North Dakota's longest-serving state treasurer won't seek another term in 2020.

Treasurer Kelly Schmidt told the Tribune on Tuesday that she doesn't intend to run for a fifth four-year term.

"This is not something I have taken lightly," the Republican said. "I have thought about it. I have prayed about it. I have visited with my family about it. And it's just time for a new chapter. I think we all get to that point that it's time to turn the page, and I feel that it's my time."

Do you remember the days when people wrote a check for everything, or prior to that cash was used for purchases? Today it seems I seldom have cash on me, and rarely do we use checks. We have come to a time when it is all about online shopping or using debit or credit cards, creating ample ways to overspend.

The tax season is upon us.  Every year, people ask what should I do with my tax refund?  First, if you are expecting a tax refund remember that the government is not giving you a bonus, this is money you should have received all year.

We all hear a lot about credit scores and checking our credit and increasing our credit score but what does this all mean!?!

Many of us struggle as we try to understand what the “credit score stuff” really includes and why does it matter. Yet, we all know it is a deciding factor for financial institutions when determining if we will receive a credit card or a loan.

I love the start of a new year and the opportunities it brings.  I am not one for resolutions, but certainly, use this time of year to assess.  We all know nothing changes if nothing changes.  Financial changes require goals, family discussion, and organization.  

It’s that time of year again, Christmas!  A time to focus on our fellow man, our family and The Child given to us in a manger.  Or is it? Too many it’s a time to spend, spend, spend.
