Jackson St., Red Bluff One simple tip to make moving easier Having recently moved the Debt- Proof Living office to a beautiful new location about 10 miles away, I have a new apprecia- tion for everything a move entails. One simple tip from a clever reader made things a lot easier. Check it out, and keep it in mind if you see a move in your future. COLOR-CODED MOVE. While packing up our possessions for a big move, I used multi-colored paper to identify our moving boxes. I assigned each room in the new place with a dif- ferent color, and used my computer and printer to make all the labels I needed and in just the right size. Our helpers commented on what a great idea it was because it made distribut- ing the boxes to the correct rooms quite easy. -- Brenda, Michigan FREE OFFICE SOFTWARE. There is a movement toward "Open Source" software. Not only is this kind of software free to use, it comes with the "insides" of the program the pro- grammers use to make it accessible to all (called the source code, hence the term "open source"). This allows other programmers to make improvements and changes. The grandpa of all these projects can be found at www.OpenOffice.org. This is a suite of office software very similar to Microsoft Office. It has clones for Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access. And it is free! -- Mark, Minnesota PRESCRIPTION FOR ORGANI- ZATION. I use my empty pre- scription bottles to organize and store everything from birthday candles to small screws, paperclips and other small stuff. I have the best- organized junk drawer around. -- Tammy, Florida FREE PREPARED- NESS BOOK. FEMA offers a free book, "Are You Ready? An In-depth Guide to Citizen Prepared- ness," that will help you prepare for any natural or manmade disaster. This comprehensive source to see if you qualify for a rate reduc- tion. If you live in a large city and your child goes to a college in a smaller city, your insurance should go down. I reduced my annual pre- mium by $360 when my son went to a small college with his car. -- Linda, Min- nesota offers a step-by-step approach to disaster pre- paredness. It walks the reader through how to get informed about local emer- gency plans, how to identi- fy hazards that affect their local area, and how to develop and maintain an emergency communications plan and create a disaster supply kit.

If your kids go away to college, either with or without a car, check with your insurance agent Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate EXPIRED BUT STILL USEFUL. I was carjacked a couple months ago and lost my car, wallet and photo ID. When I went to the bank to close my accounts, I was sur- prised to find out that I could- n't close my accounts without a picture ID, even though I had my birth certificate and Social Security card. I was extremely fortunate to have an old, albeit expired, driver's license at home. It came in very handy. -- Leilan, Michi- gan Would you like to send a tip to Mary?
