Everyone's heard of a Swiss bank account. The high tech security, the secrecy, the safety. Well, the image given to these fail safe accounts isn't exactly the truth. You can't take your drug money, or stolen artwork and hide it in these accounts. That's illegal. You can hold any funds that you can prove are legally yours. I've gotten so interested in having one of these accounts because of the current state of the economy. My bank, Wachovia, was sold to Wells Fargo today for around $15 billion. I'm not sure what will mean for my future, but it makes me a bit worried. I've decided that I will open up two accounts, one for me, and one for my niece, Ahni'ya (pronounce Ah-ny-ah)
The account I'll start for my niece is the most important in my mind. My siblings and I decided that we wanted to do all that we could to make sure that she gets all the opportunities to leave Bowling Green, KY and do something with her life. I've seen what that void does to people with dreams and ambitions; they all leave or get destroyed. I really want something better for her than her parents can give her. I feel like I need to be the one to give her a safety net in life because I've know how hard it's been for me.
I need to stop trying to save everyone else and focus on me.
