Quote:IHCDA works with organizations around the state to help Hoosiers better themselves through a structured matched savings program. Individual Development Accounts (IDAs) are available on a limited basis to qualified Hoosiers who are interested in improving their financial literacy and participating in a dedicated savings program where their deposited funds are matched. Once matched, and upon completion of a detailed work plan and financial counseling, program participants may put their savings towards a qualified asset purchase. Since 1997, Indiana’s Individual Development Account program has assisted low-moderate income Hoosiers to attain their goals through matched-savings incentives and financial education. Operating on the rationale that income alone, is not enough for individuals to break trends of generational poverty, the IDA program focuses on asset building as a key component towards family and self-sufficiency. Participants in the IDA program are eligible to receive up to $4,500 in state match funds towards one of the eligible asset goals mentioned above. Participants also receive one-on-one counseling and 6+ hours of financial education covering topics such as budgeting, savings, credit, banking, taxes, and other money management strategies. Qualified participants set savings goals and make regular savings deposits. Every dollar they save is matched, at a minimum for $3 for every $1 saved, to help them reach their goals so they can: Purchase a primary residence located in Indiana Expand a small business located in Indiana Obtain Education and Job Training Make essential repairs to owner-occupied housing Purchase a vehicle for employment, education, or job training purposes

Even CNN can't hide the lack of optimism for the future anymore. https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/02/politics/unhappiness-americans-gallup-analysis/index.html Explain this one away: In the United States, 36.5 percent of adults have obesity. Another 32.5 percent of American adults are overweight. In all, more than two-thirds of adults in the United States are overweight or have obesity. https://www.healthline.com/health/obesity-facts#1.-More-than-one-third-of-adults-in-the-United-States-have-obesity. I am pretty damn sure that the food is not forcing itself on these fat Americans. They are doing it to themselves. The most recent episode of My 600-Pound Life (S10E14) has Lisa from Fairbury, Nebraska complaining that she has done everything asked of her and yet she is still gaining weight. Lisa was lying. She did nothing right, but she did get sick, spent a month in the hospital, and lost 75 pounds because the hospital won't feed her 12,000 Calories per day. As soon as she was out, she regained the weight and complained it was NOT her fault. She blamed the doctor, the physical therapist, the psychiatrist for her weight gain. I am absolutely certain that most Americans are as unconscious as Lisa about what they are doing wrong. That wrongness isn't limited to just food or money. Americans do like Lisa does and blame authority figures such as Doctors or Presidents for why Lisa and Americans are unhappy.

But I won't abide a shill dumbfuck like you pretending that he's helping them claw their way out of being asset poor either. Read the fucking OP and the post that follows it, or shut the fuck up.
