In today’s wallet-friendly edition: Best airport 14 years running, an innovation boom reshaping the economy, and a seed starting masterclass + lots of fun things to do for free.

Today’s sponsor, American Hartford Gold, is helping folks around Hamilton County protect their savings as gold and silver continue to gain momentum. Their free guide explains what’s driving the surge… and what to know before adding precious metals to your portfolio. Grab your free copy here.

📰 In the news

Momentum builds in Noblesville: Noblesville’s Innovation Mile is helping turn the city into a regional jobs hub, with rapid growth, rising incomes, and low vacancies reshaping Hamilton County’s economy, according to new analysis — see what’s driving growth.

City priorities on the horizon: Fishers leaders say the 2026 Community Survey gathered residents’ input to guide investments and improvements, including senior and children’s programs. Survey data will be released around the end of March — see when data is released.

Upgrades behind the acclaim: Indianapolis International Airport was named North America’s Best Airport for the 14th straight year and also led its 2025 passenger size category, welcome news for Hamilton County travelers — learn what sets it apart.

Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.

Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.

Highlights this week:

• Play pickleball to benefit REALTOR® Foundation
• Celebrate inclusive art with live performances
• Shop local at Westfield Winter Market
• Save on self-care during the CVS Epic Beauty Sale

🏆 Gold and silver are heating up

Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold

Gold just posted its strongest run in decades… and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.

While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.

If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.

It’s free and worth reading before the next move.

🫶 We got your back

Fresh pasta fix: Convivio brightens weeknights with fresh house-made pasta and a seasonal menu that stays comforting yet never stale. Locally owned and cozy, it turns random Tuesdays into quiet little treat-yourself moments… the kind you savor with a glass of red and a fork twirl.

Vintage vibes, upgraded: Your closet craves main-character energy, and A.D.A. Vintage Boutique delivers rotating, one-of-a-kind finds with real staying power: luxe fabrics, striking silhouettes, effortless conversation starters. A quick browse often turns fateful as serendipity chooses your next favorite.

Recover like a pro: Sore knees, cranky back, or just need a quick mood reset? At Fishers Cryotherapy, get whole-body chills, targeted spot work, and a sauna-to-cold-plunge combo that leaves you lighter on your feet and ready for the week, without the old-porch creaks.

Thinning hair? It only gets worse: A few months ago, I noticed my ponytail getting thinner. I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, etc.) but mostly just hoped it would fix itself… until I learned that active follicles can permanently go dormant if you don’t do something about it. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn more about my favorite online options here.

Someone Googled you this week 👀

It may feel like an invasion of privacy, but unfortunately It’s the new normal. Whether you’re joining a committee, selling something locally, dating again, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up online.

Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are.

Thankfully, there’s a really easy way for you – or someone you care about – to clean up outdated results that no longer tell the real story. Learn more here.
