Avoid Being “House Poor” by Taking These 4 Steps

We’ve all heard cautionary tales of new homeowners who have ended up “ house poor .” Yes, their homes may be gorgeous and enviable, but that asset is all they have. But in reality, they’re struggling to afford their homes and live their lives comfortably. And, if there’s one thing you don’t want to do as a buyer, it’s to find yourself in a similar position. Here are the steps you can take during your home search to ensure you find a home that works with your wallet and keeps you comfortably in your budget: 1. Shop below your maximum pre-approval amount Once you go through the process of getting pre-approved , you’ll receive a letter that states how much money the lender is willing to loan you. Many buyers, especially those who haven’t bought before, make the mistake of shopping for homes up to that amount. In reality, this figure is not a suggested price range. It’s the absolute maximum you’re allowed to borrow. You don’t have to spend that much, and in fact,

How to Survive a Home Renovation on a Small Budget

Source: https://pixabay.com/en/building-destroyed-destruction-1030838/ Home renovation is something that all of us need to go through at some point in our lives. Keeping in mind that it’s not something that most of us have experience doing, it’s very easy for us to get distracted, frustrated and for the outcome to be worse than we originally planned for. Since nobody wants to end up going that path, the operation of home renovation is indeed something that needs to be very well planned ahead. Overcoming financial problems along the way is never a good idea and you should be aware of the expenses associated. Remotely knowing what you want your house to look like after renovation in most cases won’t be enough. You will need to be as detailed as possible (especially with so many handymen and workers around the house that don’t share the same vision or level of creativity as you do). But, before everything, you will need to take care of… Where Will You Stay During

How To Get Your Child In The Mood for Reading?

A quick break from all these over-the-top weddings and jammed-pack social calendar I had for August. Ha! Last June, Chloe started preschool and our day-to-day activities consist of tidying up writings on the wall, washing only one pair of uniform, constant nagging while organizing books or coloring pens scattered on the floor, looking for the other pair of socks and our most favorite part - practicing our writing and reading skills. Gone are the days of sleeping in past 10pm and just lying on the bed watching toy reviews on YouTube while mommy updates her social media posts and stories. Gone are the weekends spend in the park or just playing in the mall while mommy does her shopping. Too much happening for the past 3 months (mostly school related) and the rainy weather, to say it bluntly, is not encouraging. Thankfully, we made plans for the beach on the 21st to relax and make up for the lost family time. This lightens the vibes a little bit. However, going to

Here Are Absolutely Stunning Under $500 Gowns For Your I do Moments

Hola September! Speaking of wedding, I was completely blown away but what has been the ultimate influencer move I've seen on the first day of September. This month started on a swoon-worthy and an extravagant wedding of one of my favorite Italian blogger - Chiara Ferragni and just looking at those pictures induced an Instagram envy among us. The Blonde Salad star wore not one but three stunning and luxurious wedding dresses for the weekend festivities.  But don't fret, you don't have to be a billionaire to do the same. I've rounded up a few under $500 wedding dresses for your magical moment and look spectacular without burning holes in your pocket. Because well, we don't have all Chiara Ferragni's bank account balance.  And you can find all these elegant yet affordable wedding dresses at Suzhoudress.com .

Plus a special 25$ gift card from Amazon just by following my giveaway below.

How to Buy a Prom Dress on the Internet | Extra Safe

For a working mom like me, whose job and passion are highly-dependent on the digital universe, it's hard to imagine the world without the internet. I used it on a daily basis to communicate to people: check on my kid at school, pay my bills, book a ticket, skim the news, grab a ride, watch movies, read a book and shop for literally everything. Believe it or not, online shopping is part of my family's goal of automating everything.  With Chloe heading to kindergarten and a huge shift to our normal routine, having everything delivered to us (yep including groceries) can carve out significant hours towards quality family time. But the digital world can be a dangerous place for  scam and identity theft.  And online shopping can be a risky habit. One minute you're checking email and the next moment you're in an online shop with two or more products in your shopping cart. What's worse is when you have no idea about the stores' online buying process.
