Hey FoolProof team.

My name Is Shawn M. A. Miranda from Gillette Wy. I just finished your program and I am about to get my first debt card. I am 17 (18 next Jan) and a senior in high school. I would just like to thank you for making the FoolProof program. It really was very helpful and I learned so much that my head feels 5 pounds heavier haha.

Again it was so helpful to me and it's something I will carry with me for a long time. Thou I have a few questions I think I will let the smoke coming from my brain to clear first.
I'm not sure but would you consider a web cam program? It would help people get the answers they didn't get from the mods and may clear up some murky things.

Any way that's just an idea, thank you again I hope to hear for you guys because I do have a few Q's.

Thank you FoolProof
Sincerely Shawn M. A. Miranda

Another email with student feedback came from one of our FoolProof credit unions. Check out this communication and attached document:

Greetings Gentlemen!

I wanted to pass along to you some unsolicited student reviews that I just received from the Edgewood High School Academy of Finance students, as shared with me by the Academy Teacher.

Will, this is the group of students that we addressed in our first visit when you were here.
More proof from the mouths of babes that FoolProof is very, very valuable.

Also, I was thrilled to get the e-mail re: Foolproof Workplace. I plan to take a look following the Thanksgiving Holiday. I already have a bunch of ideas for promoting this module.

Thanks so much!

Happy Holidays to all my FoolProof friends!

We get lots of feedback from young people, asking for information on credit cards, how to pick a credit union, or in this case, how to get a student loan:

Hi Will,

I was wondering what the best Loan Program for college bound students??? I will be studying overseas for 4 years and my choices are pretty much limited. This is what I found in the website on the university in which I will attend:

"The University of St Andrews does not have a list of preferred lenders. As we are an overseas institution, students are able to select a lender of their choice. The most commonly used lenders that students use are:

  • American Student Assistance
  • Sallie Mae"

(Its in St.Andrews, Scotland by the way)

My question is which one is the best to borrow money from or one that you know won't come with high interest rates???
Here is an overview guideline of what the University is asking for:

Last but not least...I have seen all your FoolProof modules and I think their amazing!!! My parents where impressed, thank you for making this accessible for students, you guys rock!!!

I know that you mentioned to have at least one Credit Union. I’m still struggling with that right now; since I live in a small town in Yuma, Arizona…I only have two options either Yuma County FCU (http://www.ycfcu.com/index.html) or AEU Credit Union (http://www.aeafcu.org/).

I don't know how to start and I'm not sure which one will provide more benefits when it comes to school loans or other money matters, now that I will live abroad for at least 4 years!!! And I don’t like my current bank which is Wells Fargo when it comes to using both credit and debit cards abroad.

Hopefully this e-mail finds you well. I wish you and the CUHQ TEAM a wonderful day. Thank You In Advance!!!!
