Steps outlined for journalists

to protect against harassment
The Associated Press vised to use a password

NEW YORK — Con-

cerned about growing
threats to safety, the Com-
mittee to Protect Journal-
ists on Wednesday issued
a series of recommenda-
tions for reporters to take
to protect themselves from
digital harassment.
The advice was particu-
larly geared to women , and
included steps they should
take to limit the amount of
personal information they
make available online.
Harassment reports
have increased with the
growing use of digital
journalism techniques and
the desire by many news
organizations that their
reporters have a greater
presence on social media,
said Courtney Radsch, the
committee’s advocacy di-
rector. Some 85 percent of
people responding to a CPJ
survey said they believed
journalists have become
less safe over the past five
years and that online ha-
rassment was the greatest
threat they faced.
Radsch said she was
surprised to hear so many
journalists who responded
to the survey talk about the
emotional toll that harass-
ment has taken.
“You can take pro-active
steps to make it harder to
manager, set up two-factor
authentication for accounts DRESS REHEARSAL
and consider using a ser-
vice that deletes their per-
sonal information from the
internet. In case of harass-
ment, reporters should
get offline, tell their boss
or colleagues and not re-
spond to the trolls.
Other advice includes
conducting regular search-
es to see what information
appears online about a
journalist and their fam-
ilies. Social media plat-
forms should be contacted
to delete posts that attack,
threaten or use personal in-
formation without consent,
CPJ said. Journalists were
advised to document offen-
sive posts.
One hindrance to re-
porters, either real or imag-
ined, is the sense that they
should toughen out such
attacks or ignore them.
The CPJ also recom-
mended ways for journal-
ists who work alone in the
field to protect themselves. Deanna Robinson/Dispatch Staff

Federal judge intervenes in Mississippi mental health system

The Associated Press
JACKSON — A federal
judge will appoint an expert to
oversee changes to Mississip-
pi’s mental health system, say-
ing that attorneys for the fed-
eral government have proved
the state is doing too little to
serve people outside the con-
finement of mental hospitals.
“The United States has met
its burden and shown that
despite the state’s episodic
improvement, it operates a
system that unlawfully dis-
criminates against persons
with serious mental illness,”
U.S. District Judge Carlton
Reeves wrote late Tuesday in a
ruling on a federal lawsuit.
Reeves wrote that he’s
“keenly aware of the judicia-
ry’s limitations” in cases like
this. He ordered the state and
federal government to each
suggest three possible names
to act as a special master,
along with a proposal for that
person’s role.
Until Reeves decides on
the special master’s role, the
depth of federal intervention
into the mental health system
won’t be clear.
It’s also unclear if the state
will appeal the ruling, but law-
yers appeared to be laying the
grounds for an appeal during a
monthlong trial this summer.
Mississippi Attorney Gen-
eral Jim Hood’s office defend-
ed the state in the lawsuit. On
Wednesday, Hood said Missis-
sippi’s mental health agency
does what it can with a limited
budget, and he sharply criti-
cized lawmakers for not put-
ting millions more dollars into
community-based services.
He said that starting in 2013,
he sent several letters to top
lawmakers, including Lt. Gov.
Tate Reeves, telling them the
state was at risk of being sued
over mental health care. Hood
said his office had collected
tens of millions of dollars in
settlements from unrelated
lawsuits, and legislators ig-
nored his suggestion that they
use that money to improve
mental health care.
“They buried their heads
in the sand. That’s what Tate
Reeves has done,” said Hood,
who is the Democratic nomi-
nee for governor and will face
Tate Reeves — the Republican
nominee and no relation to
Carlton Reeves — in the Nov.
5 election.
Tate Reeves campaign
spokesman Parker Briden re-
sponded: “Like the rest of the
national Democrats, Hood
will find a way to blame Re-
publicans for every problem
under the sun for the next two
months.”
Hood said he did not yet
have a suggestion who should
serve as special master or
what that person should do.
“It’s just another situation
where we have to fix a prob-
lem that the federal court has
ordered us to do,” Hood said.
“Many of us don’t like a feder-
al court telling us what to do.
I don’t like it. We ought to fix
our own problems before a fed-
eral court has to step in.”
The U.S. Justice Depart-
ment argued that Mississippi’s
movement toward community
services was far too slow, forc-
ing hundreds or thousands of
people into avoidable hospital
stays. Judge Reeves found that
Mississippi is violating the
Americans with Disabilities
Act, as well as a 1999 U.S. Su-
preme Court decision that said
“unjustified” mental hospital
confinement is illegal.
The judge rejected Missis-
sippi’s arguments that it was
progressing on its own and
that a judge couldn’t find it in
violation. He wrote that the law
and court decisions “protect
persons trapped in a snail’s-
pace deinstitutionalization.”
“The United States’ experts
provided dozens of examples
of individuals who were un-
necessarily hospitalized or
hospitalized too long because
they were excluded from com-
munity-based services,” the
judge wrote.
The federal government
catalogued a litany of alleged
transgressions during the tri-
al, including mentally ill peo-
ple held in jails because crisis
teams don’t respond; people
forced to live far from their
family because services aren’t
available in their hometowns;
and people who make repeat
trips to state mental hospitals
because there’s no effective
planning for them to transition
to community services and
the most intensive kinds of
services aren’t made available.
The federal judge said that
even in some cases where
community-bases services are
supposed to be available, that
availability is illusory. He cit-
ed the case of Adams County,
whose sheriff testified that the
regional community mental
health center doesn’t respond
to his calls.
“Geographic availabili-
ty does not always translate
into true accessibility,” Judge
Reeves wrote.
Joy Hogge, director of men-
tal health advocacy group
Families As Allies, said it’s
been clear since 2011, when
Mississippi was cited by the
federal government, that it
was violating the law.
“I hope this will be an op-
portunity for our state to look
at how the system should be
structured ... so that all of the
parts work together and so
that we don’t have the gaps
that lead to the problems that
were referenced in the ruling,”
Hogge said Wednesday.

