In the spirit of feeling thankful, I can’t help but look forward to Thanksgiving Day. I love the camaraderie of the holiday and getting swept away in the spirit of the moment. Honestly, there really is no other day in the year I am blessed to spend a whole day with so many generations of my family. We share with one another what we’re thankful for, discuss the previous year of events and reminisce loved ones who could not be with us this year. Nevertheless, the glorious spread of turkey, gravy, three types of salad, multiple potato dishes, and pumpkin pie that awaits us inevitably takes center stage.

Greensburg, green trees, Green Account shirts, and a gleaming green party bus are just a few ways to describe last weekend’s community service project. However, green was not the only color we saw in Greensburg, KS. Brown barren land where houses once stood, two gray stairways that at one time led to the second level of a community building, and a ruptured red brick wall were some of the other colors we saw there. This goes to say, hearing about and seeing documentaries on TV do not compare to physically standing in the middle of the devastation.

I can’t isolate when it started happening, but when it comes to certain tasks—I’ve found myself procrastinating. A lot. This includes avoiding logging into Net-24 to take care of my day-to-day finances. I don’t mind logging into Facebook, some would argue a strikingly similar task. I would be the one arguing with them, obviously. And even worse, after procrastinating, I inevitably forget about the task until the very last minute (like when I’m driving to work).

BWCU is committed to community service. The “Family” philosophy of the credit union considers community service absolutely necessary. It would benefit any and all companies to emphasize community service to its employees because service is what creates community.

Don’t get me wrong, I hug my employer and primary financial institution. And I also hugged our Bill Pay, right when we implemented it. At BWCU, we like to stay ahead of the game, offering products before they’re commodities. When we rolled out online banking, we were one of the first local financial institutions to the market, and the same is true for mobile banking. Unfortunately, Bill Pay, while wonderful in its initial concept and functionality, is no longer assisting me in my conquest to pretend I don’t have financial responsibilities.

Was I a fan of the original 90210? I won’t lie, yes I was. But I lost interest shortly after their high school graduation and tuned in again for Donna and David’s wedding. What? It was the end of an era! Looking back, I likely lost interest because I was old enough to have a life, but remember becoming bored. So unlike most fans I DID NOT want the 90210 remix to be like the original. Don’t get me wrong, I still catch reruns on Soap Network (even post-high school epis), but I didn’t have any delusions of an amazing pilot or the sky opening up and angels shining down on the next great series. I mean, if the Friends pilot struggled, what could I expect? Well, except maybe a morsel of Brian Austin Green. But, enough girl talk.

I registered to vote when I turned 18 because I was born to Cuban immigrant parents and it was so important to them that we all participate.

Much as understanding why Audrina keeps going back to Justin Bobby, determining your retirement savings goal is perplexing. I rummage around on the Internet using retirement calculators only to become more frustrated and confused. Some say I need millions. Others are shrouded in mystery providing the very insightful advice, “You’re on the right track!” And I’m even more frustrated with articles saying “You’re young! If you save anything you’re ahead of the game.” Is that really true? Based on some of the lofty figures I see, I don’t think “anything” will cut it. I’m a numbers girl. Give me a goal and I’ll find a way to hit it.

Are you tired of answering your parent’s question of “When are you going to be home?”
Is your roommate’s dirty laundry cramping your style? (And maybe your stomach?)
Maybe you and your new spouse are ready to settle down and start a family.
