He named all his daughters owners, with him owning the majority share. The business failed, and now he is being sued by creditors. He told the family these creditors can’t come after us and the other siblings, because he is the majority owner. Is this true, or should we get a lawyer? Caleb Dear Caleb, Your wife is probably not in danger, unless she signed paperwork making her liable for a loan or liable with a creditor. If she signed official, legal paperwork – like if she went down to the bank and signed on a loan – then she’s liable. It’s that simple. That would make her, or any of her siblings who did this, co-makers on the loan. Your wife, and any of her sisters, who signed on trade accounts taking supplies from a supplier and paying them could also be liable. But they are not automatically liable simply because they were listed as minority owners in an LLC, or even a sub-S corporation. If it were a general partnership, there’s a possibility they could be liable. That’s one of the reasons I hate general partnerships. I hate partnerships in general, but I hate general partnerships, too! In other words, I think you’re okay. I would still advise speaking with an attorney, and giving him or her all the details of this situation, to be absolutely certain. — Dave Dave Ramsey Be There for Each Other, and Don’t Give Up! Dear Dave, My wife and I both lost our jobs a few weeks ago. She began a training course for a new job last week, and I’ve been interviewing. We cashed in an annuity the other day because things have been tight, and we were wondering if we should use it to help continue paying down debt, or simply live on it until things get better. Vernon Dear Vernon, You need to be honorable and pay your debts, but that may have to be put on hold for a while. Right now, it’s more important to have food in the house and keep the heat on. If you haven’t done so already, contact your creditors and explain the situation. Let them know you’ll make things right with them as soon as possible. I know this is a scary situation, especially around the holidays, so make sure you two pull together and keep the lines of communication wide open. A few extra hugs wouldn’t hurt, either. The good news is it sounds like things may be looking up. Support your wife all you can in her new job, and make sure you continue looking for work, too. A little extra money is better than none, so take on something part-time while you’re looking for a permanent position.

Chicken Nuggets, Green Beans, Frosted Cinnamon Roll Happy New Year! By Daris Howard I had nine brothers and sisters, and there wasn’t a lot of money for new things. But living on a farm with that many siblings meant we found ways of having fun that didn’t cost a lot. One was with an old commercial chicken building on our farm that had a low ground floor and a steep roof. The snow in the winter was always high enough that it packed up to the roof. The snow also covered the roof. This created a perfect sledding slope. We didn’t have money for sleds, but that didn’t stop us. We found that the scoop shovels that we used to shovel grain would work. These were plentiful on our farm. We would sit on the shovel with the handle to the front. We would put our feet out front along the handle, or if we were really good at balancing, we could put our feet up on the handle and lean back. I started sledding down this roof by the time I was five years old. I never saw any other sled until the time I was ten. I had joined the cub scouts, and we were going to the sand hills. I showed up carrying my scoop shovel. “What’s that?” Rod said with disgust. “It’s a scoop shovel,” I replied. “I can see that,” Rod replied. “But why did you bring it sledding?” I thought everyone used a scoop shovel for sledding, so I thought it was a dumb question. By this time, all of the other boys had gathered around. “This is what we use for sledding,” I said. Rod rolled his eyes. “That’s the dumbest thing I ever heard.” I looked at the sleds the other boys were carrying. There was no one else with a scoop shovel. Theirs actually were sleds. Rod’s was especially nice. It was a round saucer with curled up edges. We loaded into our cub scout leader’s suburban and headed to the sledding hill. All of the way there, the other boys continued to mock my scoop shovel. “Where do you usually go sledding with your shovel?” Lenny asked. I explained about the chicken building roof. They all laughed and said it was stupid. When we got to the sledding hill, we hurried to the top. I quickly learned how nice the other boys’ sleds were. They climbed on them and zipped down the hill. They didn’t have to worry about balancing to not tip over. And even though my scoop worked well as a sled, it had far more drag. I only went about half as far as they did. They let me try their sleds, and I grew very unsatisfied with my scoop shovel. My mother had volunteered to make hot chocolate for us, so our Cub Scout leader was taking us to my house. I was deeply considering how I could get a sled, when Rod mockingly said, “Maybe when we get to your house, we should try your sledding roof with a real sled.” The boys all thought that was a good idea. So once we arrived at my home, while my mother prepared the hot chocolate, we boys headed out to the sledding roof. We climbed to the top, and I went down first to show them how I used the scoop shovel. When I got back to the top, Rod said, “Now watch what a real sled will do.” He jumped on his sled, and when he reached the spot where I had stopped, he was still moving at high speed. One thing I hadn’t thought about was that the big manure pit where the wet manure drained was in that direction. It was covered with a thin layer of snow. I never worried about it because my shovel sled wouldn’t go that far. But Rod’s took him on top of it. He stopped, and turned PRECISION PAINTING to me and laughed. “See what •Interior •Exterior a good sled will do?” •Commercial He then stepped off of •Residential his sled and immediately Quality Workmanship, dropped up to his neck in Reasonable Rates wet manure. CLINT TUCKER As the other boys gasped, 624-4621 I decided my scoop shovel Since 1983 sled was a good one after all.
