Money Can Break up A Family By Willie Featherstone, Jr. County Extension Chairman Money can be the tie that binds or breaks the family. The reason: every family member has different values and attitudes towards the spending and saving of money. The solution: to have a good old family talk about money -- and that may call for some ground rules. First, arrange for a specific time when all family members can get together. And meet on a regular basis instead of waiting for a problem to occur. Keep in mind that whoever earns the money doesn't earn the right to dictate how it should be spent. And be sure you zero in on the real problem. Is it a matter of spending too much money, spending it at the wrong time or spending it for the wrong things. ? ? ? CREDIT -? GOOD OR BAD Credit may be a blessing, a burden or both. On the plus side it allows you to have the use of items while you're paying for them. On the bad side, credit can even lead I , to financial problems, ranging from late payment charges to bankruptcy. So here's a qui/. And if you answer "yes" to all of these ques tions -- you're using credit wisely. Do you avoid using credit unless it's necessary? Do you compare total credit costs, including interest and other charges so you can take advantage of the best buy in credit? And do you really know how much you pay in credit costs each month? ? * ? REPOSSESSION RIGHTS Ever wonder what would hap pen if you defaulted on a credit loan, or installment sales contract? Well, first of all your creditor has a right to that property and any items you used to secure the loan. But if you have a good reason not to pay. you may refuse to return the item and consult an at torney. This forces the creditor to obtain a court order to repossess and gives you a chance to tell your side of the dispute in court.

Special Jobless Benefits Extended Through 1985 Special unemployment in surance benefits have been extend ed for 18 months. The Federal Supplemental Com pensation (FSC) program will be in effect until March 31, 1985. New legislation will benefit unemployed claimants in Hoke County who established an FSC claim on or after April 3, or those who will exhaust regular unemployment insurance benefits in the future. Glenn Jernigan, chairman of the N.C. Employment Security Com mission (ESC), said, "Currently some 9,000 unemployed North Carolina workers are receiving FSC benefit checks which average about $100 per claim per week." Jernigan added, "Claimants who established a new FSC claim on or after Oct. 23, in North Carolina may be eligible for up to 12 weeks of benefits beyond the regular unemployment insurance benefit period." The weekly dollar amount is the same for regular and FSC benefits. All states will be paying at least eight weeks in FSC payments under the new extension. Funds for the FSC program are provided by the federal government; and, as a result, there is no drain on the North Carolina unemployment in surance fund which is maintained by employer contributions.
