Interns from Central Indiana arrived at Interactive Intelligence to hear Pete the Planner share his words of wisdom. Pete broke down the secrets to good credit, how to pay off debt, three keys to budgeting, and ten ways to create financial momentum. Check out his website for more information, or even invest in one of his booksâyou wonât regret this purchase. He managed to fit in a toilet paper analogy, what the heck a 401k is, and what your parents have been wrong about all in a one hour.
If you couldnât attend and youâre looking for a real takeaway, check out Peteâs ideal budget. Itâs simple! If you spend less than the allocated percentage in one category, you can reallocate that money to another category (whether it is paying student loans or the new pair of shoes of youâve been eyeing).
Thanks to Indiana Council for Internships and Cooperative Education, Interactive Intelligence, and Pucciniâs Smiling Teeth, the event was a huge success. Indy Interns went home feeling a little more confident about the real world. Additionally, several interns left with prizes, including copies of Peteâs three books, tickets to the Indiana State Fair and Indianapolis Indians, and ChaCha Search, Inc. gear.
Stay tuned for Indy Internsâ final summer eventâweâll be exploring the Indianapolis Cultural Trail and  Indiana State Museum on Saturday, August 4 from 9:30am to 1:30pm.
