you his skills!
I was Albert Peterson in ‘Bye Bye

school had seen in a long time. Ever
since, I’ve had the bug. For me being

Pay Yourself First.
Money can’t buy happiness, but the lack of it
in the future could really bum you out.
Perhaps you’ll want to own a house. Or have children.
Maybe you’ll want to see the world, or devote yourself
to good causes.
If so, you’d better start saving! At NEFCU, you can
open a Future Saver Certificate with a great rate
for as little as $25, and add money to it as often
as you wish.
Start building your nest egg now!

that I look like Jon Heder but by
far most often when I am doing the
impression.”
