Meganumber: 15. Get the picture? A word picture is an incredibly powerful tool that takes a nebu- lous notion and turns it into a graphic display of who we are and what we can become. Take the terms "paycheck to paycheck," "debt-ridden" and "financial freedom." What do you see? Allow me to "draw" for you three word pictures. • Up the down escalator. I'm sure you've tried it -- probably when you were a kid -- walking up the down escalator. Visualize a woman doing that. At first she stumbles, but with a little practice she gets her steps in sync with the speed of the escalator. It moves one step down; she moves one step up. Down, up. She maintains a perfectly timed stride, and it looks as if she is climb- ing, but she makes no progress. So much energy to stay in exactly the same place. Living paycheck to pay- check is like going up the down esca- lator. You spend what you earn, no more and no less. Month after month you just keep up. But you have to be care- ful not to miss a step, and you know you can't take a rest -- ever. • Up the down escalator with bag- gage. Now visualize a man on the escalator carrying baggage -- lots of heavy baggage. He can't see his feet for all the gear, most of which he keeps dropping. In his attempt to recover, he keeps finding him- self at the bottom. Eventually, he gets everything back under control, at which time the challenge begins all over again. Remaining upright becomes this guy's impos- sible dream. He's an exhausted, beat-up, pitiful sight. He is debt-ridden. It's not an enjoyable way to exist. It can, in fact, fill your life with all kinds of misery. keep walking. Without increased effort, you are nearly propelled to your destination -- and in record time. If you choose to slow down -- or even stop for a rest -- that's OK. You don't lose momentum, slip back or lose ground. You just move to the right, set your bags down and enjoy a somewhat slower but nonetheless enjoyable ride. Mary Hunt • The moving sidewalk. Picture yourself carrying two small bags, making your way through a crowded airport. Not far ahead you see one of those moving sidewalks. You step on, and without changing a thing, you suddenly feel as if you are flying. You even feel a little taller. Your regular steps become the equivalent of several of your unaided strides. How cool is that? You just Everyday Cheapskate Financial freedom is the satisfying result of debt- proof living -- that condition in which you spend less than you earn; you give, save and invest confidently and con- sistently. You shun unse- cured debt. You anticipate irregular expenses. You scrutinize your purchases, and you follow a specific plan. Debt-proof living is like traveling on a moving sidewalk. It is not about deprivation, guilt or fear; it's about sound choices and effective decisions. It's a disciplined lifestyle that brings peace and joy. Debt-proof living makes the jour- ney exhilarating, so you can enjoy the spectacular view! Young professionals swing into spring The young professionals of Next Tehama are getting into the swing of spring with a golf clinic at Sevillano Links May 4. Free access to the driving range, putting and chipping greens along with complimentary 10 minute lessons will be available to the group. This is part of the monthly series of social networking activities that Next Tehama provides. Activities begin at 5:30 p.m. A no-host bar and appetizers will be available in the clubhouse. More information about Next Tehama is available from Amanda Wigno at awigno@ncen.org or on the Next Tehama Facebook page. Next Tehama creates fun social networking activities on a monthly basis that are designed to connect young professionals to each other and their community. The group does not have dues, boring speeches or a defined age limit. Both young and professional are defined by spirit and attitude. The group engages a sense of community pride and development through creative thinking with projects such as the College Logo T-shirt Project, which aims to provide every eighth-grader in the county with a new college logo T-shirt as a tool to envision the possibilities of higher education. Participants in the May event are encouraged to bring a new college logo T-shirt to contribute to the efforts. CalFire residential burn permits required The Tehama-Glenn Unit of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire) and the Tehama County Fire Depart- ment (TCFD) want to remind everyone that burn permits are required starting Sunday in the unincorporated areas of Tehama County, except in the Capay Fire District. In addition, burn permits are required within the State Responsi- bility Areas (SRA) of Glenn Coun- ty. Residents should check with their local fire officials for burning restrictions in Corning and Red Bluff City limits or if they live in portions of Glenn County that are not in the SRA. Mineral and Mill Creek residences are allowed to burn until June 30 with a valid per- mit. Burn hours are 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. in Tehama County. Residen- tial debris burns must be complete- ly out by 5 p.m. In Glenn County burn hours are 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Burn permits are for vegetation burning only. Burning of trash and the use of burn barrels is not allowed. All burn permits are issued annually and may be obtained from your local CAL FIRE fire station. Permits are issued free of charge. For burn day information in Tehama County call the Air Pollu- tion Control District at 527-3717. For residents in Glenn County call (800) 446-2876. As a reminder, always have a minimum 10 foot clearance to bare mineral soil around all burn piles, have a shovel and a water source available, and an adult present during burning.
