Have you ever suddenly realized that your bank CD matured yes terday or that you forgot to send in your car insurance premium? You can avoid these ugly sur prises by using a spending cal endar, said Debra Bryant, CFP and Penn State Cooperative Ex tension Agent in Wayne County. Penn State Cooperative Exten sion has a free monthly spending plan calendar you can use to re cord these and other important financial dates. When you get the calendar simply write the dates in the squares to match the dates of the month, or you can use any cal endar you have on hand. Then in red ink record the names of any fixed expenses (these are bills that stay the same month after month, like your rent or car pay ment) and the amount on their due dates. Don’t forget to record bills that you don’t necessarily pay every month. For example, Bryant says she pays her car in surance only every six months, so the car insurance bill shows up only on her January and July monthly spending plans. Science-Based Independent Report Confirms Beefs Important Dietary Role DENVER, Colo. A special report from the American Coun cil on Science and Health (ACSH) has provided an inde pendent, up-close and science based look at how beef fits in the diets of U.S. consumers. “The Role of Beef in the Amer ican Diet” explores key nutrition and safety issues as they re nlate to the value of including beef in the diet. -overal people, Easy stop & go, Low maintenance IDEAL FOR: Farms, ranches, yard or garden work, sporting events, hunting OPTIONS: Utility boxes, lift kit, sport tires & wheels 0 BURKHOLDER LANDSCAPING Ephrata, PA 717*335-0449 717*278-2449 Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 15, 2003-B7 Then, using a green pen write down the amount and dates of all the money you have coming in each month. For example, if you get paid $4OO each Friday, you would write $4OO in each Friday box on the calendar. Be sure to include all money you have com ing in each month. Don’t forget things like food stamps, child support, etc. Next using a pencil record the due dates and amounts of bills that can vary from month to month (flexible expenses). One of these expenses is probably food, another could be clothing or medical expenses. As you review your overall fin ancial picture, you may find that too many large payments are clustered in some months. In some cases, your insurance com pany or creditors may be willing to reschedule some of your pay ments to other dates so that you match your income and expenses better. Or, keep existing payment dates but rework your monthly spending plan and set aside ade quate amounts weekly for future quarterly or other periodic pay ments.
