Buying Wasn’t Always Right for Me

March 27th, 2009 . by admin

I bought my home for our family, because the renting became more expensive and less convenient. I rented properties for most of my adult life. However, it was always a game. You’d get pulled into a nice apartment or townhouse for a good monthly rate. But, that rate would always jump after the first year. The landlords seemed to assume that they could get the money out of you, because of the inconvenience of moving. More often than not a person off the street could rent an apartment at the same time for less than me. The end result was that I usually moved every year. That is until I got married and the logistics of moving the two of us and everything else (furniture and furnishings grow exponentially when you get married) became daunting. I had to weigh that significant inconvenience against some things I hate about home ownership including the constant maintenance and property taxes. A home, whether old or new, requires constant maintenance. Maintenance includes simple things going wrong, lawn care, and things like storm damage. That means time and money, but at least you have the option of spending more to have someone do it and save time or do it yourself and save money. Anyone considering home ownership needs to take the maintenance aspect seriously. Property taxes are one of my most hatest things. The fact that they exist tells me that you never truly own your land and really your home; because if you don’t pay them the government will take your land and home. I hope those that don’t have property taxes appreciate it. People trying to sell you on buying real estate will often look at how much you’ll pay over the course of your life. Yet they don’t factor in all things — for example, most people don’t live in the same place for the rest of their lives. They also don’t factor in realistic maintenance costs that you wouldn’t have when you rent. However, at some point you’ll likely be in the circumstance I was in where home ownership was the right choice.

Sending Invitations

March 27th, 2009 . by admin

I guess I’m in a hurry a lot. I don’t really have time for things like hand-writing invitations to things, even if it’s the fill-in-the-blank kind of invitations. So, I usually buy invitation computer paper and come up with a fancy invitation on my computer during my lunch break. I save the file to a flash drive and then print the invitations out when I get home. Not only does that save me time and energy, but the invitations look professional too. I can even print out the envelopes so I don’t have to write down all of those addresses! Can you believe it? Seriously, if you have to send invitations, that is the way to go.


Deck Cleaning Is Part Of Keeping The House Clean

March 27th, 2009 . by admin

I have told my children to take off their shoes when they come in the house. Since it is now spring, mud is a part of most days. It rains, it is muddy, and it might dry up a little before it rains again. I spent so much time sweeping and so I made the rule. Then I noticed that I was spending so much time sweeping the deck. I thought that the same rule would be good for the deck also. I do not want to spend so much time deck cleaning. So now they take off their shoes at the steps to the deck and carry them to the house.


Diagnosis and Treating Thryoid Problems

I know that I am not the only person cutting back on expenses. One such expense I cut down on was my medical insurance and I have to pay a lot of money if I go to see the doctor for a minor ache or pain.  Only the big problems are covered. So, before I rush out to the doctor I have been doing some research on my aches and pains and I see that it may be contributed to by a thyroid problem. If this is the case I will try some home thyroid remedies and see if I can’t solve this on my own.
