  14. A Waterfall Concept is a #tax-exempt #insurance policy that is rolled over to a child or a grandchild. IE a 'Waterfall'.
  15. What if #credit was no more? Could you survive w/o your little peice of plastic? Think of the European mess. No more Lattes paid on a card.
  16. Facebook shares will be set for sale somewhere from $28-$35 per with over 330million shares available
