Online and in your face

They don’t like the crowds, the traffic, the parking chaos. They dislike the same- ness — the same mall chain stores piping in the same holiday music and selling the same made-in-China sweaters, whether in Spokane, Indianapolis or Raleigh. They stress out when waiting for someone to take their payment. Small wonder that 45 percent of consumers have done at least some holiday shopping this year via the Internet, according to the Deloitte consulting firm. But if you think Internet shopping is a hassle-free environment overseen by invariably polite computers, you probably haven’t done much of it. No one escapes. Online merchants have mastered the sci- ence of getting in your face Case in point, I looked at a shoulder bag on Amazon. Checking the dimensions and color, that’s all.

Meanwhile, if there’s a problem with the order that requires human contact, good luck to you. For many, shopping remains an entertainment, and the holiday crowds add to the joy. Understanding this, some strictly online retailers are beginning to open physical shops so that people can touch, see and try on the wares. Bonobos is an example. Once so militant- ly cyber that its founder gave a speech pre- dicting the end of apparel stores, Bonobos now concedes that a guy other than the male model on the webpage might want to check its cotton chinos for size. He might also like to see how orange “burnt ochre” really is. The unpleasant aspects of Internet shopping may not bother you, and let me say in honesty that I find the online assault more amusing than irritating.But anyone who promotes online shopping as the cure for holiday stress must have greater skill in disposing of Styrofoam packing materials than I do.

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — “R- G-3!” was all Redskins fans needed to chant when they wanted to express their love for Robert Griffin III. For the lesser-known rookie, they opted for his whole name: “Alf-red Mor-ris!” It’s a new generation that has Washington atop the NFC East for the first time this millennium. There’s Griffin — the vocal leader, the first-round draft pick, the Heisman Trophy winner, the team captain. And there’s Morris — the out-of-nowhere sixth- rounder from Florida Atlantic who merely ran for 200 yards and three touchdowns in the division-clincher and broke the franchise single-season rushing record. “These,” cornerback DeAngelo Hall said, “aren’t ordinary rook- ies.” The Redskins claimed their first division title since 1999, beating the archrival Dallas By Alysha Beck, The World Cowboys 28-18 Sunday night in a North Bend’s Cam Lucero dribbles against Coquille’s Larry Bowen during the championship game at the Les Schwab South Coast Holiday Basketball Tournament on Saturday. winner-take-all finale to end the Lucero was named the tournament MVP after scoring 27 points in the final.

C M C M Y K C4• The World • Tuesday, January1,2013 Y K Think you DILBERT might be a cheapskate? Not many people enjoy being called a cheapskate. But I do. I don’t think of it as an insult, but a com- mentary on how far I’ve come. I was born a FRANK AND ERNEST spender, and I took that tendency to a horrible extreme EVERYDAY at one CHEAPSKATE point in my life. The changes over the years that have brought THE BORN LOSER me to where I Mary am Hunt today offer an amazing contrast. If ‘spendthrift’ is at one extreme, I guess ‘cheapskate’ is at the other. And given the choice, I’ll embrace the latter any day. To me, a cheapskate is ZITS simply one who gives, saves and doesn’t spend money she doesn’t have. A while ago, a very lively discussion took place at DebtProofLiving.com. Everyone wanted to weigh in on signs you know you’re a cheapskate. Here are some of my favorites: You know you’re a Cheapskate when ...... your husband hides things in the house CLASSIC PEANUTS because he is afraid you’re going to sell them on eBay to raise money for your emergency fund. THE FAMILY CIRCUS ... you plan meals like your eighth-grade home- economics teacher (if only she could see you now). ... the checker tells you that she has never in her 10 years of working in a grocery store sold a bar of Fels-Naptha soap. FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE ... you call your credit card company’s 800 number just to hear your balance going down. ... you use more envelopes to hold your money than you use to mail your bills. ... your ceramic piggy bank has a spotlight over it. ... you go online to check your savings ROSE IS ROSE account balance first thing in the morning on the first day of the month, even if it means you have to get up early ... then you sit there and giggle with glee. ... you get $60 cash from the bank, and it lasts longer than $100 cash used to last. ... you buy something with your credit card and immediately go online to LUANN transfer the exact amount from your checking account to pay it early and so it will never show a balance. ... every month you take your saved change to the bank, deposit it, then head straight to the nearest computer to transfer that amount to your credit card balance! ... friends ask you to go GRIZZWELLS out to eat Mexican food, and you say you’re making tacos at the house if they’d like to come by and join you. ... you’re faced with losing your job, and you don’t lose any sleep at night because you have six months of living expenses in your emergency fund and no credit-card debt! ... you hear about a good book and rush online to put it on hold ... at the library! ... you discuss your MODERATELY CONFUSED KIT ’N’ CARLYLE HERMAN finances with your spouse, and you are both SMILING because you know the balance of three bank accounts — to the penny! Whatever your defini- tion, the point is to strive to be a cheapskate. Mary Hunt is the founder of www.DebtProofLiving.com and author of 23 books, including her January 2013 release, “Cheaper.

