Introducing the 2025 'Kids VT' Money Issue

click to enlarge Financial literacy wasn't something I studied in school, but I've picked up enough over the years to get by. Fortunately, both of my kids went to Winooski High School, where completion of a personal finance class is a graduation requirement. I can see it paying dividends already. Both of them have jobs and are actively saving for college and a sibling trip to Europe.

Organizing partners Generator, Seven Days and Davis Studio met for months to plan this unique event.
Why Seven Days Is Breaking Up With Our 'X Post of the Week'

Feb 12, 2025 | sevendaysvt.com | Cathy Resmer

click to enlarge It's over. After publishing a Vermont-related social media post in every issue of the newspaper for nearly 16 years, Seven Days is calling it quits. The final "X Post of the Week," formerly "Tweet of the Week," ran last week. The Love & Marriage Issue seems an appropriate place to announce the breakup: Not all relationships last forever. There are lots of reasons this one ended. Elon Musk, for one.
