Do millionaires pick up stray coins on the street?
From the Marketplace Datebook, here’s an extended look at what’s coming up next week:
Students from around the country are in Washington to compete in the annual National Geographic Bee championships getting underway Monday.
Look over your financial plans because Tuesday is Be a Millionaire Day. Something I think most of us like to think about. At least how we’ll spend it.
Also on Tuesday, the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee holds a roundtable discussion on economic security for working women.
And 60 years ago, Bill Haley and His Comets’ “Rock Around the Clock” was released as the B-side of the single “Thirteen Women.” It still sounds totally rockin’.
Toward the end of the week, we get some reports on housing for April: Thursday, the National Association of Realtors reports on sales of existing homes. Friday, the Commerce Department issues data on new home sales.
And before you vanish into your three-day odyssey of BBQ, beaches and beer for Memorial Day weekend, let’s land face up on National Lucky Penny Day.
That’s right, pick that lucky penny up: you’re working toward being a millionaire, after all.
