Article Icon 1Cost of Living Third-Highest in US

Colorado ranks as the third-most expensive place to live in the country, according to the Colorado Chamber of Commerce.

The chamber’s scorecard shows the state's cost-of-living rank has risen over the past few years. In 2022, Colorado’s cost of living was 16th highest, or 34th most affordable.

The chamber attributes the state’s surging costs to home prices, higher insurance rates, child care expenses, and inflation, though Colorado has shown improvement in areas like business, health, and wellness.

According to the chamber, Colorado ranks 48th in the nation for housing affordability.

A Fort Collins driver made his NASCAR debut over the weekend.

Scotty Milan grew up around cars, with his father owning an auto body business, and got into racing at just 7 years old.

Milan, a Colorado native now based in Fort Collins, competed in his first NASCAR ARCA race on Saturday, May 23, at the Colorado National Speedway in Dacono.

"I travel all over to go race and it's never here in Colorado, so it's nice to finally race in my hometown,” Milan said of the race.

Buffett's ‘Phone’ Rule Could Make This Company Soar

Warren Buffett famously said that "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."

But what if your phone could do it for you? 📲

That's exactly what Mode Mobile has created: technology that turns idle phone time into passive income. With 490 million+ users in their ecosystem and $1 billion+ in earnings and savings, their EarnPhone is being called the Uber of smartphones.

With 32,481% revenue growth, they were named the fastest-growing software company in 2023 by Deloitte, and with 7 billion smartphones worldwide their market could be significantly larger than Uber’s.

They’ve just secured their Nasdaq stock ticker $MODE, and you have until Friday to invest in their pre-IPO offering at $0.50/share.

🚨 Last chance to invest. Price changes on 5/29.

The next Uber? One Shark Tank Investor thinks so

Imagine turning down Uber at a valuation of $10 million, only to watch it go public at over $80 billion. That’s exactly what happened to Mark Cuban. 

But fellow Shark Tank investor Kevin Harrington may have learned from Cuban’s mistake, investing early in what investors are calling the Uber of Smartphones.

That company is Mode Mobile, and like Uber did with cars, they’re turning smartphones into income-generating assets. They’ve generated $115 million in revenue and helped users earn and save +$1 billion. And investors have one final opportunity to invest in their pre-IPO offering before their share price changes on Friday.

⚠️ Last chance to invest alongside Kevin Harrington at $0.50/share.

This is a paid advertisement for Mode Mobile Regulation A+ offering. Please read the offering circular at https://invest.modemobile.com/ *Mode Mobile recently received their ticker reservation with Nasdaq ($MODE), indicating an intent to IPO in the next 24 months. An intent to IPO is no guarantee that an actual IPO will occur. *Mode cumulative revenue includes full year revenue of businesses acquired in 2025.
