Do you feel cheated that people who made $30,000 a year were able to drive that decent $400,000 starter home you’ve been saving up for to over $800,000? Now you’re stuck paying someone else’s mortgage and hoping that you’ll be able to afford a decent condo one [...]
There was a time around 2005-2006 that anyone who wasn't buying a home was called a "chump." I remember being harangued by friends with newly acquired real estate licenses and 28 year olds with four investment properties: "Housing prices will never fall!" and "You're throwing your money away by renting."
Over the past week, so much has been thrown back and forth over the “bitter” comments Senator Obama made about small town Americans in Pennsylvania. When I first heard of this while flipping through the radio news circuit, I wondered to myself, “what in the world did he say?” Bitter this and bitter [...]Related Posts:■Real Homes of Genius: Today We Salute you Huntington Park.

Why Renter's Need Insurance and How to Choose the Right Policy The first time most people think about insurance is with their first car or home. Usually this is because the law or bank requires us to do so. Although renter's insurance is usually not required, it is just as necessary to have.

Således kan 10.000 kroner efter principperne om renters rente vokse sig til 174.479 kr. efter 30 år ved et årligt afkast på 10 pct. Mens de 10.000 kroner med et årligt afkast på 15 pct. kan blive til 662.120 på 30 år. Se også indlægget Aktier: Et illustrativt eksempel på afkastet for at se, hvordan principperne fungerer i et faktisk aktie-univers.
En god tommelfinger-regel at huske pÃ¥ som langsigtet aktie-investor er den “gyldne 72 regel”. Med reglen kan man hurtigt regne ud, hvor mange Ã¥r det tager at fordobble værdien af en investering. Det sker ved at dividere 72 med den forrentning, som man regner med at fÃ¥ ud af investeringen. Resultatet bliver antallet af Ã¥r, som det
With the aberration of housing prices rising as they did last month, renter savings dropped a little month on month, but are still extremely strong at over $70,000 since June last year.

So all things considered, the savings we've incurred are actually up month over month. More good news for be

This week’s roomie is Janie of Colloquium. If you’re a participant of the Carnival of Family Life, her name may sound familiar to you. She recently hosted an edition at her site.
When I found out that she wanted to spend some time on the island, I was thrilled! We met through the carnival and she’s become a regular around here ever since.
She’s a civil rights attorney and a talented musician. You should see the list of instruments she plays. I can’t even read a single note!
