Don’t Go Back Into Debt!
Dear Dave,
We paid off our cars
a few months ago, and
that freed up almost $800
month. We have two small
children, and we’d like to
take a camping trip in a few
months, but we would need
a roomier vehicle. We found
a used van, and we think
we could have it paid off in
12 months. We’d still have
more money left than before,
so would this be okay?
Melissa
Dear Melissa,
I’m confused. Are
you telling me that you just
got out from under $800
worth of car payments each
month, and now you want
to go right back and pick up
another one? I think you’ve
missed the point of my plan.
The point is to get out of
debt, because living debt-
free is less stressful. Live like
no one else, so that later you
can live like no one else!
What you’re saying is you’re
thinking about putting your
family’s financial future in
jeopardy because you want
to go on a little camping
trip in a roomier car. This
is a really bad plan. You’re
talking about a luxury item.
I went without a vacation
for four years trying to get
my life back together after
I went broke. Now, I’m not
suggesting that you live with
this attitude for the rest of
your life, but I’m pretty sure
there are other ways to make
this trip happen.
You don’t need
a different vehicle to go
camping. Buy a couple of
tents, throw them in the
back of the car, and head
for the woods. If your cars
are really just too small to
handle everything, then rent
a bigger car for the weekend.
I’d rather you spend a couple
hundred bucks on that instead
of picking up another car
payment.
I think you need to do
some soul searching on this
one, Melissa. Your mindset
worries me, because it’s just
not logical. If you want to
get out of debt so you can
have a better life, then why
in the world would you go
out and saddle yourself with
more debt all over again?!
—Dave
He said he would
help, now he’s gone
Dear Dave,
I think I made a big
mistake when I bought my
car. I’m having a hard time
affording the $500 a month
payments, because I only
make minimum wage at
my job and work 35 hours
a week. My boyfriend, who
was supposed to help me
pay for it, has moved out and
left me. I owe $20,000 on
the car, but I know it’s still
worth about $19,000. What
can I do?
Rachel
Dear Rachel,
Sell the car! You
went car crazy and bought a
vehicle that was way out of
your league.
Right now, your
entire financial world is
wrapped up in paying for
this thing and depending on
a boyfriend to help make
the payments was a mistake,
too. When he left, so did the
financial support.
At this point all you
need is enough credit to
cover the hole that you dug.
Go to your local bank or
credit union and try to get a
very small loan from them –
about $3,000. If the car will
sell for $19,000 then get it
sold and use $1,000 to cover
the difference.
Then, take the
remaining $2,000, and buy
yourself a little beater. We’re
not talking about anything

safety ideas. This year NOAA weather radio for

proaching storms.
Another thing to con-
sider is having a fam-
ily emergency plan.
In place.
Know the difference be-
tween tornado watches
and warnings.
Remember if you are in
a mobile home, GET OUT
AND GET TO SAFETY.
Never try to outrun a tor-
nado, they can be upon
you quicker than you
might think.
It pays to practice your
safety plan Don’t forget to
do it like a fire drill at least
once a year.
Flying debris is the great-
est danger during a storm.
That is why most people
use things like mattress-
es, sleeping bags and
like blankets to shell your-
self from flying debris
Forget about the old no-
tion about opening win-
dows. When Shopping,
learn where rest rooms,
freezers, etc are in case
of a storm while shopping
or running errands.
All public buildings in-
cluding schools, nursing
homes and other public
entities should have a tor-
nado plan in place, with
easy to read signs posted
to direct people to safe
places.
Also keep an eye on the
sky, you never know when
a spring storm can come
up. Don’t only rely on the
media for storm informa-
tion. Know what a wall
cloud and a funnel looks
like.
Here are some things to
look for, Strong Persistent
rotation in the cloud base,
Whirling dist or debris on
the ground under a cloud
base
lowed by dead calm or a
fast intense wind shift.
Day or night a loud roar
or rumble which does not
fade like thunder.
Look for electrical trans-
formers to pop and spark
when hit..
Some ideas to protect
yourself. Avoid windows,
go to the lowest floor ,
preferably a small center
room like a bathroom or a
Closetor in an interior hall-
way with no windows.
Crouch as low as
possible,facing down and
cover your head with your
hands.
A bathtub may offer a
small partial shell of pro-
tection. Even in an interior
room cover yourself with
some sort of thick pad-
ding. To protect against
falling debris.in case the
roof and ceiling fail.
This is not a complete
list, but just a reminder for
our readers to be storm
savvy this and every year.
