 If you were stranded on a desert island and had to choose between watching a One for All video blog about money or swimming out to sea, would you choose shark-infested waters? 

No, the water's not warm. No, you can't use your imaginary internet access for anything besides oneforallalaska.org. No, George Clooney is not there!

My point is, would a money blog really be that horrifying to you, or would you secretly love to follow it even more than American Idol and those early morning Saved by the Bell re-runs?

An idea’s brewing here at CU1 that perhaps, considering our line of work and the fact that many of us are in the young adult/middle-aged demographic, we can offer you some words of wisdom about our personal money successes and failures as we try new things in life – like buying a car, house, or just balancing the check book (who does that?). Who knows, we can probably even share some tips and tricks on the money issues we see here every day – things that apply to your life and can help you improve your own situation. I think that sounds like a pretty sweet deal. Plus, this wouldn’t be stuffy, scary money talk. It’d be more relaxed, realistic, and possibly entertaining. Here’s hoping.

Personally, I feel lost in life’s money maze all the time, and I could use some extra tips from the CU1 pros. So I’m gonna talk to a few of our branch managers and other head honchos around here, and I’ll let you know what I find out about video blog interest. Meanwhile, tell me what you might want to hear about.

P.S. Don’t worry – this social service blog isn’t going anywhere. The money blog would be like this blog’s kid brother who we keep locked in the sidebar over there --------------------------------->
