Lower Your Mortgage Payments
New Bi-weekly Payment Plan Now Offered Nationwide
(NU) - There are two ways to pay
a 30-year-fixed rate $100,000 mort
gage’. Under the conventional
method of monthly payments at 10
percent interest, your total payments
will be the original principal plus
$216,000 in interest. Under the new
system of one-half your monthly
payment every two weeks, your
new total will be the principal plus
only $ 137.400 interests.
Advocates of the bi-weekly mort
gage payment system point out that
the homeowner saves over $79,000
in interest payments over 30 years
— an average of $2600 per year in
interest.
This new home mortgage pay
ment program was first devised by a
New Hampshire financial group.
Bi-weekly Mortgage Acceptance
Corp. — known as Billie Mac. The
reason Billie Mac's program saves
the homeowner major interest costs
is that Billie Mac. in conjunction
with Citibank. N.A.. collects one
half the monthly mortgage payment
from the homeowner on a biweekly
schedule and places it in an interest
bearing account. Later in the month.
Billie Mac pays the monthly mort
gage on schedule.
$2600 Yearly Savings
The result is that over a 12-month
period the interest accrued in
Citibank plus the extra biweekly
payments will average about $2600
a year over a period of 30 years.
This concept was first introduced
in October 1988. by Billie Mac of
Manchester. According to the com
pany. the response has been tremen
dous particularly from knowledge
able groups such as mortgage
1
bankers, insurance advisors and
financial planning consultants.
This program — also called the
equity acceleration method (TEAM)
— has spread all over the country.
Billie Mac representatives are located
in most metropolitan areas. If you
want further information, telephone
Billie Mac at 603-624-0024 or write
Billie Mac. PO BOX 1901, Man
chester NH 03105-1901. :<

Secrets of Good Night’s Sleep
Therapist Gives Several Methods to Beat Insomnia
By Ralph Slawson/News USA
(NU) - A new book by a sleep
specialist discusses natural ways to
attain the blissful experience of
sleeping like a baby for the one-in
three people who suffer a particular
type of hell called insomnia.
Therapist John Selby, in “Secrets
of a Good Night’s Sleep”, published
by Avon Books, gives the details of
how to conquer insomnia by natural
and gentle methods, without drugs.
The book's 12 chapters discuss
all aspects of sleep, as well as
sources of insomnia, and how to
overcome them. Basic to sleeping is
a sense of security, and in commu
nal units like a family, a sense of
belonging and safety aids against
sleeplessness.
Regaining Childhood Security
When people lose their childhood
memories of togetherness, emotional
or economic developments threaten
their security and sense of belonging.
With this threat often comes an
inability to relax into the ancient pro
cess of nightly cycles of sleep.
Waking up refreshed is a function
of the amount of “delta" sleep you
get, the fourth, and deepest, level of
sleep where you relax completely.
People who need very little sleep go
almost immediately into delta sleep
rather than going througn me
three levels of more shallow stem.
The average person needs only «
The average person needs only
minutes of lelta sleep each night
Sleep researchers conclude ti
that
there is no set rule for how tong »
individual should sleep. Require
ments vary. ...
Facing and dealing directly with
inner conflicts that cause insomnia
can be accomplished by individuals,
although some might need a little
professional help to do this. Delta
sleep is a psychological process
whicn the body needs to experience
each night.
Based on 20 years as a therapist.
Selby writes his book so that the
individual who is willing to try may
use it as professional direction to
find insight, personal growth, and a
good night’s sleep.
Each chapter in the 120-page book
ends with a practical way to encour
age sleep. Meditation is the central
technique to relax the mind, turn off
the chronic flow of thoughts, and pre
cisely guide attention to personal
