Well two weeks alone taking care of myself with my sweetheart on the mainland attending a class reunion and visiting her sisters, all the nieces, nephews made me realize again how much work it is to keep house. It also brought to mind the fact that as we age it becomes harder to learn routine all over again. Thank God for the early foundations taught and learned all those years back.
I am still surprised that the Mathmatecum has not caught on as rapidly as I thought it would. I keep plugging away and am happy to say that July saw a 6.3% increase in membership. Membership monies increased 4.75% and income is at a rate of 5.3% and all of the monies are still in I-bonds. Please remember the rate of interest on I bonds will reset on November 1st, 2023. For your personal knowledge the present rate on those bonds is available for six months as long as you purchase before 11/01/23.
What takes the most of my time working the Mathmatecum is sales. In my life I have sold lots and lots of things from bibles to timeshares. It never ever changes when you ask why the prospective purchaser is not buying? One of the most frequent answers to why the prospective client is not buying is that “it’s not for me”. Well, that is not a reasoned excuse because the Mathmatecum is for everyone and the only reason not to become a member is because a person does not have the money to join.
The income derived after joining takes up absolutely no time to acquire and the money spent to join is paid once and once only. 2.38% of members have currently received payments totaling their entire cost of membership and two Mathmatecum Directives have been executed.
Joining today still allows new members to receive a full years income – actually one heck of a deal!
