If we do this, we lose the tax benefit of the mortgage interest, which reduces our AGI (adjusted gross income) and pushes us into a higher tax bracket. One way to avoid this would be to purchase a second home, get a mortgage and rent out the house. We've heard that the rental market is good in our area. What do you think of our idea? -- Alex, Texas Dear Alex: My advice depends a lot on your age. If you are nearing retirement, I recommend you bite that tax bullet and pay off the mort- gage. That will assure you a rent- free retirement -- a gift you'll never regret having given to yourself. If you are not ready to do that, your idea of buying a second prop- erty may be a good one. But first you need to speak with a competent tax professional who can look at your entire financial situation and advise you accordingly. Once you rent out a second property it becomes an investment and that is treated much differently than a sec- ond residence or vacation home when it comes to tax reporting. Expenses on income property, which include but are not nec- essarily limited to interest and depreciation, offset the rental income resulting in either a net profit or net loss. Dear Mary: I read your columns and emails faithfully and admire you for being able to get your own debt under control. However, I struggle with how a young family with huge permanent medical bills for two children can ever become debt-free. How can we do this? -- Gail, email lot of the cost. A group plan through an employer will offer the best option there. Mary Hunt Dear Gail: I am at such a disadvantage here because I have no idea what these "huge perma- nent medical bills" mean for your two children. If your chil- dren are disabled, you need to seek out the benefits that are available to you through the Social Security Administration (www.SSA.gov/kids). If your kids are just sick all the time and it feels like their medical bills will be per- manent, you need to find good health insurance that will shoulder a Everyday Cheapskate situation as a license to fall deeply into debt is a choice you have but one I hope you will not make.

Reading Fire impacts public meeting The Hat Creek Ranger District of the Lassen National Forest will host a public meeting and field tour to review the impacts of the Reading Fire on public lands within the Forest boundaries. The event is planned for 10 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 4 at the Hat Creek Work Center. Following the public meeting, a field tour of the Reading Fire area will give participants the opportunity to view first- hand some of the impacts of the fire. The meeting at the center will take place even if weather or field conditions do not allow for the tour portion, set to run noon to 4 p.m. The Hat Creek Work Center is on Highway 89, about 10 miles south of the junction with High- way 299. Representatives of the Hat Creek Ranger District will be available to dis- cuss potential treatment activities, such as refor- estation and restoration efforts through the removal or cutting of fire- killed or fire-injured trees, and planting of seedlings. Some travel will occur on gravel or unpaved roads so SUVs or high- clearance vehicles will be necessary, and carpooling is encouraged to keep the number of vehicles to a minimum. Participants should dress in layers for cold weather, bring water and lunch, and wear foot gear for walking on uneven terrain. Please let District per- sonnel know that you will be attending this meeting by calling Mary Price at 530-336-5521 or sending an email to mpprice@fs.fed.us. When you RSVP for the meet- ing, please leave contact information in case there is a weather-related can- cellation.
