the business of making dreams come true but their fulfilment requires lots of hard work For Mr iiighl consumer studies instructor at Niagara College in Welland Ont teaches people how to get them selves out of debt ind stay that way Most people dont know what fantastic feeling it is to pay off all their bills and owe noth ing to anyone he says if they did they might be more willing to follow the system he has dc isCtl to do just that To get out of debt family really has to want it and also has to be little scared said the 36yearold economist llis system is tottgli but if fol lowed faithfully he swears it nearly always works First the husband and wife have to sit down and divide all their expenses into two col umns There are the fixed ex pensesthings like rent or mo heating trans portation insurance and utilities nd then there arc the variable expciics like food clothing entertainment and dental bills START CUTTING HERE Its in the variable column that the cuts have to be made This is where the money comes from to pay off the outstanding bills Mr Wright said at least 20 per cent can be trimmed from the grocery bills by watching specials shopping carefully gardening canning preserving freezing baking and cooking Entertainment costs are re duced to zero by having friends over and finding things to do free If you cant do this then you dont really wan to get out of debt Mr Wright said Clothing costs are cut to zero and so are dental and drug hillsat lead the ones that can postponed And mis ccllaneous spending is elimr naicd After low lllllfll of regimen the family start accumulating this shoqu liltlc telephone lléllC Cinll which gig into sailngs account until it reaches Slobthe cuhion for emer drugs gency spendingand anything more than $200 goes to pay off loans BIGGEST ONES FIRST Mr Wright advises that loans with the highest interest rate be paid off first When the first loan is fully paid off the money for those payments plus the ex tra saved up goes to pay off the secondhighest loan and so on until all are paid off In the meantime if any unex pected clothing or food bills Lady customs inspector has seen strange things DElltOll tAlf Ann Bro

also is apparently no limit to the things people try to coitccal lr Broker said One woman who was searched had pet snake wrapped around her iastipposetlly to keep it warm 12 PRICE come up the money can be taken out of the $200 cushion At the beginning of the next month the money goes back into the cushion and bill pay ments are reduced accordingly so the $200 is always there Finally comes the unbeliev ably lovely moment when the family can say My God weve done itwe dont owe anything to anyone When that moment arrives and everyone has worked so hard to get there Mr Wright said they are probably hooked on saving and will never go back into debt TRASH WRITTEN CALGARY ICPi Univer sity of Calgary English profes sor says science fiction writings include some of the worst trash ever
