Raising children while working at home Younger people who work from home while also watching over their children often face some unusual difficulties. DEAR DAVE: Over the past few months, you have been writing about how “millions of baby boomers” have been stuck home-schooling or simply taking care of their kids since the COVID-19 virus hit while also trying to keep their regular jobs. But how come you never mention the problems that millennials like me are having when it comes to child care? I am a single mom and work from home in a three-bedroom apartment that I share with three other women, and their patience with my 2-year-old’s noise and smelly poops has worn so thin that they have suggested that I move out! ANSWER: You’re right. Perhaps I’ve spent too much time dwelling on the plight of baby boomers with stayat-home kids because I’m a boomer myself. Although both of my own kids left the nest a long time ago. In fact, millennials (ages 24 to 39) often face some unique problems when trying to take care of their kids in their home while also holding down a paying job. Often times, their place

just isn’t big enough to provide space for an infant or rambunctious toddler while also allowing workspace for themselves. Younger people often live far away from their immediate family, which can make leaving their offspring with their siblings, parents or grandparents nearly impossible. And, as you are already aware, any roommates that young parents might have don’t always take kindly to the presence of little kiddos either. Some recent surveys also found that many younger parents don’t want to leave their traditional workplace because they’re worried that they won’t be “in the loop” for possible job promotions within the company or won’t have the opportunity to learn from the experience of older co-workers. Fortunately, several municipalities, states and nonprofit groups are now offering free or lowcost child care and even pupil tutoring during the pandemic. Your local elected representative or congressperson should be able to point you in the right direction. In addition, the recently approved Families First Coronavirus Response Act, or FFCRA, requires many employers to provide

ABOUT REAL ESTATE David Myers employees with paid sick leave or expanded family and medical leave for specified reasons related to COVID-19. Some offer in-home help with child care, while others provide their services at community centers. Your congressional representative can provide details about the FFCRA, or you can learn more about it by visiting the Labor Department’s internet website at www. dol.gov. ••• REAL ESTATE TRIVIA: Social networking giant Twitter recently said that it will allow most of its roughly 4,000 employees to

work from home “forever,” even after the COVID-19 pandemic is over. ••• DEAR DAVE: Does the IRS still allow married couples to keep up to $500,000 of their home resale profit tax-free, or was that rule abolished when Congress overhauled the tax code a couple of years ago? ANSWER: Current tax law still allows married couples who file their federal taxes jointly to keep up to $500,000 of their home sale profit-free of taxation, provided that the home had been their primary residence for a total

of at least two of the five years before the date of the sale. That same twoout-of-five rule applies to single tax filers, though their exclusion is capped at $250,000. Get your free copy of IRS Publication 523, Selling Your Home, for details and worksheets by downloading it from www.irs.gov or by calling the agency at 800-829-3676. It wouldn’t hurt to consult with an accountant or similar tax professional, either. ••• DEAR DAVE: We agreed to buy a house in mid-August and to close the deal on Friday, Sept. 18. However, we have now been notified by our sales agent that the sale cannot close until

two or three weeks later because “appraisers are backed up with work and are under-staffed.” Is this true, or is it just a stalling tactic by the seller? ANSWER: Your sales agent is likely telling the truth. In normal real estate times, appraisers can usually be called out within a week or so. But these aren’t usual times. Sales are up sharply from a year ago, and historic low mortgage rates have pushed home-refinancing rates to an all-time high. In short, just about any urban or suburban appraiser worth his or her salt is backlogged with work. In some of the nation’s hottest markets, real estate agents report that it can take more than

four or five weeks to merely schedule an appraisal, and then several more weeks for the appraiser to do the follow-up work. ••• Our booklet, “Straight Talk about Living Trusts,” explains how even lowand middle-income homeowners can now reap the same benefits that creating an inexpensive trust once provided only to the wealthiest families. For a copy, send $4 and a self-addressed, stamped envelope to D. Myers/Trust, P.O. Box 4405, Culver City, CA 902314405. Net proceeds will be donated to the American Red Cross. Send questions to that same address, and we’ll try to respond in a future column.

Home Grown

Stillwater NewsPress • Thursday, September 10, 2020

It is the season to begin seeing small mounds of soil appearing in your lawn, sometimes with very large insects close by. The typical report is multiple mounds two to four inches in diameter, sometimes with a hole in the center but sometimes without. Given the splash of attention to “murder hornets” a few months ago, it might be worthwhile to note that, no, these are NOT murder hornets. There are a couple of insects that can create this type of soil activity but the most common cause in the fall is the cicada killer. This very large wasp (about an inch and a half long), while quite intimidating at first glance, is usually benign and harmless. Even though the female cicada killer can sting people, it generally only does so when provoked. The male of this species is more aggressive, but it lacks the capacity to sting. As the name indicates, cicada killers do kill and feed on cicadas. The mounds are created from the soil removed to create a burrow the insect uses as a home to lay its eggs. The dead cicada is placed in the burrow to provide a food source for the newly hatching wasp larvae. Under most circumstances, control of these insects is not

