Did you know… The first coins were made over 2500 years ago, and paper money was first ever used in China over 1000 years ago! #WISE#FunFacts@YHSMrsMero#Finance#money
Did you know… ? Coins stay in circulation for about 30 years, which is when they become too worn to use. And at that time, the Federal Reserve takes them out of circulation and melts them down to use for other purposes. #Funfact#DidYouKnow#WISE#finance@YHSMrsMero

I started to make my symposium board this week and I can’t wait for the symposium. I had an amazing WISE experience and cannot wait for the future. Im so grateful for everything WISE, Mrs. Mero, and so many others have done for me. #WISE#Future#Finance@YHSMrsMero#Accounting

The Federal Government is running out of money and inching towards default. This would be an absolutely unfettered economy catastrophe. Unemployment would skyrocket, the economy would drastically contract, and over the course of the year inflation would crush Americans.
I had a great time meeting with my mentor Mrs. Woolley yesterday and we talked about WISE, the future, and more! I'm gonna miss seeing Mrs Woolley every week, and i am so grateful for everything she has done! #WISE#mentor@YHSMrsMero

With a staggering 31.4 trillion in debt, the United States is running out of money, and trying to raise the debt ceiling. If we run out of money thousands of federal workers will lose their jobs and so many more problems will come with including most likely, a recession.
House Republicans have passed legislation in order to increase the debt limit and some spending cuts as well, that the Democrats are not in favor of. I think that we are going to see a-lot of negotiating in the future, and hopefully our leaders can find a fix to this problem.
