You might assume it's due to rising costs, tightening cred- it and the fact you haven't had a raise in, like, forever. But truthfully, if your basic needs are being met, prob- lems you're having are more likely a result of bad money habits you've picked up -- behaviors you've repeated so often they've become almost automatic. Don't despair. In the same way you picked them up, you can replace bad habits with good ones: Stop the old behavior, and con- sciously repeat the new one so often that it becomes an almost automatic response. Bad Habit: Living without a spending plan. Spending money without a plan has to be the mother of all bad money habits. It's like driving blindfolded. You don't know where you are and can't see where you're going, so you don't know when to stop. Pre-spending your paycheck on paper (also known as a budget) is the way to remove the blindfold so you can see what's going on. Bad Habit: Paying with plastic. Depending on plastic -- and I'm talking about both debit and credit cards -- to cover your day-to-day spending might be very convenient, Police reports The following infor- mation is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff 's Department, Corning Police Department and California Highway Patrol. Arrests • Geoffrey Brian Pomeroy, 33, was arrested and booked into Tehama County Jail Sat- urday on the charges of petty theft and battery with serious bodily injury. Bail was set at $2,000. Nothing further was available. • Ignacio Morfin Mendoza, 24, was arrested and booked into Tehama County Jail Sunday on the charges of parole violation: felony, escape or attempted escape with force and obstructing or resisting executive offi- cer. Bail was set at $18,000. Nothing fur- ther was available. Marijuana • Someone reported Friday evening seeing youths smoking mari- juana at the Kimball Crossing Apartments, 820 Kimball Road. Upon officer arrival, a 16-year-old boy was contacted and found to be in possession of mar- ijuana. He received a citation for possession of less than one ounce of marijuana and released to a parent. Prowlers • Someone reported at 3:55 a.m. Saturday that someone was trying to get into a bedroom window at the rear of a residence in the 1300 block of Third Street in Red Bluff. At 3:58 a.m., another person reported in the 1300 block of Monroe Street having an unknown person open- ing the screen door to a but it creates a bad habit. You stop noticing how much you're spending, and that opens the door to overspending. Break this habit by figuring out how much cash you'll need for the day, and put that much in your wallet. Leave your plastic at home, or put it in a less convenient place in your handbag or wallet. Bad Habit: Rolling a credit card balance. Credit card issuers know that once they can get you to cross the threshold where you owe more on your credit card than you can pay in a single month, they've got you where they want you -- paying them interest month after month. of the month to save. It might make sense to pay your Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate If you cannot pay the entire bal- ance in a single month, you need to get rid of that credit card. Cut it up (do not close the account or you could be looking at a big interest- rate increase). Start paying down the balance as rapidly as possible, ignoring the minimum monthly payment amount. Bad Habit: Waiting until the end residence and trying to open the front door of the residence. The person at the Monroe Street residence is described as a man wearing a red jacket and white beanie who left the area on foot, going north on Monroe Street. An area check was made, but no one was found. Thefts • Multiple cars were reported as having license plates or regis- tration stolen on Satur- day. Someone reported at 10:45 a.m. Saturday registration papers stolen from a 1999 Toy- ota, license 4HRZ909, in the 2500 block of Wildwood Avenue.

Someone reported at 7:47 p.m. Saturday that their vehicle had been broken into and the license plate, 6EKR396, was stolen from the 1600 block of Tanbark Drive.

It will lead to a very bad habit also known as no savings, because you will keep doing this same dumb thing month after month, year after year. To break this habit, pay yourself first before you pay any of your bills. In fact, treat yourself as your most important creditor. Make up payment coupons like you have for your car payment. Or set up an auto bill payment to "Myself." Now move "Myself" to the front of the line so that the very first bill you pay each month is to You! Even if it's only $25 -- or even $10 -- to start with, do it. Over and over again. Mary Hunt is the founder of www.DebtProofLiving.com, a personal finance member website.
