As college students, many of us are familiar with the need to be frugal and cognizant of our spending habits. It’s common for students to have a job, or maybe even multiple jobs, to pay or help contribute to the intimidating college tuition bill and expenses. But just because you might be short on money doesn’t mean you should wait to start saving and investing for the future.

A Maryland investor, according to a civil complaint filed by a group of regulators in September, was told that roughly $300,000 in precious metals bullion could be worth as much as $1.2 million in 10 years. At the same time, the investor was warned that every dollar could be lost in the stock market.
Pennsylvania Poised To Turn CARES Money Into School Vouchers
Parents would have to apply for the voucher, and money will be awarded on a first come first served basis. An initial period earmarks the money for families below 185% of the federal poverty level, but after November 16, any family may apply. The family can hold onto that money up until two years after the student has graduated from high school.

Chamath Palihapitiya rips airlines again and calls for more money to consumers and small
If the government approves further stimulus funds, they should go to individual consumers and small businesses, venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya said Wednesday.
In a searing diatribe against the troubled sector, the CEO of Social Capital expanded on comments he made earlier in the year to CNBC in which he said airlines should not be bailed out because they are so poorly managed.

Lakers-Heat: Bettors have absurd amounts of money riding on NBA Finals, according to William Hill
The numbers on some of the earlier bets placed on the Heat, according to William Hill Sportsbook , are stark. Here are the some of the craziest bets they took:
Now, it should be noted that these odds changed drastically over time. When 2020 championship odds were first released, the Heat were in cap hell and hadn't yet acquired Jimmy Butler . As unbelievable as it seems, there was a moment in which a 2020 Heat championship seemed practically impossible. As the season went on, their odds steadily improved. First, they got Butler, then Bam Adebayo became an All-Star, and by midseason, they'd established themselves as fringe contenders.

Report: The Capitals are trying to move money to re-sign Brenden Dillon | RSN
The Capitals need a top-pair left defenseman and, to that end, it appears they are seeking to make sure the one they have does not make it to free agency. Washington is trying to re-sign defenseman Brenden Dillon and is trying to move money in order to do so, Elliotte Friedman wrote in his "31 Thoughts" column on Wednesday .

The trade, however, did not seem to impact the team all that much considering they continued to struggle in the regular season and lost in just five games to the New York Islanders in their first-round playoff series. But bringing Dillon back is absolutely imperative for the Capitals considering how much Michal Kempny struggled.
