Don’t Forget THIS During A Deep Housecleaning (NAPSI)—When it comes to doing a thor- ough cleaning, there are the “usual suspects”: getting rid of old clothes and magazines, organiz- ing the pantry, cleaning the yard and getting the garden ready to plant. But there’s one item that many people don’t think about when it comes to deep cleaning—unused, unwanted cans of paint. Not only do cans of paint clutter a base- ment, garage or crawl space, these areas are susceptible to moisture that can cause cans to become rusty or leaky. It’s important to prop- erly dispose of unused paint-especially if you have completed any home improvement projects in the past year. Before you get rid of your paint, however, it’s wise to create a paint list to keep in your fi les. Include the brand name, paint color or number, and the name of the room where that paint was used. Th en, you can reference this list when you need to do a touch- up or when you’re look- ing to repaint. Next, think about us- ing up left over paint for another project. Instead of buying new paint, simply use some paint you may already have. Looking to give an old rocking chair or dresser a makeover so it looks fresh and new? Use up paint from a recent bedroom or bathroom makeover. If repurposing left - over paint in creative ways isn’t up your alley, there’s a way to recycle and properly dispose of unused paint: Take it to a PaintCare drop- off site. PaintCare is the paint recycling program that makes it easy for consumers and busi- nesses to drop off their unwanted paint for re- cycling at no additional Properly disposing of leftover paint is easier than many Colo- radans think through a paint recycling program. cost at over 170 partici- pating locations in Col- orado. Drop-off sites are conveniently located at paint and hardware stores and accept all paint brands, regardless of when or at which store in Colorado it was purchased. Items that can be dropped off for recycling include most house paints, primers, stains, sealers, and clear top coatings (varnish and shellac). Drop-off is available year-round during each retail loca- tion’s regular business hours. PaintCare then works with partners to trans- port the collected paint from the drop-off sites to processing facilities, where it’s remixed into recycled-content paint, given away through local reuse programs, used as fuel, or used in other products and ap- plications. If it can’t be recycled or used some other way, it will be dried out and properly disposed of. When you need to buy paint for a project in the future, make sure you buy the right amount to minimize left over paint. Th en, you won’t need to worry about using up or recycling the rest. To do this, give the representa- tives at your paint store the dimensions of the Graphic Search Sinking of the Titanic Anniv.: April 15, 1912 room you’re painting. Th ey should be able to tell you how much you’ll need, depending on the type of coating and the desired outcome. You can also use an online paint calculator to help determine how much paint you need to get. Th e next time you think about storing or throw- ing away unwanted paint, think again...and recycle it!

A recent study revealed a link between early fi nancial education and future adult income. (NAPSI)—G o o d news for parents: You can help your kids learn to do well. Stud- ies suggest a clear cor- relation between early education in money and future fi nancial success. Financially Educated Children Become Financially Successful Adults People who learned about money as chil- dren were three times as likely to have a per- sonal annual income of $75K or higher than those who didn’t, ac- cording to a survey by Quicken, maker of the best-selling personal fi nance soft ware in the U.S. But there’s a problem: One-third of adults surveyed said no one taught them about money when they were children. Among that group, only 13 percent report a high level of confi dence in their fi - nances. How Does Your Own Upbringing Infl uence What You Teach Your Kids? People who learned about money as chil- dren were 20 percent more likely to prior- itize teaching their own kids about mon- ey. Th ose who said no one taught them about money as a child were twice as likely to delay talking to their own children about money until age 18 or older. Teaching Tools Th e top tools—allow- ance, savings accounts, piggy banks—may not have changed much, but the lessons have evolved. Today, parents are teaching their chil- dren about charitable giving 60 percent more than their own parents did, using credit cards as teaching tools al- most 50 percent more, and teaching their kids about investing 85 percent more than the people who taught them about money. Money Talk Tips To help your family discuss fi nance, try these three ideas: 1. Set an example. If you’re an example of fi nancial responsibili- ty, your kiddos will be more likely to follow. 2. Use tools. Th e right tools can make a big diff erence. Th e survey showed that 62 percent of the people who do not use any personal fi nance tools also reported a lack of confi dence in their current fi nancial situ- ation. 3. Talk early and of- ten. An early start and frequent conversations about money can be key to setting your kids on the path to a healthy fi nancial future.
