HAVE YOU SEEN THE DARK SIDE? Recently, a group of parents attended a presentation by Blaine County Undersheriff Frank Billmayer on the topic of Internet Safety for Children. Seems straightforward enough, right? To say the least, those who attended this presentation came away with a much broader (and more frightening) understanding of the dangers to adolescents and teens in our society, even in the most rural locales of Montana. Undersheriff Billmayer, being an active part of the Montana Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (www.mticac.org) has graciously offered to share short segments of his insight into this new and highly dangerous type of crime against our kids. Honestly, it’s must worse than most parents imagine. Visit the website to learn more, or contact the organization to schedule a presentation in your school or community. Parents and kids both need to be aware of the dangers.

Top Five Rules to Keeping Your Kids Safe Online: 1. Be a parent. 2. Talk to your children about who they befriend. (Be a parent) 3. Look at your children’s online profiles. (Be a parent) 4. Talk to your children about their online gaming. (Be a parent) 5. Show an interest in your child’s online interests. Talk with your child. (Be a parent)

Grain markets were generally quiet for the week, trading in a narrow range on a mixture of fundamental news. Wheat was initially supported by more fund short covering, but lost its gains when Russia announced they would likely decrease the wheat export tax while increasing the tax on corn, barley and fertilizer. Weather is mostly benign for wheat with most Northern Hemisphere production regions having adequate snow cover. That said, warmer temps are coming to the Black Sea region and many of the wheat areas are forecast to lose much of their cover. Corn prices found some support as a dry pocket in Argentina grew and also on improving crude oil prices. Soybeans were supported by continued buying from China despite the Brazilian harvest expanding. On the bearish side, soybean production estimates are growing for Brazil as yields come in better than expected. Second crop corn planting in Brazil is going well with very good moisture conditions available, pushing yield expectations higher. The cattle complex was sharply higher as cash markets held steady despite weaker boxed beef prices.

DAVE SAYS:

Cattle with substanCe and quality, baCked by people with integrity

Who Is Dave Ramsey? Dave Ramsey is a personal money management expert, popular national radio personality and the author of three New York Times bestsellers – The Total Money Makeover, Financial Peace Revisited and More Than Enough. In them, Ramsey exemplifies his life’s work of teaching others how to be financially responsible, so they can acquire enough wealth to take care of loved ones, live prosperously into old age, and give generously to others.

Looking for LiveAuction’s

DEAR DAVE, My husband was laid off a month ago from a job making $80,000 a year. We have no debt except our house payment. We owe about $82,000 on it, but it’s valued at approximately $300,000. We’ve also got an emergency fund of $30,000, and I work part-time making about $2,000 a month while he collects unemployment and looks for another job. Do you think we should sell our home? We’ve also got a boat that’s worth about $18,000 we could sell. ~Sheila Dear Sheila, The first thing I want you to do is take a step back and breathe. Yes, you guys just hit a big bump in the road. But the good news is you’re in pretty good shape financially to handle things for a while. At this point, I’d strongly recommend selling the boat over selling the house. Boats are a lot easier to replace than nice homes, and the process isn’t nearly as traumatic on the family. You can also dip into your emergency fund a little bit, but for the next little while you need to make sure you’re living on a really tight, bare bones budget. I’d love to see you not have to touch the emergency fund, because he’s gone out and found at least a part-time position while he’s searching for something in his field. I know that’s tough to do once you’ve gotten used to making $80,000, but there are jobs out there that will help you guys get through this. As long as he’s being diligent in seeking a new job, and you’re budgeting and watching what you spend together, I think for now you should keep the house. God bless you both! ~Dave DEAR DAVE, Do you recommend having people keep their W2 numbers as close to their tax return numbers as possible, even if they might have to pay at the end of the year or have more taken out? Every year I get a big tax return. But after listening to you I began to think that if I did a better job of planning I would have more money throughout the year. ~Charlie Dear Charlie, I like your thinking, and you’re absolutely right. That’s exactly what I recommend people do when it comes to their income taxes. Of course, you don’t want to have to pay out a big chunk of cash. But a little number crunching and planning ahead of time can help you avoid those kinds of situations. You really don’t want a big refund, and here’s why. If you get a fat tax refund every year, all it means is you’ve loaned money to the government interest-free for the entire year. Then, at the end of the year they gave it back to you. Some people seem to think Santa Claus has shown up when this happens, and that’s completely wrong. You’ve had too much taken out of your check every payday during the previous year, and then you got it back. Try to adjust your W2 so that you are hitting within $100 or so at the end of the year. Then you’ll have more of your own money in your own pocket throughout the entire year! ~Dave * Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business. He has authored five New York Times best-selling books: Financial Peace, More Than Enough, The Total Money Makeover, EntreLeadership and Smart Money Smart Kids. His newest best-seller, Smart Money Smart Kids, was written with his daughter Rachel Cruze, and recently debuted at #1. The Dave Ramsey Show is heard by more than 8 million listeners each week on more than 500 radio stations. Follow Dave on Twitter at @DaveRamsey and on the web at daveramsey.com.
