I had family problems, and I just could not make it happen. What can I do now? -- Latasha P., e-mail Dear Latasha: I know this is hard, but you need to stop looking back. It's over and done with, and now you look to the future. The most important thing is that you pay your bills on time, all the time. I assume you are renting now, and that's not such a bad thing. Home- ownership is not the be-all and end-all, and it's certainly not right for everyone. I hope you are dili- gently building up your contin- gency fund and working on your freedom account, too. Money in the bank changes everything, including your attitude and out- look on life. You will own a home again, if that's what you want. I have confidence in you. Dear Mary: I logged on to AnnualCreditReport.com and requested a free credit report from TransUnion. I remember you once wrote that it is OK to give the com- pany my Social Security number, which I did. Then the company said I needed to call to give it more information. It asked me which credit cards I have and for their numbers. I refused to give it that information and was told it could not send my free report without the requested information. Is this how all credit report compa- nies work, and is it legal? -- Johanna, e-mail Dear Johanna: These companies have a fiduciary responsibility to pro- tect your identity and private information. They need more than your Social Security number to make sure you are who you say you are. Often, they will ask about recent transac- tions you've made or other identifying infor- mation that no one but you would know. If you want your credit report, you must comply by giving the company enough infor- mation for it to match you with the information in your file. Remem- ber that it manages millions of files. This protocol is to protect you. You would have reason to be concerned if this had come unso- licited, but you initiated the request. Don't worry. Your Marriage"? I think I will be resentful if we are pooling our money and my husband decides he wants to help pay for his child's college or buy a car for one of them (and vice versa). I love his kids very much, but I still would have resentment. -- Karen G., e- mail Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Dear Karen: Cancel the wedding for now. Second marriages (or third?) are difficult enough. Add the dynamic of teenagers from two different families, a youngster and a wife who comes into the situation already feeling suspicious and resentful over money and you have the recipe for a disaster. These kids deserve bet- ter than that. You'll have plenty of time to look after your happiness once all of these kids are grown and successfully on their own. Do you have a question for Dear Mary: I am getting remar- ried, and we both have kids from previous marriages, most of whom are 16 or older. (One is 6.) Do we still follow the same principles as the ones in your book "Debt-Proof Mary? E-mail her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2135, Paramount, CA 90723.

Storms limit access to Christmas trees Christmas tree cutters are being advised to prac- tice extra caution during their outings to the Lassen National Forest. Due to the recent snow storms that have blanketed the higher elevations, access to many Christmas tree cutting locations on the Forest are currently inaccessible. Historically, favorite tree cutting areas are at these higher elevations, where fir trees grow. However, these areas are now covered with two to three feet of fresh snow, making them impassable to most motor vehicles, including four-wheel drive vehicles. The Almanor Ranger District has reported the following areas are inac- cessible due to snow: • Butte County Road #91422 north from Butte Meadows. The road is plowed just past Butte Meadows. There are about three miles of unplowed road before the Forest Boundary. • Forest Road 10 (Plumas County Road 318) from Silver Lake south to the county trans- fer station on Hwy 32. This road has over three feet of snow in places and is not plowed. • Plumas County Road 312 north of Chester. This road has been plowed to the church only; the remainder of the road is impassable at this time. Areas on the Almanor that are in close proximity to plowed roads and cur- rently provide limited access include: Mineral Summit Snowmobile Park; McGowen Lake Parking area (no tree cut- ting north of McGowen Lake); and Swain Mt. Snowmobile Park (no tree cutting in the experimental forest). Since weather and road conditions may change at any time, it’s a good idea to check the weather fore- cast and road conditions before embarking on a trip to the Forest. Information on highway conditions may be obtained by calling 1-800-427-ROAD. ed areas, chains and/or four-wheel drive vehicles are advised. Sandbags used as extra weight in your vehicle may help to maintain traction and can be useful in the event you get stuck. Vehicles should be fully fueled and in top mechanical condition. Visitors are also asked to please consider snow shoes or snowmobiles, if available, for any Christ- mas tree cutting activity. Visitors are urged to pack a winter storm sur- vival kit. A good kit con- sists of a first aid kit, extra clothing and blankets, extra food and water, a fire starting mechanism and cooking pot, a cell phone or two-way radio, and a tool kit. Tool kits should contain jumper cables, a tow rope, a flashlight, and a shovel. Pre- planning should also include leaving a copy of your planned route and itinerary with a friend or neighbor.
