Using credit cards wisely is important for people of all ages...
Especially for young people just starting out. In fact, a 2009 study by student loan provider Sallie Mae found that 84% of college undergraduates had at least one credit card and half of college students had four or more cards. What's more, the average (mean) balance grew to $3,173, which was higher than the findings in previous studies. Check out this video from Kiplinger.com for some important information to consider about kids and credit cards.

With Engelken’s Resignation, Steamboat City Council Needs Another Council Member. How about you?
Last week Steamboat City Council member Jim Engelken announced his resignation from the Steamboat Springs City Council due to his family’s upcoming move to the Denver Area. His resignation leaves an open seat on the City Council. Engelken’s last day on the Council will be July 6th, so the City Council will have 30 days to elect a new Council member by majority vote. The elected official will fill out the remainder of Engelken’s term, until November 2011. Steamboat REALTORS®, this is the perfect opportunity to increase REALTOR® input on the City Council! If you are interested in the position, please contact the Steamboat City Clerk’s office for more information.
