Save a little. For every ten dollars, spend only nine dollars. Put the dollar away and watch how quickly your savings grows. 2. Control your expenditures. Budget expenses to pay for the necessities and for sheer enjoyments, without spending more than 9/10ths of your wages. 3. Make your money multiply. Put your savings to good use, (ie. savings, investments, bonds) so it reproduces itself through interest. 4. Guard against losses. Invest only when the principal is safe, where it can be reclaimed, if desirable, and where you can collect a fair rate of return. 5. Own your own home, it is a profitable investment. 6. Insure a future income. Provide in advance for your retirement. Increase your contribution to your deferred compensation plan. 7. Learn more about your investment opportunities. Read, take courses, listen to financial advisors.

According to the Tax Foundation in Washington, D. C., an independent tax agency, Tax Freedom Day was celebrated the first week of May last year. -- The average wage earner will need to work from the beginning of the year through May 5 to pay federal income taxes, Social Security, Medicare, state taxes, sales and excise taxes, property taxes and corporate taxes (which are ultimately passed on to consumers). What does that means to us? For every dollar you earn, almost 35 cents goes to pay taxes! 4Rtf'IR#R4t YOU ARE THE COMPANY We've all heard the expression, "You are the Company", recognizing that every employee has the power to influence customers and customer satisfaction. The City is no different. Each of us has the power to make the customers (ie. the Public) of the City feel happy or dissatisfied. A careless word, an indifferent attitude, can ruin a customer relationship forever. On the other hand, if you're helpful, honest, and concerned, people will be impressed with you and the City. Successful companies know that customers form an impression of them on the basis of each encounter with their employees. That's why they treat every customer contact as a moment of truth, a time when a relationship can be made or broken. To a customer, you are the Company, no matter what your job. Treat customers with respect when you encounter them. And recognize that YOU ARE IMPORTANT. YOUR ATTITUDE DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE. QUOTABLE QUOTE "An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while the pessimist -sees only the red stoplight. The truly wise person is color blind." -Albert Schweitzer "Last Halloween, one kid showed up at my door dressed as an IRS agent. It was very authentic. He took 408 of our candy." -Unknown BEER if you drink two cans of beer a day, and don't increase your activity level, you can add 31 pounds to your weight over the course of a year.