Immigration agency sets new contract with Miss. prison

The Associated Press
NATCHEZ — A privately run
prison in Mississippi says it has a
new five-year contract with U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforce-
ment.
The Natchez Democrat reported
that the Adams County Correction-
al Center, operated by CoreCivic,
says the contract will add 50 jobs,
and provide the county with about
50 cents per inmate per day, which
could boost county revenue by
$400,000 a year.
Some of the people arrested in
immigration raids at Mississip-
pi chicken processing plants last
month are being held in the prison
outside Natchez.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons
had said in May that it would not
renew its contract for the 2,232-bed
prison. Without a contract, more
than 390 jobs were at risk of being
lost.
“Ultimately, we were able to re-
tain one of our largest employers
as well as one of our largest taxpay-
ers,” said Chandler Russ, who runs
the Natchez Inc. economic develop-
ment agency. “It is a huge win for
us.”
Russ said the new contract calls
for about 425 CoreCivic employees
— 35 more jobs than were called
for in the previous contract with
the Bureau of Prisons. ICE also
will create 25 to 30 new positions
locally. Previously, the Bureau of
Prisons had two to four employees,
Russ said.
Russ said that the prison pays
roughly $2 million in taxes annual-
ly, including revenue for the school
district.
Before Tuesday’s announce-
ment, the prison was holding 600
adult ICE detainees under an
amended contract with the Feder-
al Bureau of Prisons that expired
Friday, the CoreCivic news release
said.
CoreCivic said it anticipates ICE
will soon begin using additional
space at the facility under the new
contract.

