WSJ — Faced with $90,000 in student debt from his days at Harvard Business School, Mihalic vowed last August to eliminate every penny by this summer. He did — three months early.

So how did he cut through $90,000 in seven months? It helps to have a low-six-figure salary, as Mihalic does working for Dell Inc. But he also recommends getting roommates, a second job (in his case, landscaping), forgoing all restaurant dining (even McDonald’s), selling all unnecessary items around the house — and getting a flask.

Mihalic said he spent months taking a flask of liquor to bars so he could continue to go out drinking with friends without running up a tab. (Be warned: this is typically illegal.) Instead of the movies, he took dates out hiking, or for bagels and coffee. He ate protein bars packed from home and walked several miles to the city, to save a few bucks on transportation, during a trip to Michigan. He got two roommates to rent out his house.

MTJ — Typically, the U.S. Postal Service drops off mail at people’s houses. This Saturday is the day that mail carriers will pick something up: food donations.

For the 18th consecutive year, members of the National Association of Letter Carriers in Butler County are gearing up for Stamp Out Hunger — the largest one-day food drive in America.

Members of NALC branches 426 and 43, along with rural letter carriers, will be collecting nonperishable food donations when they deliver mail Saturday. To donate, set out bags or boxes of nonperishable food items by the mailbox at home, and letter carriers will pick it up while delivering the mail.

The food will be delivered to Shared Harvest’s warehouse in Fairfield for sorting and processing and will then be taken to local food pantries, soup kitchens or shelters during the summer months throughout Butler and Warren counties.

So everyone remember to help out this Saturday as you can take part in the fight to end hunger. Tune in to the blog for more updates to come. In the mean time don’t forget we only a call away for all your LI Insurance needs.

1. Change of Lifestyle. If you changed your job, your transportation, or your residence, then there is a good chance that you can find a better rate for your insurance.

2. Lower Auto Insurance Rates. From time to time insurance companies may change their rates and the only way for you to find out is by shopping around and finding those lower rates.

3. Improved Driving Record. If you have been driving without any reported accidents for at least three years, then there is a high possibility of your driving record to be clear. The cleaner the driving record the better rates you’ll get from the Auto Insurance Companies.

4. Growing Up. Remember how you waited to be 18 years old so you would be considered as an adult? Well, now if you are 25 or older, you could get your insurance rates dropped dramatically.

5. Better Credit History. If you paid of some of your loans and debt, then most likely your credit score went up. Higher credit score means better credit history. Better credit history means lower insurance rates.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — If there has been one constant with the Yankees during the recent edition of their dynasty, it has been the unparalleled success and durability of Mariano Rivera. Rivera, 42, tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee while chasing a fly ball during batting practice before the Yankees’ 4-3 loss to the Royals. As he ran toward the center-field wall, his knee buckled and he crashed into the wall, then fell to the warning-track dirt, clutching his right knee as he grimaced in pain.  Rivera was taken to Kansas University MedWest hospital for a magnetic resonance imaging test. The Royals’ team physician, Dr. Vincent Key, provided a diagnosis of the torn A.C.L., which almost certainly means Rivera has thrown the last pitch of his season, if not his career. An emotional Rivera said through tears after the game that he had let the team down. When asked if he thought he would come back to pitch again, he was uncertain. “At this point I don’t know, I don’t know, we have to face this first,” he said, then after a pause to collect himself, he added: “It all depends how the rehab is going to happen. From there, we’ll see.”
