The Pink Piggy Volume 2 Issue 2
'Cash for Clunkers' contains roadblocks :
If you want to trade in your junker for a new vehicle under the federal government's "Cash for Clunkers" program,
you'll have to act fast. The program expires Nov. 1 or when it runs out of money — and qualifying for the vouchers
isn't as simple as you might think. Does your clunker qualify? You qualify for the program only if the vehicle you plan on trading is drivable, is less than 25 years old, has adhered to state insurance laws and has been registered
under your name for at least one year. The vehicle also must have had a combined city/highway mileage of 18 miles
per gallon or less when new. Calculate the rebate's size If you meet the requirements, you'll get a $3,500 rebate if
the car you're buying gets 4 to 10 miles per gallon more than the one you trade in, and $4,500 if it's more than
10 mpg. The new car must get at least 22 combined miles per gallon to receive a voucher. (Trucks have a lower standard.) Is voucher worth it? Does the voucher give you the best deal for your tradein? Go to the Kelley Blue
Book site at tulsaworld.com/kelleybluebook and look up estimates of what your car would be worth if you traded it
in or sold it to a private party. The perfect "cash for clunkers" trade-in: a 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, which
Kelley Blue Book estimates is worth $700 to $2,130, depending on the car's condition. The voucher would give
you at least $1,400 more. Research your new car If all this still leaves you wanting to participate in "cash for
clunkers," your final step would be to do your homework on the new car you want to buy. Consider the options
you want and do plenty of comparison shopping to make sure you get the best deal. By KATHY KRISTOF Tribune

A checklist: Steps to easier relocation
1. Make a moving schedule: start 60 days before the move
2. Hire a quality moving company
3. Pare down your possessions
4. Pack like a pro so that all boxes end up in the rooms they should
5. Most movers won’t disconnect hard-wiring, so unplug everything
6. Change of address and notify companies before the move
7. Pack a ‘last to go’ box for all necessities
8. Clean the new place & set out your new floor plan before moving

Faith and Wisdom
Religion (I know, touchy subject to some) If you do not believe in religion then don't’, if you do—hold fast, if your not sure, try it, it’s not going to hurt you or be negative, it may just help you when you need it most
• Rely on your wisdom when you don’t know what to do (or rely on someone elses)
• “The greatest part of our happiness depends on our dispositions, not our circumstances”—
