I'll go to the store and pick one that's soft yet gives the support I want, but within a few months it's flat. How in the world do I pick a pillow that will stay full? -- Kathy, Texas Dear Kathy: With pillows, like many things, you get what you pay for. A $5 pillow at Target will pro- vide comfort for a period of time, but you can bet it will go flat. Nat- ural-filled pillows such as pure down or down/feather blend are the most desirable but also the most expensive. Their durable nature and luxurious texture make them an investment that will provide you with years of comfort and resilien- cy. Down is the softest, while down/feather blends offer firm sup- port and durability. Synthetic pillows are machine washable and less expensive than down. Some feature polyester clus- ters that mimic the qualities of nat- ural down. You can refresh your synthetic pillow on your dryers' air fluff setting. This helps keep loft in the fiberfill and preserves its resiliency. High quality pillows are not cheap; however, I've found the best deals on pillows at Costco. Expect to pay at least $20 for a high-quality, hypoallergenic down- alternative pillow with at least a 300-three count cotton damask cover. That's not a bad investment when you consider you spend one-third of your life sleeping. Dear Mary: Several years ago, I cosigned stu- dent loans for my nephew. He has been out of college and married for five years now. He and his wife recently filed for bankruptcy. I have been paying off his student loans. There are four loans, and the col- lective balance is just over $5,000. The month- ly payment is about $100. I can afford to pay them off in full, but am hesitant to take the money out of my savings. However, I'm thinking of retiring in the near future and I really don't want this monthly debt. Would I be better off making the monthly payments, or paying the loans in full? -- Terry, Minnesota Dear Terry: To answer your spe- cific question, yes pay those loans now. In full. Then repay your sav- ings account the $100 a month plus as much additional as you can. At least this way you are earning inter- est, not paying it. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate too.

The stolen car is a white While you didn't ask, I will add that I do not understand how you let your nephew off the hook on this one. Federally guaranteed stu- dent loans are not dis- chargeable through bank- ruptcy. It was kind perhaps for you to accept the oblig- ation, but since he's been relieved of other debt obligations, it seems to me he should be able to pay you back. Approach him with a payment schedule that both of you can live with, and then make it clear that you expect him to stick to it until you are com- pletely repaid. That will be good for him and for you, tures on The Snow Geese of Wrangel Island, the nest- ing grounds for the popula- tion of snow geese that winter in the area.
