“Time out of mind” is shot mostly with hidden cameras, we watch George (Richard Gere) walk on the streets, just as other homeless people that society pretends are invisible, do. We get to see from their point of view (the homeless) how cruel and indifferent the world is when it comes to

I suppose we never really think about this when we have our parents or other caregivers equipping us with the necessary tools to deal with the ignorance of some people in society, right? Those who stick to a rigid set of rules and can’t for the sake of their lives, 
In this movie the Heist, the critics really gave it bad ratings comparing the film to Oceans Eleven (it was a popular movie) and saying how there was nothing new. Here’s my view- I thought it was a great depiction of how a gangster known in the streets as the Pope (Robert Dinero) can have a change of heart after facing his own mortality.

Financial problems have reached epidemic proportions in our country, a crisis that causes major problems at both the community and national levels. Financial issues contribute to a variety of troubles many people face today: from crushing debt to retirement shortfalls.

Reading that the majority of U.S. adult workers have no savings or retirement plan tells us that those people will be unable to retire.
The U.S. economy is consumption-based. As people become unable to afford purchases- that reduces the country’s GDP. The whole world will feel the effects. But according to the NFEC, the country’s leading financial education providers, simply raising people’s personal finance knowledge empowers them toward secure futures.
