People Who Understand Money Say, “Buy A House”

People who understand money say now is the time to buy a house.  The Wall Street Jounal said it a few weeks ago. “It’s Time To Buy That House”

Why should you buy?  First, home prices are back to prices in 2006 and some areas of the Chicago land market you can find prices that mirror prices from 2000.  Second, Interest rates are affordable.

Check out the Wall Street Journal article on what people who understand money are saying about buying a home.

Back to School at Home

By now most kids have already started the new school year.  When school is in session our children begin a new routine at school.  They are more organized at school.  So why not take this opportunity to get them involved in making your home organized.  We are all creatures of habit.  If we don’t stay in a routine things get out of order at our places of work and at home.   Since the kids are learning new routines at school create a routine that they can follow during the school year that will continue for the rest of their life.

Let me tell you, it is not easy.  When Lauren and Jonathan come home the first thing they do is throw their backpacks anywhere.  Drives me crazy.  But everyday I have them eat a snack get started on homework then take their things to their rooms.  In the beginning, you will feel like you are doing all of the work. But in the end, kids will eventually learn a new habit.  Don’t just stop at the backpacks extend your plan out for the entire house. From cleaning and dusting everyroom to creating a chore chart.

Try it!  You will find freedom in your new cleaner organized home.  Consider this, when you get ready to sell your house the preparation process will be so much simpler.

Create your plan of action and tell me be about.
