At about this time last year I wrote a hypothetical graduation speech (I speak a lot to college students and on Monday I’ll be speaking at a high school but never for graduation.) Nonetheless, I’m confident that, sooner or later, I’ll speak at a graduation ceremony. (Hey, it’s good to be optimistic.) In the meantime, you can read my transcript draft here:

Graduation Speech Part 1: You’re even. Now.

Graduation Speech Part 2: Tell your money to go to work

Graduation Speech Part 3: Don’t be cheap, be fiscally responsible.

Graduation Speech Part 4: Debt sucks (your money away)

Graduation Speech Part 5: Taxes are taxing

Graduation Speech Part 6: Use Protection

Graduation Speech Part 7: Take advantage of your benefits or you’re being kind of dumb.

Graduation Speech Part 8: Who is Ira Roth?

Graduation Speech Part 9: Performance Matters

Graduation Speech Part 10: Death happens

Graduation Speech Conclusion: Use it or lose it.

What do you think?  Oh and don’t forget: you can follow me now on Twitter.
