Community business- Castlegar Savings Credit Union sponsored the Castlegar portion of a recent visit of How can the’ respectable addict It hit me, in the middle of an Air Canada chicken tunch 35,000 feet over Saskatchewan, as I was flying home from a two-week working holiday in the Caribbean. I felt I had just discovered “the meaning of life” (or, to be a little more modest, one of the mean- ings of life). In that suspended world above the world, it struck me that what most of us strive for is (or per- haps should be) the correct bal- ance between work (for ourselves, family or others — eaming money or enabling others to earn) and play (giving our- selves and others pleasure, engaging in an activity simply for its own sake — spending money). And I wondered how successful I was at achieving t hat balance. Hardly an original thought, you say? Perhaps not, but we all make discoveries of basic yet important truths at different times of our lives. Maybe this concept does sound simple. Yet can you hon- estly say you have the correct balance between work and play, interpreted in the broadcast sens- es of the words, in your life? In our society, we tend to work too much. We are driven by our own real or perceived needs, or by outside pressures. On the other hand, sometimes we are unable to work enough, hindered by poor health or lack of satisfying work, whether inside or outside the home. I think “A types” find it more difficult to achieve and maintain the correct balance. “B types” Probably wouldn’t even think about writing a column like this. We all need contrast and vari- ety. We like to eat out. But if we eat out every day, then we long for a home-cooked meal It's great to go on holiday and get away from home and work But it's usually good to sleep in one's own bed again, to return to friends and familiar surroundings, and a more normal productive routine — even if those first few days can be depressing, especial- ly after a really good “getting away from it all” vacation. I've been reading Worka- holics, The Re Addicts, those long hours on the job, including being at home but still on the job, perhaps you should “work” at this challenge, too — asl am. Killinger suggest various ways to modify your behavior — to be less of a perfectionist, to take a chance being late, to focus on what you can accomplish in a given time and let the rest go. You need to admit you are a kaholic, that working gives by Barbara Killinger (Key Porter, $26.95. And I admit I recognize many of the traits described as mune. Perhaps that has been a neces- sary evil over the past six years of Starting up and running my own business after 25 years of work- ing the comfortable corporate security of the Vancouver Sun. Or perhaps, if I'm honest, I have always trended toward workaholism — and going out on my own simply intensified this “respectable addiction.” If you (and your family) deserve more out of life than SUBMITTED Finance and Corporate Rela- tions Minister Glen Clark said today that property tax notices were in the main to 300,000 Tural area property owners. “We want to make sure that people are notified in plenty of time so that they don’t miss the July 2, 1992 due date and incur a late penalty,” Clark said. The maximum basic Home Owner Grant has been increased this year by $20 to $450, and to $720 for seniors and qualifying disabled and war veteran home- owners. In addition to the increased basic grant, the aver- age residential school tax rate Rural area property tax notices mailed was maintained at the same level as last year. These measures are intended to offset the impact of the cancella- tion of the supplementary Home Owner Grant. Using the province's Land Tax Deferment Program, homeowners who are aged 60 or more, widowed, or qualifying as disabled may defer payment of their annual property taxes. Rural area property taxes are managed by the province. They include provincial general and school tax levies, and local ser- vice levies that the province col- lects on behalf of regional districts, hospita! districts and other public agencies with tax- ing authority. Property taxes fund police, fire, water and sewer services, and recreation facilities: Property tax notices that can- not be delivered by Canada Post will be returned to local govern- ment agents. Property owners who do not receive a property tax notice by mid-June should con- tact the nearest government agent or Surveyor of Taxes Office in Victoria at (604) 387-0555, as taxes must be paid by July 2, 1992 to avoid the late payment penalty. Municipal property taxpayers receive their tax notices from the municipality where the property is located. you a high unmatched by any- thing else and you are hooked on this high. I have interviewed many “successful” business peo- ple who , off the record, admit their work comes first and their family and (non-business) friends second. If you want to change, “be patient and don't expect mira- cles,” Killinger says. “Your impulsive need to see results immediately will work against you.” Recognize. your anger. Learn to listen effectively. Get in touch with your own feelings; allow yourself to be vulnerable. Savor and share simple, everyday expe- riences from smelling the roses to actually sitting and doing noth- ing. Take time out to enjoy “today” instead of promising yourself and others you'll take time off “tomorrow.” Learn to ’ get priorities straight say no. Get professional help. That play-work balance also forms a fundamental part of. financial planning if you want to achieve the maximum quality of. life for you and those you touch,- both now and in the future. Very: simply; you need to balance spending and enjoying moncy. now, with saving and investing so you will have more to spend and enjoy later. The balance differs from one individual or family to the next.- And you need to review and: adjust the balance at least once a year as your situation changes.