college towns. The Census Bureau says college students should be counted where they would have been on April 1 – at school – if not for the outbreak. The undercount problem involves only students living off campus in non-university housing; the Census Bureau relies on records supplied by colleges to count students living in dorms or university apartments. Still, off-campus students make up about 4 million of the 19 million college students in the U.S., according to Dudley Poston, a demographer at Texas A&M University. “College students overwhelm the demography of places with large universities,” Poston said. “This could be a costly setback for university towns.” In State College, Pennsylvania, home to Penn State University, the percentage of students who

answered the 2020 census either online, by mail or by phone in a downtown neighborhood populated with apartments for thousands of off-campus students was 25%, compared with 60% during the 2010 census, said Douglas Shontz, a city spokesman. “It’s going horribly,” Shontz said. With less than a month left until the census ends, the city has placed signs and banners all over downtown State College, encouraging students to answer the questionnaire that helps determine the distribution of $1.5 trillion in federal spending and how many congressional seats each state gets. The city also spent $5,000 mailing out postcard reminders about the census to students who returned for the fall semester to off-campus apartments or fraternity and sorority houses. In Athens, Ohio,

home to Ohio University, the mayor estimates each student missed accounts for at least $1,400 a year in lost funding for the community. If last spring’s graduating class of 3,500 students isn’t counted, that could translate into $49 million in lost federal funding over the decade, said Mayor Steve Patterson. The question of where to count off-campus college students in any oncea-decade census can be confusing enough, with parents often incorrectly thinking their college-age children should be tallied with them when they should be counted where the students do most of their sleeping. After college students began moving back home because of the outbreak, the Census Bureau had to shelve plans to send door-knockers to neighborhoods around campuses starting in April. Now that the dis-

ruption has extended into the fall, hopes of finding and counting students before the census is completed have dwindled further. Some college towns are considering drastic measures, like asking for another count of their communities, but the cities would have to foot the bill for a “special census,” which could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Ames, Iowa, home to Iowa State University, has 67,000 residents. Officials are worried that if the 2020 census misses the more than 15,000 students who live off-campus, it could put the city’s population count below

50,000. Dipping below that threshold would cost Ames millions of dollars in federal funding annually for low-to-middle-income housing and transportation projects, making a special census more appealing, said Gloria Betcher, a professor who sits on the city council. “From our perspective, this is like watching an accident in the long term,” Betcher said. “We are watching these cars approaching each other and seeing that they’re going to crash. It’s not surprising to us, but it is surprising that nothing is being done to stop the accident.”

Home holiday decorating ideas The holidays often involve purchasing gifts for close friends and loved ones as well as making a delicious meal the entire family will love. But nothing sets the holiday scene and overall mood more so than beautiful decorations and other seasonal accoutrements. Many people leave no room untouched for the holidays, meaning color schemes or trinkets may carry through from top to bottom. Decking the halls this season can be made even easier with some of these handy ideas.

Holiday timeline If you keep holiday photo cards each year, put them in chronological

order and hang them from a piece of garland from the mantel or drape on a staircase banister. This can be a fun way to see how your own children or other members of the family have grown.

Mini evergreen displays Clip your favorite pieces of evergreen and push the stems into floral foam. Display in small vases or other containers and place in groupings to emulate an evergreen forest.

says. “If you can afford your payment but you don’t have anything left over, it might not be the right thing to do,” she says. Your budget accounts for necessities like housing payments, groceries and insurance; factors in discretionary expenses like cable or ordering takeout; and leaves room for savings and debt repayment. (The 50/30/20 budget, which divvies up spending into those three buckets, can help you get started.) Don’t assume your salary will stay the same if your employer allows you to relocate, says Lazetta Rainey Braxton, a certified financial planner and co-CEO at 2050 Wealth Partners, a virtual financial planning firm. You may find your pay adjusted down if you move

from an expensive area to a cheaper one. Check with your employer before making plans. Even if your employer lets you relocate now, some companies aren’t sure what their plans are after the pandemic is over, says Rainey Braxton. Have a conversation with your employer to know whether you’d be expected to move back eventually and if you’d have to pay for moving costs in that situation, she says. FACTOR IN OTHER COSTS Moving isn’t cheap. Use your budget to figure out if you have the funds to get to a new place without piling up too much debt. And have a plan to build back your savings once you move. Ideally, you want to keep monthly housing costs in your new

location below 28% of your gross income, leaving you enough room in your budget to build up savings. An emergency fund of even $500, if you can afford it, will help you deal with surprise expenses and keep you from accruing more debt. Also, be prepared to adjust your budget to account for your new financial situation. You may be able to save on travel and child care costs if you move closer to family and friends. But you may also have new expenses, such as buying and insuring a car rather than using transit, says Luong. Moving to a different state affects other costs, such as how much you pay in taxes and your access to health insurance options. You can use a cost of living calculator

to get a sense of costs in the new location before you pack your bags. Long-term job security is also a factor in planning a move or buying a home. You can’t predict the future, but do

have a backup plan if you move to a city with fewer job prospects, Johannessen advises. Ask yourself what other jobs you could find in the new location if you were to lose your job after moving, she says.
