Just consider that your cellphone bill might be the place to start cut- ting back so you can free up some money to save. Last month, Everyday Cheapskate and Debt- Proof Living promoted the recent annual America ROSE IS ROSE Saves Week. I couldn’t think of a bet- ter time to recommit to saving, and told anyone who would listen about the Feb. 25 to March 2 event. Whether readers needed to boost what they were doing already, or begin saving for the first time, my message was to just do it. If you missed this annual LUANN event, no worries. You can hold your own savings week.Visit AmericaSavesWeek.org, make sure you have a savings account open and ready to go, and learn how you can put your savings program on autopilot. One of the reasons you need to move to the fast track of saving is something a lot of us would rather not think about: retirement. GRIZZWELLS Did you just wince in pain? I know the feeling! But the results of a survey at AmericaSavesWeek.org reveal what I’ve long sus- pected: Having a savings plan with specific goals can have beneficial financial effects, even for lower- income families. Even when income is taken into account, those with a savings plan are much more likely to spend less than their income and save the difference, have adequate funds in an emer- gency account, and — MODERATELY CONFUSED KIT ’N’ CARLYLE HERMAN among those not-yet- retired — say they are saving enough for retirement. Remember, retirement is inevitable. But the earlier you get started, the better. And if it’s too late for you to start early, it’s still not too late to get started at all.

THE WORLD

KENNEWICK, Wash. — The Southwestern Oregon Community College women’s basketball team was alive in the consolation brack- et at the NWAACC Tournament today after bouncing back from a first-round loss to beat Lower Columbia on Sunday. The Lakers were scheduled to face Spokane in the consolation semifinals at noon today. The Laker men bowed out of the tournament with two straight losses. They were eliminated by Pierce 88-57 in a consolation game Sunday. The women lost to Walla Walla 71-57 on Saturday but beat Lower Columbia 75-65 a day later. “We got our first NWAACC win,” said Laker coach Mike Herbert. “It was huge.” Quynne Eharis had a big game against the Red Devils with 29 points and 12 rebounds. Mari The Associated Press Aguilera added 14 points and Carl Edwards celebrates after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Phoenix International Raceway on Sunday.
