Plan to trade in my old school 📱

When is the best time to trade in an iPhone 13 Pro that is in great with Verizon? I’ve been a customer for over 8 years since my high school year, and most of the deals they always run are for new customers or adding a new line, which don’t apply to me. Any tips? Thank you. #letschat #AskLemo

Im too old for school

One of the most common thoughts for someone who goes back to school later in life is that we are just too old for this. But I realize that I had an advantage when I went back to college at 35. I had more life experience, more failures, more successes, and an overall better understanding of how
