What do you do when it's your 62-year-old mother who has the money problem? My mom has a job and makes enough money to support herself. In 2003, she bought a house for $95,000. She had little debt at the time. Since then, she's refinanced her home twice, and she now owes $127,000 on top of extensive credit card debt. Recently, she called me saying she was $3,000 in the red. My husband and I sent her the money. That wasn't the first time we bailed her out. My brother and I are at our wits' ends. She is hanging on by a thread. I can't make her get a roommate, make her get a second job or take away her check- book. What do you do with a person who cannot make good financial deci- sions? We don't want her to be home- less and live in her car, but we don't want her to move in with us, either. Please help! -- Anonymous, Idaho Dear Anon.: You are in a difficult situation. Giving her money is about the worst thing you can do. That only exacerbates the problem. You already have discovered that you cannot con- trol her. If she will not agree to see a qualified family counselor with you and your brother, the two of you should speak with someone who will help you lay down ground rules. Then you both need to become united on how you will respond to her in the future. It's not going to be easy. I think your situation will be like the ones of those parents you've read about who have grown children searching for bailouts. You're going to need to exercise tough love with your mom. In the future, if she is truly in need of food, she has the electricity turned off or her personal safety is at risk, do not give her the money directly. That would be like hand- ing a bottle of whiskey to an alcoholic. Instead, pay the bill or supply the meal yourself. Dear Mary: I make my own win- dow cleaner and laundry detergent. I would like to make all my cleaners -- pump hand soap, shampoo, toilet bowl cleaner, dishwashing powder, dish liquid, general-purpose cleaner for walls, scouring powder, all of it! Is there one book or Web site that has it all? -- Cathy S., Texas Dear Cathy: I've replicated all of the products you mention with home- made alternatives, some with great results. I have concluded that there are a few items that cannot be made at home suc- cessfully, e.g., shampoo and automatic dishwashing detergent. I have created a booklet, "Cheapskate Solu- tions," with dozens of recipes for homemade alter- natives that do work, includ- ing recipes for all-purpose cleaners, toilet bowl cleaners and hand soap. Send $6, which includes shipping and handling, to "Cheapskate Solutions," P.O. Box 2135, Paramount, CA 90723, to receive a copy by mail. Do you have a question for Mary? E-mail her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2135, Paramount, CA 90723. Mary Hunt is the founder of www.DebtProofLiving.com and author of 18 books, including "Can I Pay My Credit Card Bill With a Credit Card?"

President Shelly Treat challenged each member to contribute $2 and the balance of the collection would be donated to the Red Bluff Salvation Army and the Corning Christian Assistance. The member- ship donated $660 to the Salvation Army and $440 to Corning Christian Assistance. Continuing in the spirit of giving, members kicked off their annual Christmas Ball at Rolling Hills Casino with a slot tournament. Tiffany Eng- land was the big winner, with half of the monies collected in the tourna- ment going to the charity of her choice. Realtor members gave big that night with a toy drive. Toys were collected and disbursed to the Red Bluff Chapter of Toys for Tots and the Corning Vol- unteer Fire Department so they could be distributed to local children. Several members were honored with The Circle of Excellence award, which recognizes Real- tors for their contributions in the local communities and to the association. This year's recipients were Judy Garstang, Pre- ferred Agents; Diane Gip- son, Gipson Realty; Janet Darrow, Rainbow Realty; David LaPierre, Coldwell Banker C&C Properties; Kam Lalaguna, Round-up Realty; Lesli Winstead Coldwell Banker C&C Properties; Selena Smith, Coldwell Banker C&C Properties; Terri Jamison, Jamison Properties; and Pam Ness, Coldwell Banker C&C Properties. Realtor of the Year 2008 recipient, Elsa Mar- tinez de Bautista of Unit- ed Country Allegiance Real Estate, presented the 2009 Realtor of the Year Award to Vici Miranda of Re/Max Top Properties. Miranda is a director on the Tehama County Association of Realtors Board and sits on numer- ous committees. She is the vice president of Soroptimist Internation- al of Red Bluff, which is an organization for pro- fessional business women who strive to improve the lives of women and girls. The membership voted Annette Hurley of Placer Title Company as the Affiliate Member of the Year for 2009. Hurley has offered exemplary cus- tomer service and support to the association as a whole.
