Is Your Financial Wealth Relying Too Much On The Value Of Your House?
Is your family?s financial well-being and net worth relying too much on the value of your house? Are you feeling wealthier because the value of your home has increased significantly in the last few years or decade? Have you taken out a home equity loan recently?

What Is The Price Of Your Lifestyle?
I recently attended a presentation where the speaker asked that question in regards to taxes. I realized right away that he could also be talking about interest costs or time costs. The tax issue is one that often draws the most attention because we would all rather pay less tax than more.
Lucky? Financial Planning
Recently, in our neighbourhood we witnessed a spectacular house fire where the home was completely destroyed. An obvious tragedy to the owner, yet a powerful reminder to be grateful for all we have ? including our ability to plan ahead.

You?re in the mall with your husband or friend and are each given $1,000 to spend. The only restriction? it must be gone within one hour. You can do whatever you like with it!! Ready ? set ? spend!!!
If this sounds like something you?d love to do, then do it!! All you need is a note-paper and pen to record the details of the items you intend to purchase on your shopping spree. What?!? You don?t actually spend the money for this to be a terrific experience. It works best if it?s not pre-planned, so one day when you find yourself at the mall try it!! If you are going with your husband, you can decide to shop together with $2,000, or independently ? it?s your choice. The treat is in the process.
