"What seems to have helped me in those times has been to have a regular consistent monthly plan where you try to knock out some of the smaller bills which should eventually help you to pay more on the bigger ones as we knock out a bill or two. Another thing is to put a sticky note on each envelope to be mailed with a date approximately a week before due date to make sure bills get there on time and not incur late fees or rate increases if we fail to keep up paying at least the minimum. Be it car payment or credit card, anything extra that can be paid on a bill balance can feel like a small victory. Maybe one day things will go back to normal where we can feel free to do a little extra without feeling like your spending isn’t pushing you further away from striking distance."

**BROADCAST ANNOUNCEMENT**

NFHS is no longer a bad word in Sulphur Springs! After weeks of negotiations, we are excited to announce our partnership with the NFHS Network. The NFHS Network has contracted with the Texas UIL, partnered with Dave Campbell's Texas Football, and now with Chad’s Media. We are thrilled about this opportunity and wanted to thank each and every one of our viewers and broadcast advertisers. This news will place our advertisers in even MORE households and ensure their ads are shown to a much larger audience than our current reach. Please note, you can still watch all regular season games on the Chad's Media YouTube channel as well as on facebook without a subscription to the NFHS Network, however, you will need a subscription to watch post season play.

This agreement will allow us to cover all Sulphur Springs High School varsity-level sports throughout the playoffs. In the past, we have been cut short after one or two rounds of playoff action, but this ensures us the opportunity to bring YOU a well-produced broadcast by Korey Hankins, with great camera angles and play-by-play commentary from two of the best, Tyler Lennon and Ryan Humphries, along with a crew that loves delivering the best to SS fans, week in and week out. We have a portal through NFHS where you can sign up to watch postseason play.

It’s important to know that NOTHING is changing during our regular season games, other than the NFHS Network may choose to use any of our games on their paid platform. This elevates our reach for our advertisers and expands the impact of SS sports throughout the state of Texas. You will need a subscription through NFHS for playoff games, but NOT for regular season games. We will continue to bring you high-level broadcasts during the regular season at NO CHARGE.

We are excited about what this means for our community, our fans, the young people who work so hard at their craft, and our beloved advertisers who make it all possible.

Thank you for your support and your continued love for all things Sulphur Springs. Here is the link for our portal with NFHS. Feel free to sign up with them, knowing that we will have plenty of sports in the playoffs this year; you won’t miss a second of the action! AGAIN, YOU DO NOT NEED TO SUBSCRIBE TO CONTINUE WATCHING OUR BROADCAST EACH WEEK, ONLY WHEN THE PLAYOFFS BEGIN.

To sign up now to make sure you don't miss any SS sports playoff games, click here https://www.nfhsnetwork.com/affiliates/chads-media
