C M C M Y K A6• The World • Monday, March 18,2013 Y K Sick DILBERT over debt Years ago, I read a fasci- nating study from Reuters Health about debt and its FRANK AND ERNEST effect on one’s health. The conclusion was amazing. Not only is debt harmful, credit card debt is the worst the kind of debt. This was later confirmed by an Associated Press-AOL Health poll. The EVERYDAY t erm CHEAPSKATE “stress” is fairly broad, but this THE BORN LOSER study reported how stress plays out. W ould Mary y ou Hunt believe those in credit card debt are more likely to have ulcers, severe depres- ZITS sion and even heart attacks? It’s true, and it may be affecting you. So, how are you feeling? Are you experiencing panic attacks? There could be a correlation. Headaches, depression? Digestive issues? Uh-huh. Could be that big load of debt you’re dragging from one month to the next. If you are truly suffer- CLASSIC PEANUTS ing, I hope you are seeing a physician who can help you treat the symptoms. I doubt, however, if any doctor is prescribing the THE FAMILY CIRCUS one thing that will cure the stress and all of its fallout. So I’ll do that: Stop adding to your debt, and get started on a plan today to get out of debt. Once. And. For. All. Look, I know that’s easy to say. And you’re right, I FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE don’t know your specific situation. But I know what it’s like to be in debt. I know that feeling of hope- lessness, of not being able to fall asleep and then being terrified to wake up. I know that feeling in the pit of your stomach, the heart pounding that happens every time the phone rings. I have been in horrible debt. And I got out. ROSE IS ROSE I don’t write this col- umn every day because I love to write (I do, by the way). I write it because I have such a burning passion to help people who are stuck in debt to get out and to stay out. I love to teach people with ordinary incomes to do extraordi- nary things with what they have — like pay back their debt and go on to debt- LUANN proof their lives. So, are you sick and tired of being sick and in debt? Good. That’s the first step. And you have to get mad. I mean really angry about what you’ve allowed debt to do to your life, your family — your health! It’s time to start fighting back. Next, you need to get a plan — one that will allow you to continue living and GRIZZWELLS paying your bills, but also to start whacking away at your debt. I can’t promise you that in a year from now you will be debt-free. But I can promise that if you will follow a plan, a year from now you could be on your way to being debt-free. There’s no one-size- fits-all plan for getting out of debt. Believe me, I know. But if you’re interested in debt-proofing your life, MODERATELY CONFUSED KIT ’N’ CARLYLE HERMAN check out my story and The DPL Plan at DebtProofLiving.com.

were probably as low as we could get. But we bounced back. I think it showed a little bit of the character of our team,” Altman said. “Guys stayed with it. They accepted our coaching, our criticism, and we bounced back.” The Ducks were ranked as high as No. 10 this season but struggled some after losing freshman point guard Dominic Artis to a foot injury in January. Even after he returned, Oregon was stunned with losses in its final two games, at Utah and Colorado, which cost the Ducks the league’s regular- season title. The losses also dropped the Ducks out of the AP Top 25. Oregon would finish 12-6 in the Pac-12 for a share of second place. But the Pac-12 tournament was another story. Johnathan Loyd, who stepped in when Artis went down with his injury, came off the bench to score a season-high 19 points and Oregon defeated UCLA 78- 69 in the title game on Saturday night in Las Vegas. “We lost the opportunity to win one championship,” said Loyd, the tournament MVP. “We said let’s go get another one.” Oregon has been to the NCAA tournament 10 times, the last in 2008 when the Ducks lost to Mississippi State in the first round. Oregon won the national championship once, in the tournament’s first year, 1939.
