Are you an impulse buyer?
Do you over-spend?
Or do you just plain waste money on the stuff you don’t need?
Spendster.org began as the brainchild of the National Endowment for Financial Education® (NEFE®) CEO, Ted Beck. On a trip to Los Angeles, Ted said, “Listen, everyone has a drawer at home full with junk. I doubt anyone has really sat down to think about how much money they’ve spent on it all.”
Do you have a story to share? Or if you’re too embarrassed to tell the world what you spend your money on, you can always use the Spendster Calucator to figure out what your money would have been worth if you had bought Google stock back in 2004 or put the money in a high interest banking account for 40 years.
Check out the site at Spendster.org and if you see someone on there talking about their designer purse obsession…don’t tell my husband it’s me!

If you are headed to the Botanic Garden’s for one of the shows featured in this year’s Summer Concert Series, make sure to check out the sponsors on the flat screen TVs.
Kudos to our own Sara Pacheco for designing an eye-catching image that informs patrons that Indigio is helping the Botanic Garden’s grow their online presence.

After moving to Colorado in August 2007, I quickly embraced the local sports teams attending a Broncos, Rockies and Avalanche game. With that said, having been born and raised in Michigan, I will forever be a Detroit Rock City girl!
So, today I must say to all of my fellow Indigians that while it was a good fight, the Detroit Red Wings are moving on to the Conference Finals after sweeping the Colorado Avalanche with a 8 – 2 victory last night.
I will conclude my blog entry by simply saying….Go Wings!

SNA has partnered with the NAA on several one-day symposiums. I attended one of these sessions here in Denver today which was jam-packed with information to help newspapers in smaller markets.

Back in early February, a handful of Indigians put in a full day’s work to help paint a Habitat for Humanity home in Englewood, CO. On Wednesday, Terri, Thomas, Ronnie and myself returned to the home site to participate in the official dedication. While I may be a little bias based on the fact that we painted the ENTIRE house in one day, it was absolutely beautiful!
I was also surprised at the number of people who turned out, but I’m glad we attended as we all walked away feeling good about the 8 hours that we took out of our busy schedules to help two families who both shed tears as they thanked us for our generosity.
We don’t have a date for our next Habitat event, but stay tuned as we will let everyone know once it has been locked down.
