Doing a dealer trade-in is the easiest option, but I know we could get more for it by selling it ourselves. What should we do? -- Dora, Texas Dear Dora: The difference between the amount a dealer will give you on a trade-in (the wholesale value) and the retail value (selling it privately) can be as much as 20 percent. Let's say in your case the difference is $2,000. Even if it takes 20 hours of your time to get your ready to sell, list and show -- that's $100 an hour tax- free money for the hassle. Something to consider, for sure. Visit the Kelley Blue Book website (www.kbb.com) to calculate both the retail and trade-in values for your specific area. Be sure to read their articles on selling a car. This will give you the information and confidence you need to make the best decision. I keep the statement "just in case." I've been doing this for years and now have a huge stack, including pay stubs. Dear Mary: Whenever I pay a bill, The tenth annual Recovery Hap- pens celebration is set for 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 15, at Red Bluff River Park.

You can also confidently destroy statements for closed accounts, expired warranties and cancelled checks for items that are not proof of purchase. Remember that you'll want to shred everything. When can I toss these, and how should I do it? -- Tom, Illinois Dear Tom: Keep pay stubs for at least one year so you can reconcile them against both your W-2 Wage and Tax Statement and your Social Secu- rity Earnings Statement. If your records do not match theirs, you'll be happy to have your pay stubs to prove your with- holding. insurance in case any arrangements fall through. Is it really worth the expense? -- Kelly, Florida Dear Kelly: You need it, but "travel insurance" can be expensive and inad- equate. Read the fine print.
