Correction
A Tribal Council sum
mary in the O ctober 2
ed itio n o f the Spilyay
stated that Tribal Coun
cil voted to shut down
the W arm Springs Forest

T his was n o t accurate:
T ribal C ouncil did n o t
vote to sh u t dow n the
mill. The Spilyay apolo-.

One percent savings a first step in budgeting

Muriel Suppah Memorial
“Pennies make dollars.”
T hat’s a 1 percent saying.
So is, “Keep track o f the
pennies, and the dollars will
take care o f themselves.”
Both sayings can apply to
income and expenses. W hen
b u d g e tin g tim e co m es
around, though, m ost o f our
focus is on expenses.
Im provem ent in the bal
ance between the two usually
comes quickest with reduc
tions in spending.
Governm ents sometimes
forget that. They often try to
force a balance by' raising
taxés, selling bonds, or print
ing money. O ur personal debt
capacity limitations— income,
savings, bank and credit card
limits— aren’t that easily over
come.
“O ne Percent” Louie has
been my best example o f re
ducing business expenses.
Louie owned three chains
o f restaurants. His goal was
profit. H e increased profits
by first looking for ways to
save 1 percent from expenses.
V
Sometimes he saved more.
H e never took it out o f his
employees.
Louie would concentrate
on just one possible savings
task at a time. W hen that was
done, he would pop his head
up and look for another sav
ing opportunity.
The technique worked for
him.
H ow could saving 1 per
cent from our spending help
us?
Consider this. D o you and
your family like hamburgers?
H ow many times a month?
My answers are “Yes” and
“Too often!”
I f tak e h o m e pay is
$2,000 a m onth, one percent
is $20. T hat would be about
$5 a week. T hat’s not enough
to buy m ost o f the Combo
meals at McDonalds.
C u t o u t o n e O rig in a l
Burger Combo meal a week
and you will save slightly
more than 1 percent a month.
Cut out two Combo meals a
week and you’ll save over 2
percent— and maybe lose a
couple pounds. Bless those
unintended consequences.
W hat if-you cut o ut one
Combo meal a week for each
mem ber o f a family o f four?
T hat’s sixteen a m onth for a
saving o f $80 th at m onth.
N ow you have saved over 4
percent.
In v e s t th a t $80 each
m o n th at 5 percent for 15
years and you could end up
with over $21,000.
W hat would that buy?
H ow about two $10,000
college degrees? Can that be
done? It has been done! I ’ll
get back to you on that idea.
Math trick
And now, since math magi
cally came up again, here is
another quick “how to do it
in your head” math trick.
W hen multiplying m ost 3-
digit numbers by eleven, say
11 x 235, the first num ber o f
your answer will be the (2);
the second number will be the
sum o f the 2 & 3 (5); the
third num ber will be the sum
o f 3 & 5 (8); and the last
num ber will be five (5). The
sam e m eth o d w orks w ith
most three digit multiplicands.
The answer is 2,585.
To see how it works, do
the problem on paper and
watch how the numbers add
down for the answer. Then,
compare the numbers you are
adding dow n to those you
calculated from left to right.
They are the same.
A nother way o f “seeing”
how it works is to replace the
numbers with letters— the 2
becomes A, the three is B, the
five is C— and the “ru le”
would be: the first num ber in
the answer is A, the second
num ber is A + B, the third
num ber is B + C, and the last
num ber in the answer is C.
O n paper we usually are
taught to calculate from right
to left. In our heads, it’s left
to right and a lot quicker.
Wasn’t that fun?
A n o th er quiz— W hat is
the first three-digit num ber
that will make you calculate
a five-digit answer when mul
tiplying by eleven? .
T he correct answ er will
earn another ice cream cone.
We have done three mul
tiplication head games in the
last three papers. Addition,
subtraotion, and division can
also be made easy, quick, and
fun. Are you interested in see
ing more? I f so, give me a
call. My num ber is 541-553-
3512.
