We have not saved any money for her college education. Her schooling will cost about $96,000 over four years, not counting travel and personal expenses. She is not eligible for any financial aid other than federal student loans because we make too much. We feel terrible about this and need to know the best way to fund our daughter's education. -- Lynda and Ben, email Dear Lynda and Ben: Your daughter can borrow up to $12,000 per year, or roughly half the cost, in unsubsidized non-need-based Stafford student loans at 6.9 per- cent fixed. The balance can be made up of non-need-based Parent PLUS loans. Currently, PLUS loans are fixed at 7.9 percent. If your daughter borrows the maximum in Stafford loans over the four years ($48,000), her pay- ments will be $553 a month for 10 years, for a total payback of $66,360. If you borrow the same amount in PLUS loans, your pay- ment will be $580 a month for 10 years, or a total payback of $69,581. That $96,000 technical skill will end up costing $136,000, not counting fees. If, out of parental guilt, you make her payments, as well as yours, you're looking at about $1,200 a month for a full decade. Those are the cold, hard facts. I promise that you cannot afford this, and neither can she. She needs to look at alternatives, such as staying at home and attending community college for two years and then transferring to a four-year state school. It's unfortunate that your daughter will not be able to skate through school on borrowed funds, but that's life. She'll get over it. Better that you deal with that disappointment now and not for the rest of your lives. The best gift you can give her is the assurance that the two of you will not become a financial burden to her when you reach old age. Start funding your own retirement accounts with the $1,200 a month instead of her edu- cation. In 10 years, you'll have $188,000, assuming a modest growth rate of 5 percent. That will be a great start. Dear Mary: How can I make my own flavored water that tastes sweet but does not contain caffeine or artificial sweeteners? -- Martha, email Dear Martha: You can Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate flavor your water with fresh or frozen fruits, veggies, extracts and even herbs. I grow mint in my garden (you'd think it were a weed the way it grows so fast), which is fantastic in water or iced tea. For sweetness, add some stevia, a natural sweetener available in most supermarkets and health food stores. Make a pitcher the night before so it can macerate, and then store it in the refrigerator. In the morning, pour it into your water bottle and you'll be good to go. Do you have a question for Mary? Email her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O.

"This summer the Mendocino National Forest has been very fortunate when it comes to wildland fire," said Acting Forest Supervisor Lee Johnson. "We would like Forest vis- itors to help us continue this by being safe when using fires in designated areas, complying with these fire restrictions and reporting smoke when they see it. By being aware we can all help protect the Forest's resources from human- caused wildfires." Temporary fire restrictions are put in place annually to protect natural resources and limit the threat of human- caused wildfires. Similar restrictions are going into effect on neighboring forests. However, restrictions can vary by for- est and visitors should check with the forest they plan on visiting for the latest fire restrictions and conditions. Violation of these fire restrictions is punishable by a fine of no more than $5,000 for an individual, $10,000 for an organization, or up to six months imprisonment or both. Fire season typically ends in late fall following a series of drenching, measurable rains in the mountains. An announcement will follow when fire restrictions are lifted.
