Why Do 85% of Lottery Winners End Up Broke? The Relationship Between Financial and Personal Growth. Find Out More This Tuesday From Tom Young.

(Beaver County, PA)  Even wise old King Solomon from the book of Ecclesiastes exclaimed “Vanity of Vanities, all is Vanity”.  The ancient ruler realized that at the end of the day, even being a wealthy king was meaningless without personal enrichment.  In this month’s presentation, Tom Young from 1st Consultants, Inc. in Beaver will delve into the importance of achieving personal growth and change, so as to create a lifestyle and an outlet to maximize one’s assets.  It’s a fact, many people who become instantly rich by winning the lottery, oftentimes end up worse off than they were before their “good fortune”. The reason is simple, they didn’t change or grow as person, and had no greater capacity within themselves to manage, or use the money for good.

Tom’s one hour program will feature dialogue that will help you learn more about personal growth and how to find ways to develop into the person that can properly handle and administer great riches.  You’ll hear Tom expound on why personal growth, and change over time isn’t an option. It happens to everyone. The difference is choosing to become the right type of person and training for it along the way to achieving affluence. Don’t miss it!

Story by Beaver County Radio Program Director Frank Sparks with contributions from News Correspondent Sandy Giordano 

(Beaver County, Pa.) There have been reports that paper products and other non-perishable foods are starting to be high in demand and stores inventory is evaporating like it did earlier in the spring when the COVID-19 Pandemic first hit. As cases start to rise and the threat of another lock down looms consumers are headed to stores to stock up in case there is another Stay at Home Order.

Fully stocked shelves of paper towels at New Brighton Foodland

Beaver County Radio Program Director Frank Sparks and News Correspondent Sandy Giordano reached out to local retailers to find out what there supply and inventory is like. Frank talked with Mike Fischer, he and his brother Ron own the New Brighton Foodland, and he said that he has everything in stock his main problem is variety of the products. Mike said he is well stocked now and is stock piling products from the warehouse to be able to supply his customers. Fischer added that the thing that surprises him is that turkeys are becoming hard to re-inventory and that we are facing a shortage of turkeys and he was told to expect the same with hams. Mike isn’t sure if it’s because of the restaurants being closed or eating capacity drastically reduced and more people are eating at home or what.

“Giant Eagle has been working tirelessly from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic to keep its shelves well-stocked with essential grocery and household items. Through daily deliveries to each location, strong relationships with existing suppliers, and the identification of new partners and alternate supply sources, we have been able to return to a strong stock position across the most in-demand items and categories in our stores.
 
“As we enter an uncertain holiday season, we encourage guests to help one another by continuing their traditional grocery shopping and refraining from bulk purchasing. If we all work together, we can ensure that everyone has access to the items they need for themselves and their families. We do not currently have any purchase limits in place but will continue to closely monitor inventory of various household items and will consider implementing purchase limits if and when necessary.”
 
Sandy Giordano put in media request to Walmart and they haven’t responded, local management doesn’t talk to the  media is what Sandy was told.
