@ricedelman I hear that financial planning can be a good field for mid-career professionals looking to shift into something they are more passionate about. Do you find this to be true? Maybe I'll make my way back to Glassboro for a "2nd Act". Congrats on the School and Thank you!

I’m excited to be Founding Head of Rowan University’s new School of Financial Planning, in partnership with Edelman Financial Engines. We’re offering a minor, major and master’s, and we plan to produce more CFP-ready graduates than any other college in the country. Just in time, too. Every day, 12,000 Americans turn 65 – creating a shortfall of 100,000 advisors by 2035. We’ll also make sure our new advisor corps is more diverse, compared to today’s, which is 80% white and 70% male. A more diverse advisor corps can more effectively serve the diverse communities that make up our nation. The need for more advisors is huge: Fewer than 200 colleges and universities offer financial planning degrees – compared to 1,500 offering business, accounting, finance and marketing degrees. The result? Last year, 268,000 seniors graduated with those degrees. But financial planning? Barely 4,000 students got that degree. It’s ironic, because financial planning is a far better career choice. Financial planning offers abundant job opportunities, is far less threatened by AI, offers some of the best compensation of any career in America, and can be performed anywhere. But the best reason financial planning is a great career is because of the people we serve, the lives we improve, the families we help. And help is exactly what families need today. Most adults can’t correctly answer half the questions on a financial literacy quiz; they don’t understand inflation, diversification or compounding. No wonder they make bad financial decisions! Only 70% of workers participate in their retirement plan, and most don’t contribute enough or choose the right investments – so almost all of them enter retirement with far less money than they need. The result: 65+ is the fastest-growing age group for bankruptcy filings. All because most Americans lack a financial planner. In fact, only 21% of adults have a written financial plan. No wonder most Americans are failing financially! Clearly, we need more financial planners to help us end our nation’s retirement readiness crisis. And now, Rowan University is part of the solution, in partnership with Edelman Financial Engines, the firm Jean and I founded 40 years ago, now serving 1.3M households. Rowan students who become financial planners will change the lives of the people they serve – and they’ll be serving our nation at the same time. I’m proud of the generous support of Edelman Financial CEO Ralph Haberli and the board. Through the Rowan University School of Financial Planning, we will lead the nation in efforts to create the next generation of financial planners, we will encourage other universities to partner with us, and we will foster financial literacy throughout our community and the country. I’m proud to be leading this important initiative. Want to get involved?

@CardinalDolan Saints preserve us! Amen!

These short punchy little prayers called aspirations are well worth recovering, and “Saints preserve us!” is one of them. We recall that we belong to a supernatural family called the Church, and that we’re always surrounded by the arms of God, the mercy of Jesus, the mantle of our Blessed Mother, and in the company of the angels and saints.

@ZohranKMamdani @KathyHochul @MarkLevineNYC @JumaaneWilliams Bills Mafia condemns "globalize the intifada". You are not Bills Mafia.

We didn’t smash any tables. We didn’t eat a garbage plate. But you better believe the Bills got that W today. Thanks to Governor @KathyHochul for bringing the #BillsMafia energy to Astoria today—and to Murphy’s Bar for having us.

@ChrisTrapasso I also enjoy Bada Bing downtown

@AffordAnything This 100% describes my newfound love of boxing

Qualities of successful people: 1. A relentless drive to get better. You might suck at something when you first start out. Fine. Embrace it. You begin, and then you get better. 2. Taking care of your energy, so you can put forth your best work. Sleep, eat clean, get movement.

@AffordAnything In college I worked sales for the Christmas season at a jewelry store in the mall to save for an upcomming semester abroad. I don't wear jewelry and know nothing about it. Just wanted a job where I could wear a suit.

What’s the strangest side hustle you’ve ever attempted?

@ricedelman @TheCompoundNews Thanks for the quick response, my esteemed and fellow Rowan alum!

@Jim_Murray2 @TheCompoundNews Jim, thanks for flagging. Was silly of me not to mention. Will add it to the list of options, which of course it legitimately is! Duh.

I joined @TheCompoundNews today to discuss my new crypto allocation recommendation. Check out the interview 👇 Read the white paper 👉 bit.ly/3HSycMA

@carolmassar @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk Sometimes the simple answer (that its true) is correct. That being said, nothing would surprise me anymore.

Do you believe that the @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk spat is real. Some wonder. What do you think?

@AffordAnything Buying opp?

Bad day to be a Tesla investor (which I am 🙈)

@historyinmemes James Carroll? Its Robert Prevost from Chicago!

@ChrisCamillo @RobinhoodApp "Enter a conclave as pope, leave as a cardinal". Its so wide open, this list is as reasonable as any, but it could easily be someone who is not a media frontrunner. My deep dark horse is Ouellet.

Something about this feels off. Also, @RobinhoodApp prediction market please add

@Robert_A_Berger @YouTubeTV I cycle through various streamers one at a time. When i feel like i've seen what i want on Netflix, i'll drop it and pick up Peacock for example. And just regular free youtube and free digital antenna for the broadcast channels. Tmobile home internet for $50.

What are the best alternatives to @YouTubeTV? It cost $35 a month when it was first launched. Now it's $82.99.

@AffordAnything I concur

Holy fucking shit.

@AffordAnything Interesting to see this just as I was thinking about steps to achieving my goals and was asking myself "instead of taking additional actions, what are things I am doing that if i just stopped doing would accelerate me to my goals?" Scrolling of course!

At least 80% of success stems from not getting distracted by the internet.
