Old age, archaic Cozy up to the table this winter with family game night (BPT) - Feeling dis connected from mem bers of your own family lately? You’re not alone - a 2018 study by 72 Point for Visit Anaheim found that 60% of parents with kids between 4 and 18 described their daily lives as “hectic.” Sadly, the survey also found that today’s families only spend about 37 minutes of quality time together per weekday. Between digital dis tractions and our often over-scheduled lives, even sitting down for dinner together can feel like a miracle to pull off, especially as children head toward the tween and teen years. What’s a solution? Gather around the table. Set aside the gadgets and gather around the table together for a good old-fashioned family game night. Even if you start out with a month ly game night with the kids, chances are it will soon be popular enough to enjoy more often. Put ting your family’s game night on the calendar will ensure everyone keeps their schedules clear for a night of fun - and connection - all together. Today’s games provide a huge range of choices to suit any age range, in terests or gaming styles, so there’s truly some thing for every family to explore and enjoy together. The added ben efits will astound you: Kids can learn important lessons about sports manship and fair play, develop communication and collaboration skills, increase their fine motor, logic and strategic think ing abilities - and have a blast doing it. When was the last time you all just let loose and enjoyed laughing and being silly together? There’s no better way for kids and parents to relax and have fun together than a game that brings out the best in everyone. Here are some exam ples of how games can boost specific skills, while also providing plenty of giggles and excitement. Test your knowledge, quick thinking and creativity A game that’s always up-to-date, kNOW! uses the latest technology to help test the brain power of three to six players, ages 10 and up. Games go way beyond trivia - there are also puzzles such as identifying a sound provided by Goo gle Assistant, or creating a question to ask Google Assistant to prompt it to say a provided word or phrase. This fast-moving game provides constant ly changing questions depending on where and when you play. Enjoy the wicked side of strategy For a fun twist on ev eryone’s favorite movies, Disney Villainous: Evil Comes Prepared allows two to six players age 12 and up to choose a sinister character to play: Scar from “The Lion King,” Ratigan from “The Great Mouse Detective,” or Yzma from “The Emperor’s New Groove.” Players put strategy and logic to the test to achieve their own diabolical goals - and stop other villains from completing their own dastardly objec tives. Games like Disney Villainous are especially fun because they can be expanded and played with other characters in the series. Players can choose from a treasure trove of villains in cluding Maleficent, the Queen of Hearts, Ursula and more. Create suspense while working cooperatively JAWS brings the clas sic movie and infamous shark to life in your very own living room. In this asymmetric, two-act board game, one play er takes the role of the shark while others take on the parts of Chief Brody, Quint and Hoop er and work together to defeat their toothy foe. For two to four players ages 12 and up, play JAWS to recreate the excitement and tension of the blockbuster film as a family! Boost problem-solving and small motor skills A brain-bending game for all generations, Invasion of the Cow Snatchers is an ‘out of this world’ introduction to playing games at different levels of skill while challenging play- see Game Night, page 4C N O 3 a o s a H s n y O 1 N V o ' 1 a V 0 a 3 3 N 1 3 s M 3 a 3 1 V y d N O 1 N 3 y A ■ V 1 s n 0 n V d I a n v IAI y V d V 1 0 y 3 A N 3 a 3 0 H s 1 n 0 i 1 y O a V 1 0 O d s V 1 i V i 0 0 1 V d 1 V S d d V i IAI V a V s s V y V H V 9 i V IAJ V s y V s 1 ■ ' >1 S N 0 s i a V IAI ■ 3 A 3 1 1 3 a N i a a v 1 3 s n 1 d n 3 1 V A i a V l/M 3 3 o 0 a V i 1 o o M 0 a V r V H s Dave Says (Double for couples?) Dear Dave, Does the amount you advise saving for a be ginner emergency fund in Baby Step 1 double for a couple, or does it stay the same? Charlie Dear Charlie, Whether you’re single or mar ried, Baby Step 1 of my plan is to save $1,000 as quickly as pos sible for a starter emergen cy fund. This may not sound like a lot of cash to have on- hand in the event of an emergency, but you need to remember the $1,000 figure is a tempo rary thing. Baby Step 1 is saving up $1,000 for a beginner emergency fund. Baby Step 2 is paying off all debt, except your home. The vast majority of folks working my plan are debt-free, except for their mortgage, in two years or less. Then, you move to Baby Step 3, which is increasing your emergency fund from $1,000 to three-to-six months of household expenses. In reality, we’re talking about a pretty short period of time where you’d have just $1,000 in emergency savings. Plus, it serves as an exercise in financial discipline. A lot of people have noth ing saved before begin ning the Baby Steps. If that makes things seem a little scary at the start, it’s not nec essarily a bad thing. A healthy level of fear can be a fantastic motiva tor. I don’t want anyone constantly living their lives in fear, but that added push— that sense of urgency—can make you work harder to get out of debt, and move on the Baby Step 3, as quickly as possible! —Dave (Baby Step for weddings?) Dear Dave, We recently started fol lowing your plan, and it has made a huge dif ference in our financial outlook and our mar riage. When it comes to the Baby Steps, when do you recommend setting aside money for a wedding? We have a daughter, and we want to be able to do as much as possible for her when the time comes. Jim Dear Jim, That’s a good question. There’s not really a Baby Step specifically for weddings. In my mind, it should probably come after Baby Step 5—set ting aside a college fund for your kids. Maybe part of this is the dad in me, but in prioritizing these things See Dave, page 3C Dave Ramsey Happy Birthday To: November 21: Jewell Carr, Ryan Tindell, Kim Ralich, Brittney Mathis, Alexander Household er, Tammy Conley, Christy Wright, Charles Moore, Frances Knowles, Jade Arrington; November 22: Dayton Shelby Taylor, Dorothy Coutu, Steve Waldron, Kathy Delbridge, Bri an Gosa, Willie F.
