In 1982, I listened intently to a 28-year-old man sincerely explain to me why he simply couldn’t be an alcoholic because he “only” drank beer. I had been asked to convince him that he was, in fact, an alcoholic and that the hospital’s treatment program was available to help him get sober. Being only a few months over a year sober myself, I could only tell him of my own addiction, desperation, transformation and sobriety. Medically he was not in great shape. He was in kidney failure and his liver and stomach lining were eq...
Millions of Americans will be receiving 2013 open enrollment materials.

The 2012-13 girls basketball season will be Dan Bachman’s third as Fallbrook High School’s varsity coach, but it was the first in which he had to make cuts during tryouts.

Some people don’t like eating leftovers, but there are many ways to disguise them in a freshly made dish. Meat is the easiest food to reuse; ham can be chopped up and a...

But if one can dedicate a few minutes to review benefits and tax paperwork, he or she might be able to shave hundreds – or even thousands – of dollars off 2012 taxes. Here are a few suggestions: If not maxed out on contributions, ask your employer if you can make a catch-up contribution to your 401(k), 403(b) or 457 plan before year’s end. Most people can contribute up to $17,000 in 2012 (a $500 increase over 201...
The end of the year is traditionally a month for giving generously to charities, friends and family. But it’s also a time that can have a major impact on the tax return you’ll file in the New Year.

Until last year, Social Security sent taxpayers an annual personalized statement showing a complete record of their taxable earnings as well as estimated retirement, disability and survivor benefits based on those earnings. Unfortunately, budget constraints put an end to those yearly mailings. But there’s good news: Social Security has resumed mailing paper statements to workers 60 and older who aren’t already receiving benefits. And, they recently launched a new Social Security Statement tool that allows a person to acc...