Mississippi city to
spend $278K on police
equipment upgrades
LAUREL — A city
in south Mississippi is
spending money to up-
grade its police equip-
ment.
WDAM-TV reports
that the Laurel City Coun-
cil voted Tuesday to give
the city’s police depart-
ment about $278,000.
About $258,000 will go
toward upgrading stun
guns and body cameras
during the next five years.
The other $20,000 will
be to get every officer a
new handgun.
Laurel Police Chief
Tommy Cox says he
doesn’t see how any po-
lice department can work
without body cameras.
He says the body cameras
are better than the dash-
board cameras that the
department used in the
past.
Mississippi man
charged in death of
missing woman
BROOKHAVEN — A
Mississippi man has been
charged with first-degree
murder in the death of a
missing woman whose
body was found near the
Homochitto National For-
est last month.
News outlets report
Dan White was arrested
this week in the death
of 60-year-old Dianne
Richardson McMorris.
Authorities have said Mc-
Morris was last seen alive
by her family on Aug. 19.
A body was found days
later in a ditch near the
national forest. DNA test-
ing determined it to be
McMorris.
A cause of death hasn’t
been determined, and it’s
unclear if authorities have
uncovered a motive in the
slaying. It also is unclear
who found the body.
White also has been
charged with burglary of
an occupied dwelling and
unlawful possession of a
motor vehicle. It’s unclear
if he has a lawyer.
Greenwood getting
higher tax rate and
smaller city budget
GREENWOOD — A
city in the Mississippi
Delta is increasing its tax
rate by 4% for 2019-2020
fiscal year, beginning
Oct. 1.
The Greenwood Com-
monwealth reports the
Greenwood City Council
approved the increase
Tuesday. The rate will rise
from 50.26 mills to 52.25
mills. A mill in Green-
wood is worth $109,000.
A 2-mill increase would
generate about $218,000
in revenue
Greenwood’s gener-
al-fund budget for the
coming year will be just
under $12.1 million. That
is a decrease from the
current budget of almost
$12.2 million.
Mayor Carolyn McAd-
ams said it would be nec-
essary to raise taxes to
continue providing city
services.
McAdams says city
residents will pay 44 mills
for the Greenwood Leflo-
re Consolidated School
District. That is 12 mills,
or 21%, lower than they
paid for the former Green-
wood School District.

Our View

Corporations should honor good faith deals with the community

Since the turn of the centu-
ry, fee-in-lieu agreements have
been a tool for bringing manu-
facturing and other industries
to the Golden Triangle.
Under fee-in-lieu agree-
ments businesses are taxed
at one-third of their full ad
valorem for 10 years.
It has been a great thing for
our community, bringing in
new industry and jobs. It has
also been good for the com-
panies, too, enabling them to
bear a smaller portion of their
tax burden during construc-
tion, start up and development
of their enterprises.
But in some cases, it’s been
too good.
Recently, there have been
instances where companies
have performed some bait-
and-switch maneuvers that
have allowed them to avoid
paying full taxes when the
10-year agreement expires. In
2017, Steel Dynamics shifted
its inventory from one phase
whose fee-in-lieu agreement
expired to its Phase 4 develop-
ment, whose fee-in-lieu does
not expire until 2026.
There was nothing illegal
about this move, but it does
seem to violate the spirit of the
agreement, which is offered as
a good-faith measure extend-
ed by the community.
This week, we see another
example.
Lowndes County tax asses-
sor Greg Andrews this week
said he plans to reassess Cale-
donia Energy Partners next
year after he received infor-
mation from both the company
and federal regulators that
indicated the company had
been shorting the county on
taxes.
Caledonia Energy, under
the Enstor umbrella, entered
a fee-in-lieu agreement with
county in 2006, valuing its
natural gas storage business
at $101 million. For the 10-
year fee-in-lieu, the company
paid about $500,000 annually
through 2016. In 2017 and
2018, when full taxes kicked
in, it paid about $1.1 million
each year.
Shortly after the fee-in-lieu
expired, Enstar sold Caledonia
Energy to its parent company,
ArcLite, for a deeply discount-
ed price. ArcLite then leased
it back to Enstor and assigned
a value of $20.5 million for the
same property that had been
valued at $101 million just 10
years earlier.
Andrews said there were
other misstatements offered
by the company seemingly in
an effort to decrease its tax
burden, thus taking dollars
away from the community.
For 2019, Andrews set the
assessment at $66 million,
which seems more than fair.
The company appealed, but
did not follow through with
the challenge to the assess-
ment when a hearing was
called.
It’s disturbing to see these
kinds of practices. If compa-
nies are serious about being
good corporate neighbors,
they’ll honor these fee-in-lieu
agreements rather than look-
ing for ways to exploit them.
Especially when they’ve
been extended public incen-
tives, corporations should
resist playing shell games to
avoid paying the taxes the rest
of us are expected to pay.

Amphitheater concerns
The term “dead in the water” might apply to
the Amphitheater. The Dispatch stated on July
23, 2015: “Columbus planning for Amphithe-
ater.” Since then our fair city along with grants,
restaurant taxes and various other funds, spent $3
million on the project. It is far from completion,
no seating, rest room or concession stands. A visit
to the place recently showed vandals had graffiti
on the brick work, trash everywhere and a door
pried open. I guess the public works department
didn’t have a work order on the project. Now the
question is, what to do with the $3 million dollar
investment? It has been flooded, even though we

Noxubee County defensive lineman Travorus Hatcher prepares to get off the line quickly during Friday’s game against Columbus.