C M C M Y K Tuesday, January1,2013 • The World • C5 Y K Pay ahead or DILBERT pay down? It can be confusing Several months ago, we refinanced our mortgage. The transaction closed in August with the first pay- FRANK AND ERNEST ment due in October. Rather than take a month off from making a mortgage payment, we made an unsched- uled payment in September to reduce the principal right off the bat. We sent a letter with the payment and wrote “Principal Prepayment” on the check. A few EVERYDAY weeks CHEAPSKATE later, we got a THE BORN LOSER statement showing that the payment had been credited to the October Mary pay- Hunt ment, not to pay ZITS down the principal as instructed. The woman in customer service said someone must have assumed that we really wanted to “pay ahead” rather than “pay down.” It took a little persistence to convince her to the con- trary. Applying that payment to the principal was good for us, but not profitable for the CLASSIC PEANUTS lender. By reducing the principal at the beginning of the loan, we will save more than $4,000 in interest and cut three months off the THE FAMILY CIRCUS term. On the other hand, applying it to the October payment would have put almost the entire amount into the lender’s pocket in the form of interest. This doesn’t mean that it is never wise to pay ahead on a mortgage or other kind FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE of debt. Here’s a quick overview: 1. Pay down the principal. When you pay down the principal, your loan balance goes down. But you still have to make the next scheduled payment. Let’s say you make your regular mortgage payment in April plus three extra payments. You enclose a note that the additional payments are to ROSE IS ROSE “pay down” the principal balance. You will still have a payment due in May and June and July, as scheduled. 2. Pay the account ahead. Let’s say that you sent those three extra payments because you are going to Europe for the summer and want to pay all of your bills in advance before you leave. In this scenario, you want to “pay ahead.” You’ll be back LUANN before the August payment is due. If you are not clear how you want the extra funds handled, the lender might assume you want to “pay down” the principal balance. You head off on your trip assuming you’ve made your mortgage payments. You arrive home only to learn that your home is in foreclosure for failure to pay. GRIZZWELLS Some lenders will simply return additional payments if it is not clear how they are to be handled. Others auto- matically apply additional sums to future payments, defaulting to the lender’s benefit. When you make prepay- ments on your mortgage, always enclose clear instructions. And make sure you also abbreviate your instructions on the check itself. But don’t leave it there. Follow up in a couple of weeks to make sure the MODERATELY CONFUSED KIT ’N’ CARLYLE HERMAN transaction was handled per your instructions. And don’t be surprised if your lender is not easily persuad- ed to “pay down.”Don’t give up. Unless you have a prepayment penalty clause in your terms and conditions, you have every legal right to “pay down” your mortgage, student loans or credit cards.
