I met with a Realtor who advised me to talk to a mortgage lender

I met with a Realtor who advised me to talk to a mortgage lender. I spent a few moments with the lender who asked me questions about my income and my debts and assets. We also talked about, based on my income, the size of my monthly mortgage payments and how much I could comfortably invest every month in a home. She was then able to tell me the price range of homes that would be affordable for me. To my surprise, the price range the mortgage lender suggested to me was a bit lower than the neighborhood I was looking in. Actually, it was substantially lower! All the time I had spent going to open houses, driving around neighborhoods and reading the newspaper was wasted. I was able to regroup and start looking in different areas for my new home, but I wonder how many great homes were bought up by people who knew what they were looking for while I was out spinning my wheels?

Pre-Qualifying For A Home Loan

Pre-Qualifying For A Home Loan
Once you have decided to invest in a new home, before you actually go out looking, you should call the mortgage lender. Let me tell you a story from my personal experience. When I started to look for my first home, I assumed that I could certainly afford to live in the same neighborhood that my folks lived in and where they raised me so I started looking at open houses in that area. I spent a good deal of time researching the available properties and finding exactly the types of homes I was looking for. When I felt I had all the information I needed.

Time and money saved by not going to the Laundromat

Time and money saved by not going to the Laundromat: A small point, but if you have kids, you know the value of this one. You gain a whole evening a week when you buy a house! The wash gets done in between other things, or while you’re at work. What would you do with the extra evening you’ll have? How about going out for dessert with all those quarters?

Each temporary employee cost Matt $12.00 per
hour; a total of $288.00 per day or $1,440.00 per

found the temporary employees did not relieve his staff
of the heavy workload. Although this was a good idea
in "theory," however, when Matt put it into practice he
had forgot one thing: the temporary employees had no
knowledge of his clients. In order to get the answers to
the client's questions, the temporary employee had to
call the paralegal. The paralegal had to stop what he
or she was doing, give the temporary employee the
information, which was then passed on to the client.
Matt found this procedure was not freeing up any time

At this point, Matt finally realized he had a major
problem on his hands that needed to be fixed immediately. What had looked good on the surface was falling
apart internally. The first "quick fix" that Matt could
think of was to hire three temporary full-time employees to answer the phones so they would not go to
voicemail. He knew the financial burden of hiring these
temporary workers would cut into his profits. However,
he only intended to keep them employed for a short
period of time. He had hoped hiring them would
provide him with the extra time he needed to
contemplate his next move.

It is important to state your trading objectives and goals to achieve.

It is important to state your trading objectives and goals to achieve.
Have a simple plan and work on it, please do not try to complicate it
by putting in some complex money management strategies. I am not




saying that money management is not important. It is important but it
has to be simple because the majorities of us do not have a PhD in
finance to understand it. Simplicity is the key.

Trading is a business

“The investor’s chief problem and even his worst enemy is
likely to be himself” – Benjamin Graham

Trading is a business

Trading should be treated as a business and that is the simple logical
reason why it is called trading. Trading is just act of buying a product
or merchandise then selling it and making a profit out from it. Isn’t
that’s what we do as a trader? Most of us seem to forget our objective
and become irrational when we trade. We become impatience and
want to get rich very quickly.

When you trade without any emotion

When you trade without any emotion, you are likely to do well but
when you start trading with your own money, that’s where all the
emotions will come in, your fear and your greed. It doesn’t matter
whether you are just starting out or have been trading for sometime, it
is the same, and every trader will have to take on the same emotional
roller coaster ride in order to be good at it. It takes patience and time
to master but it can be financially rewarding.

Eggs put into hot water and kept away from the fire are much better
than eggs actually boiled for only a short time. The greater the
number of eggs to be cooked, the greater the amount of water that must
be used. To cook four eggs, put them into a kettle, pour over them two
quarts of water, cover the kettle and allow them to stand for ten
minutes. Lift them from the water, put them into a large bowl, cover
with boiling water, and send at once to the table. The whites will be
coagulated, but should be soft and creamy, while the yolks will be
perfectly cooked. If you should add six eggs to this volume of water,
lengthen the time of standing. A single egg, dropped into a quart of
water, must stand five minutes.

EGGS EN COCOTTE

Chop fine one good-sized onion. Cook it, over hot water, in two level tablespoonfuls of butter. When the onion is soft add a quarter of a
can of mushrooms, chopped fine, two level tablespoonfuls of flour and
one cupful of stock. Stir until boiling. Add a tablespoonful of
chopped parsley, a half teaspoonful of salt and a saltspoonful of
pepper. Put a tablespoonful of this sauce in the bottom of individual
cups. Break into each cup one egg. Pour over the remaining mixture.
Stand the cups in a pan of hot water and bake in a moderate oven about
five minutes.

the sides, scoop out a portion of the potato, leaving a wall about a
half inch thick. Mash the scooped-out portion, add to it a little hot
milk, salt and pepper, and put it into a pastry bag. Put a little
salt, pepper and butter into each potato and break in a fresh egg.