Tigers star Hatcher living up to cousin Jeffery

Simmons’ standard — and his jersey number
By Theo DeRosa
tderosa@cdispatch.com
MACON — Travorus
Hatcher, fresh out of Nox-
ubee County’s postgame
huddle, looked surprised
when an unfamiliar voice
called his number from
some 15 yards away.
“Hey, 94!” Columbus
assistant coach James
Richardson yelled as he
crossed the sodden turf
to talk to the player who
had just led the charge in
beating the Falcons. The
junior defensive lineman
bulldozed his way into the
end zone for two rushing
touchdowns and ensured
the Tigers pitch their sec-
ond straight shutout in
as many games en route
to a 18-0 win Friday in
Macon.
“You looked fantas-
tic,” Richardson told
Hatcher, who broke into
a smile. The two talk-
ed a while longer — “he
just told me he knew my
mama,” Hatcher said —
then shook hands and
parted.
Hatcher is far from the
first player wearing the
94 jersey to steal the show
for Noxubee County. For-
mer Noxubee County and
Mississippi State star Jef-
fery Simmons, picked by
the Tennessee Titans in
the first round of April’s
NFL draft, was the most
recent — and he’s Hatch-
er’s cousin.
So when Hatcher was
issued the 94, he knew he
had “a lot of shoes to fill.”
“When they gave me
94, it’s not an ordinary
number,” Hatcher said.
“94 has a lot behind it.”
A high standard
Thanks to Simmons,
the Noxubee County No.
94 jersey has two state
championships, countless
school records and the
first NFL first-round pick
since 1985 to its credit.
That’s a tough act to fol-
low.
“You’re wearing that 94,
you’ve got a lot of pressure
on you,” Noxubee County
coach Teddy Young said.
According to Simmons,
Hatcher was more than
ready for the pressure.
“He was like, man, ‘I
want to wear that number,’
and once he got it, I knew
he was going to live up to
the standard of that num-
ber,” said Simmons, stand-
ing on the Tigers’ sideline
while he watched Hatcher
wreak havoc against Co-
lumbus. “We take a lot of
pride in 94 — my brother,
then me, now him wearing
that number.”
Hatcher knows he can
live up to the high expecta-
tions set for him. But Sim-
mons may be even more
confident in Hatcher than
Hatcher is in himself.
“He sees something
about myself that I don’t
see,” Hatcher said. “Every
day, I try to figure out what
he sees in me that I don’t
see.”
‘God made a gift to me’
Simmons shows his
faith in his little cousin
and his old school as much
as he can. While at MSU,
he made it to as many Nox-
ubee County games as
he could. He drove down
from Nashville to watch
Hatcher and another cous-
in, Ja’Shaun Hatcher, play
in Friday’s game. He even
gave a halftime speech to
the Tigers, who went on
to complete their second
straight shutout win.
“I think he’ll still be
great for this team,” Young
said. “Kids still look up to
him.”
Simmons noted that he
doesn’t come back just to
show off being in the NFL.

Starkville brings potent offense into matchup with West Point Dawgs’ receivers

STARKVILLE — against him,” Jones said.
There was a palpable buzz
amongst the Starkville
High School football team
Wednesday afternoon.
As Yellow Jacket play-
ers milled around the
weight room, they dart-
ed through doors, made
lighthearted jokes at
each other’s expense and
gathered in coach Chris
Jones’ office to shoot the
breeze.
Things were seeming-
ly back to normal.

calls and a rigid Bulldog

STARKVILLE —
There was a look of legit-
imate surprise in Tommy
Stevens’ eyes.
Just minutes after
walking off the field fol-
lowing last Saturday’s
win over Louisiana, he
was informed he had
targeted junior receiv-
er Osirus Mitchell nine
times that afternoon.
“Really?” he said,
almost puzzled. “Hon-
estly, I didn’t know. I’m
shocked.”
The number shouldn’t
have come as a major
surprise. Mitchell was
among a corps of receiv-
ers who practiced with
Stevens after-hours in
the Palmeiro Center
during the offseason.
And though high tar-
get and catch rate was
encouraging, it was more
an indictment on Missis-
sippi State’s inclination
to find favorable match-
ups in employing their
deep receiving corps.
In MSU’s 38-28 sea-
son opening win, nine
receivers caught a pass
from Stevens — who fin-
ished the afternoon 20-
of-30 with 236 yards and
two touchdowns.
Of note, Mitchell fin-
ished the day with six
catches on nine targets,
while senior Stephen
Guidry notched four re-

