Delivering a message: Rock band talks financial literacy in schools

Getting a teenager to listen to financial advice or think financial planning is a challenge. A big challenge, but one that musician Gooding has decided to take on.

Gooding believes that the right delivery model is key. As a leader of the band “Gooding,” the model is rock and roll.

“When I was coming up I didn’t want to listen to parents and teachers, but rock and roll was the thing. I have the microphone, and I better do something with it,” he said.

Gooding, which is currently on tour throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, will bring their act Harvey County. They will perform at 2 p.m. Sept. 8 at Newton High School, 9 a.m. Sept. 9 at Halstead at 2 p.m. Burrton High School.

The concert will include a short video to introduce the band, a performance of their original music and then a talk by lead singer Gooding abut financial literacy and issues.

Rock ‘n’ roll bands and good fiscal management often go together like peas and carrots. But Gooding, a California-based band with deep Midwestern roots, wants to use music to help the youth of America to make better financial choices.

“We’re rock and rollers first, but we’re rock ‘n’ rollers with a message,” says the band’s leader, Gooding. “After traveling around the United States for a decade… we played in every state. We started seeing same-day lenders crop up, seeing people struggling. A lot of the issues — people losing hope and people feeling like they weren’t going to get ahead… came back to financial literacy. I left high school knowing more about geometry than I did balancing a check book.”

Puerto Vallarta Continues to Shine!

by Taniel Chemsian

As America’s baby boomers continue to age and look forward to longer and longer life spans, they are setting their sights on retirement and making their U.S. dollars last as long as possible.

And at upwards of 16 Mexico pesos to the dollar, this becomes ever more feasible. Hence the dramatic up-tick in migration south of the border adding to an ever-growing ex-pat community.

From that moment on, the Pacific Coast’s cobblestone clad Mexican beach town was forever in the global spotlight and on the map for tourists from the United States and Canada.
