Dave Says
(A key element in get
ting out of debt)
Dear Dave,
I’ve got about $3,000
in credit card debt.
Would it be a good idea
to transfer the balance
from my credit card to
another one that has a
much lower interest rate?
Tammi
Dear Tammi,
Lots of people who
find themselves in your
shoes
make the
switch to
low-interest
rate credit
cards. A
lower inter
est rate will
help you
save a little
money in
the short
term, but
the draw
back is it can also make
you feel like you’ve
addressed your problem
with debt when you real
ly haven’t. You’ve got to
change the behavior and
the mindset that put you
in that situation in the
first place. Besides, most
low-interest, or no-in
terest, credit card offers
are only good for a short
period of time. There’s
always a catch!
I discovered long ago
that personal finance is
only about 20 percent
head knowledge and
80 percent behavior.
Emotion is a key element
to getting out of debt
and staying out of debt.
You’ve got to get really
mad at debt, the impact
it has on your financial
life, and attack it with a
vengeance. Think about
how many times debt
has been a negative in
fluence on your life. My
guess is there were many
occasions in the past
when you could have
done great stuff—I’m
talking about meaning
ful, important things—if
you hadn’t had to send a
bunch of money to those
bozos at the credit card
company every month. I
want you to really think
about it.
How about this? First,
cut up your
credit card
and close
the account.
Then, sell
some stuff
and take a
part-time
job nights or
weekends for
just a little
while. You
could wipe
out all your
debt in less than a year
by doing that and start
ing to live on a strict,
written, monthly budget.
If you don’t get mad
about it and take a stand
against debt, and be
come determined you’re
never going to fall into
that trap again, you’re
liable to find yourself
back in the same situa
tion or worse!

Counseling Corner
Taking That Parent-Teen Disagreement Down A Level
Special to the Ledger
from the American
Counseling Association
If there’s a teen in
your home, odds are
overwhelming that there
have been parent-teen
disagreements, perhaps
even hot and heavy
fights. But it doesn’t
have to be that way.
Parents and their teens
disagreeing is a normal
part of the develop
mental process. Young
children easily accept
the black and white rules
we create for them (“No
snacks just before din
ner!”). But as our kids
grow up they begin to
learn that not everything
is an absolute and that
there are often shades of
gray or alternatives. The
result is that they will
increasingly question
and test us. It may be
frustrating for parents,
and often the fuel for
parent-teen arguments,
but it’s actually a
healthy, normal part of
becoming more mature.
While only time will
make that questioning
and testing disappear
(and even adulthood
may not stop it), there
are ways you can keep
the disagreements from
getting out of hand now.
A starting point is
simply accepting that
as your child grows he
or she will instinctively
question rules and deci
sions, and often want to

debate you. When you
can accept that this is
just naturally going to
take place as your ma
turing child seeks more
independence, it can
be easier to not let such
occurrences make you
angry and frustrated.
Instead, try to develop
techniques to avoid the
fights.
One key is taking a
non-aggressive attitude
in disagreements. If
your immediate re
sponse to your teen
questioning your judg
ment is one of anger and
zero compromise, you
can probably expect the
same back in response.
Instead, stay calm, use
a rational tone of voice
and make it clear you’re
willing to listen and
discuss. Setting that
example helps your
child understand that
you expect the same sort
of response from him or
her.
You’ll want to avoid
words and accusations
that put your child on an
angry defensive. You’ll
want to control your an
ger, and instead consider
options and compro
mises that both of you
can live with. When you
disagree with some
thing the teen has done
or wants to do, make it
very clear you’re disap
proving of the behavior
itself, not your child.
Questioning and
disagreeing is a regular
factor in growing up
and learning to be more
self-sufficient. When
disagreements occur,
understand why, stay
calm and non-combative
and you’ll avoid major
fights that end in hurt
feelings and distrust of
each other.