fore Noxubee County’s games, tell-
ing his cousin to “go out and play
hard.”
“He said God made a gift to me,
so I’ve gotta work hard,” Hatcher
said. “He believes in me, and I’m
not trying to let him down.”
Two games into his junior sea-
son, Hatcher has done anything but
let Simmons down. He’s the guy the
Tigers trust most to punch the ball
into the end zone, and he makes
routine appearances in opposing
backfields.
Just like his cousin.
“He showed a lot of resem-
blance,” Young said. “He’s got a lot
of room for improvement. The sky’s
the limit for the kid. He’s just gotta
keep working, keep working hard.”
Getting the call
For Simmons, that hard work
paid off April 25, when the Bull-
dogs’ star hosted a family get-to-
ders” when he was picked 19th
overall by Tennessee, Simmons
said.
Hatcher, who was there when
Simmons got the call, said the mo-
ment was worth the wait.
“I really had fun when he got
drafted because of just what we
came from, Macon, you know,”
Hatcher said. “It’s gonna change
his life.”
Not long from now, it could
change Hatcher’s life, too.
The junior isn’t drawing any re-
cruiting interest yet, but he’s plan-
ning on it.
“I’m really not worried about it,”
Hatcher said. “They’ll find me later
on.”
Among his goals for 2020 are
recording at least 12 sacks — he’s
well on his way — earning an invite
to the All-American Bowl and sign-
ing with a Division I college.
And he could be the next NFL

Starkville before eventually head-
ing back to Macon. He’s glad he
returned.
“I talked it over with my family,
and now I’m back, putting on for my
hometown,” Hatcher said. “Coming
back, playing for Noxubee, I won’t
ever have a second choice.”
With the Tigers ranked third in
Class 3A, Simmons said the time is
now for his cousin to bring home an-
other state championship.
“I know him, and I know he likes
to win,” Simmons said. “Our family
likes to win. We hate losing. What-
ever it is it takes to win, he’ll do
what it takes.”
Hatcher certainly has the drive
to lead the Tigers to a state title.
He’s got the talent. He’s got the sup-
port. He’s got the 94, too.
With all that on his side, he knows
he can make Simmons proud.

quarter — and senior
Deddrick Thomas caught
two passes of his own.
“I trust whoever is run-
ning the route,” Stevens
said. “I’m trusting them
to get open and give them
a chance to make a play.”
Prior to his arrival, Ste-
vens was around plenty of
wildly productive receiv-
ers at Penn State. Dae-
Sean Hamilton, tight end
Mike Gesicki and Chris
Godwin are all playing
the NFL. Juwan Johnson
— who transferred to Or-
egon this season — could
join that contingent in the
spring.
And though Stevens
has been surrounded by
diverse talents and skill-
sets in the past, this year’s
MSU receiving corps is
different.
It’s been a sticking
point that Moorhead’s re-
ceivers learn multiple po-
sitions since he arrived in
Starkville. He concedes a
few are locked at certain
spots given their mea-
surements but weapons
like Williams, Thomas,
JUCO product JaVonta
Payton and Kansas State
transfer Isaiah Zuber
are all capable of playing
any of the three receiver
spots.
Given this versatility,
Moorhead is able to ex-
ploit mismatches along
the defensive front.
“I guess that’s kind of
the way the system rolls,”
Stevens said. “Obviously
we have matchups that
we like to see and go after
during situations, but a lot
of talent in that room and
there’s a high expectation
for everyone that’s out
there.”

in-home care and then to an

I have recently taken a

DEAR ABBY: After 47 years

me. This had never happened
before, so I was left feeling
very confused and sad. A year
later, I accidentally dialed her
number, and she answered.
We talked as if no time had
passed.
She told me I had hurt her
feelings. It wasn’t intentional,
and I apologized. Some time
later, she told me she’d call me
back, but she didn’t. I clearly
recall our last conversation,
and I didn’t say anything that
would’ve hurt her.
It has been two years, and
I haven’t attempted to contact

friendship over? — HURTING,

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
may not have control over who

can at least control who you
voluntarily spend time with on
the day to day. Make plans to

