Column for June 11 - Jun 17

How is the economy affecting people? I believe that all of us need to make a change in our lifestyle by acknowledging our wants and needs. In this economy people have been put in situations that they were not prepared for. Now is the time to focus on making your life better financially, healthy and mentally. It has been said that to get yourself in the right place you should have money to cover six months worth of your bills. Start now living frugally for your future and for future generations.Here are some great ­offers:■ Suze Orman and Oprah want to help you with a financial action plan. http://www.oprah.com/article/money/personalfinance/20081119_tows_suzesteps■ Tombstone Pizza is helping you save up to $15 on your utility bills.http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/Products/pages/TombstonePayYourBills.aspx■ Cinemark has a Summer Movie Clubhouse.
