The results were nothing short of fascinating. All of this got me thinking: What fascinating response would we get if we changed the word wind- fall to expense -- as in, "How will you respond if tomorrow you get clobbered with an unexpected expense of $10,000?" How we respond to financial challenges says a lot about our character. We can take cover and hide behind fear and denial, or we can bite the bullet, face the problem head-on and do what we have to do. bullet when they sold their house and possessions, and lived in their car for two years so they could pay off their debts. I don't recall exact- ly how they worked this out -- small details like showers and run- ning water escape me. However, their delight with having done such a difficult yet noble thing to get their lives back on track was com- pelling. I read about a couple who bit the were living the high life in big- bucks south Orange County, when they ran headlong into a severe economic downturn. Rather than Another couple, Ray and Liz, rely on credit to keep up their wealthy image, they decided to bite the bullet. They sold their semi-mansion with its high-four-figure monthly payment in favor of a modest three- bedroom condo- minium in another community. As humiliat- ing as it seemed at the time, the experience transformed their lives in such positive ways, they've made this down- grade permanent. A New Jersey family made the agonizing decision to bite the bullet for an entire school year. They moved their kids from a pricey private school to public schools so they could pull them- selves from a financial hole. Difficult? At first. But as they look back now, they see benefits they'd never anticipated. They made sacrifices in terms of time and convenience because they had to deal with three different schools, where before it was only one. The very things they feared in the public school system turned out to improve their children's educa- tion immeasurably. Now debt-free, they've decided to stick with the cy will host two free pub- lic hikes on a breathtaking preserve in the Red Bluff area. These hikes have been rescheduled and the following information is up to date. The 37,540-acre Dye Creek Preserve, is near Los Molinos. Because the preserve is a working cat- tle ranch, the Conservan- cy's semi-annual tours provide the public with an opportunity to view some of the region's most spec- tacular landscapes with knowledgeable and enter- taining guides, providing insight on many cultural, geological and biological points of interest. All events are held rain or shine, with the excep- tion of a serious down- pour. Sturdy footwear/hiking boots are a requirement.

Dye Creek Canyon – 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 13 and Nov. 10 public schools. I chose to bite the bullet the day I sold my car to become a ride- sharing passenger. Believe me when I say this was painful. But the financial impact of no car payment, no insurance, no maintenance and no annual registration eased the pain considerably. For some, biting the Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate bullet means canceling cable TV, brown-bagging to work or opting for do-it- yourself manicures. It might mean cutting up the credit cards, and firing the lawn guy and cleaning ser- vice. Or all of the above. When financial problems how distasteful, just bite the bullet!