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
If you’re feeling reserved, don’t
worry. For one thing, it puts
an attractive glow of mystery
around you. And furthermore,
people really should have to
earn you trust before you let
them too far in.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Games are favored. Of course,
you can make anything into a
game because you’re clever and
sporty that way. Why should all
the competition happen on a
subconscious level? It’s more
fun to bring it out into the open.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). For reasons that are too
complex to worry about, some
people carry a bit of chaos with
them wherever they go. Instead
of letting this surprise you every
time, you accept this as a given
and create ingenious work-
arounds.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). There are things that a
professional can provide that
friends and family, well-meaning
as they may be, will only mess
up. It’s better to take a cash
risk than a relationship risk.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). It’s life’s events we learn
from, not the years themselves.
The more events you pack into
the weeks to come, the more
opportunities for growth you’ll
have.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You’re worried that if you
splurge on yourself, there will
be consequences. Maybe your
enjoyment won’t be worth the
expense, or perhaps others will
judge. The thing is, what you’re
calling a splurge is actually a
basic need.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Most people don’t listen
well, and if you punish them for
this, they’ll only be self-con-
scious about it, and communi-
cation will be further shut down.
Expect to pleasantly repeat
yourself and eventually the
message will get in.

Business
College students, make the most of your summer earnings
NerdWallet
What you do with your
paychecks in college can
affect your financial life
long after you toss your
graduation cap. By saving
money and repaying debt
now, you’re doing Future
You a huge favor.
Of course, you need to
take care of Present You,
too. Set aside what you’ve
budgeted for this year’s
expenses that aren’t cov-
ered by financial aid or
family contributions. And
give yourself a high-five
for making money in the
first place.
If you have money left
over or come into extra
cash — thanks for the
birthday check, Grand-
ma! — here are a few
ideas of what to do next.
Keep in mind that every-
one’s financial situation
is different, so some tips
may be more relevant to
you than others.
Build an
emergency fund
Stash some of your
earnings in a high-yield
savings account that
should be tapped only
to cover unexpected ex-
penses, like a car repair.
(In a high-yield savings
account, your money will
earn more interest than
in a traditional account —
and you’ll still be able to
easily withdraw or trans-
fer money when you have
to pay for that new trans-
mission.)
If you’ve earned a lot
and can drop $500 into
the account, you’re off
to a solid start. Or if it’s
more realistic to gradu-
ally build those savings
— say, by automatically
transferring $10 a month
to it from your checking
account — you’ll still be
in better shape than if you
had no fund at all.
Without an emergen-
cy fund, you’d likely have
to borrow money to cov-
er curveballs, says Lynn
Ballou, certified financial
planner and senior vice
president and partner
with EP Wealth Advisors
in Lafayette, California.
“Those who end up in fi-
nancial trouble at whatev-
er point in life are those
that have no emergency
savings,” she says.
Pay down
high-interest debt
Pay some of your extra
earnings toward high-in-
terest debts, like those
that may come from
credit cards or personal
loans. You’ll save money
on interest, and you’ll be
headed toward a healthier
credit score. Plus, as Bal-
lou puts it, you don’t want
to start your adult life
digging out of a financial
hole.
If you don’t have these
kinds of debts, consider
beginning to pay off stu-
dent loans if you’re able,
says Erin Lowry , author
of “Broke Millennial: Stop
Scraping By and Get Your
Financial Life Together.”
As long as you’re enrolled
in school, there’s no pen-
alty for starting to pay
your loans and then stop-
ping. So it’s OK to pay a
little bit every month or
a single lump sum after a
fruitful summer gig, Low-
ry says.

ance, furniture and utili-
ties. Other expenses may
include a car and a profes-
sional wardrobe.
To get a sense of how
much to save, Lowry rec-
ommends researching
the cost of living wherever
you plan to live. (Make an
educated guess if you’re
not sure yet.)
Spend a bit on yourself
Saving is important,
but so is living life. As
Lowry puts it: “Money is
a tool that’s meant to be
used, and you can’t con-
stantly focus on the fu-
ture.”
You’re about as free as
you’re ever going to be if
you don’t have kids, pets,
mortgage payments or
a salaried job. So Ballou
suggests using this time
and some of your earnings
to travel. “You’ll never
ever get an employer who
will tell you, ‘You know
what, I think you deserve
a gap year,’” she says.
