The first to submit his research booklet was Isaac Haynes. He is a seven year old resident of Colleton County. Isaac is the son of William and Romana Haynes. His paternal grandparents are James and Helen Haynes; paternal great-grandparents are Carry and Franklin Haynes and Peter and Evea Blue.

To talk about money can be taboo to some people. I found that I have to be careful and choose my audience carefully. Money can come from many walks of life, having to work hard for it, inheritance, winnings, investing, savings, and many other ways. These tough economic times has consumers taking a look at how they talk about their money. If you put your mind to it nothing is impossible. If you believe you will save than there is a good chance you can. No matter how the money comes to you put your mind to work and have the money work for you. |
