My own bathroom! And an eat-in kitchen that's big enough that we don't have our washer/dryer in the kitchen. (I try to tell myself that our current kitchen is very European...)
What I miss the most from having a gym membership is the ability to relax in the sauna or the hot tub. Having a steam shower at home would really be nice after a long day at work.
I got this card in the mail never applied for it. Dont want to ruin my good credit but the only number offered for help was to activate it & give my social security number. I never called to activate it but I would like to know how this company got my name & address. Western union debt card sounds legit but the fine print says they have high fees for something I never applied for. Be careful of scams.
I haven't studied abroad, but am in the process of relocating to Mexico from Canada and thought of pursuing my education here (master's and maybe Ph.D., but I have no idea in what!). I am going to have a poke through that website you link through and see if I get inspired.
Living in another country is so rewarding and I would love to see how education is different (and similar) to back in Canada. I got my BA from a bilingual French/English-language university and would love to get my graduate degree from a Spanish-language school as that would mean I'm really fluent, which would definitely help in my job prospects.
As a building concierge and manager in Boston, I can honestly say $20 is LOW and $200 is HIGH. People are reading this from New York City to Mobile Alabama, so DIFFERENT GRATUITY RANGES DO APPLY. My professional opinion is 15-25% of one month’s rent divided up among the entire staff that helps you is the recommend range to be in i.e. in NYC a $9000 a month rent would be $1800 in staff gratuities and in middle america a $1500 rent would be $300 in staff gratuities divided up by yourself accordingly to the team in SEPARATE cards/envelopes. So a staff of 10 people in Mobile Ala would get $30 each and in NYC would get $180 each) we make average wages not $$ and not poor house (also we pay for own dry cleaning usually). A tip should not feel OBLIGATED but should feel like a good deed. Keep in mind your building concierge is doing more than saying Hi and bye. He/she is handing your mail, packages, your guests and security, even helping with bags and etc. He/she is working nights, weekends, and holidays this time of year in lieu of spending time with family (when many others have the time off) to provide you a service and this is the only time of the year where buildings allow tipping (so those not tipped moments during the year should also be considered in December)
Lastly never assume "everyone" else is tipping in your math. About 60% tip at the holiday season and 15-25% tip throughout the year (even when it’s not building policy, an envelope with appreciation is always nice)
I'm not sure I'm a "forever home" kind of person! I'm already discovering that I want different things for each phase of my life. The home we have now is wonderful but my children are in college or preparing to go so it seems bigger than I need. But I believe I will always looks for a cozy, elegant and well made home in a small town near a bigger city. And I will always want a single family home -- no sharing walls with the neighbors!
Communication skills are a decent quality to have for any freelancer, but they're vital for any designer or developer who needs to amplify their effectiveness in the field.
I was reading your article, "5 Creative Jobs With Surprisingly High Salaries", & even though I enjoyed reading it I must say that I was disappointed to see that there were not any kind of references as to how to get into any of the businesses. For example, the Advertising Copywriter is something I have always been interested in but have no idea where to start in finding out how to actually get into the business or how to find companies that may be hiring. Of course the only thing I can think to do is scouring the web in hopes of finding a starting point at the least. I also enjoy writing & reading & would love to be able to make money doing any of the things I have mentioned! So, if you have any advice for where the best place to start in any of these areas, it would really be great to read! Thanks so much for all the information you have already provided! I really have enjoyed reading the different articles! strwbryptch@yahoo.com
I do not have a comment but a question. I have a car and only a couple more months to pay. It was stolen but eventually found. there was damage to the car and i have an insurance claim which i have received, do i have to spend all the money on repairs?
(In relation to #4: HA HA Suckas, I'm one of those lucky people that got into a nice, long-term relationship right away.)
Anyways the part of this article that stuck out to me the most was that we should make time for our family - I haven't talked to any of them in years out of guilt of not talking to them. When the thought of talking to them pops in your head, or really of just doing anything pops in your head, take the advise from our wiseman, Shia Labeouf. Just do it! Because the cycle I'm in is quite depressing.
My forever home has to be nestled among the pine and aspen in the mountains of Colorado, not far from a town, but far enough out where if my dog wants to bark, he can without fear of a neighbor complaining. A 36' Travel Trailer will do just fine and if I can live off grid, that would be okay with me. I don't need much, but do need room to produce the products I make by hand and sell at various craft shows. I want a simple, debt free life in my retirement with just enough income to provide for my needs and what supplies I need to purchase.
My forever home would be a house with 2 bedrooms, 2 bath on 1 floor. A universal design-so handicap friendly. I want to be able to grow old in the house. A sun room overlooking my garden. Oh and very important a heated drive way, heated front and back steps. Minimize shoveling snow in the winter in Chicago.
I think it is how you pose the question. I think it would be a positive to bring it up for the reasons you said. I have and it has paid off. I think by showing you understand the company's challenges, you are a good fit and could help them. You just have to be careful not to sound like you are challenging the strength of the company or its direction.
My forever house would be small--a couple of bedrooms, a bath, a living room with a masonry fireplace and built-in bookshelves, a kitchen with high-quality, energy efficient appliences. All the finish work would be perfect. And ideally, it would be on property with a waterfront. And close enough to walk to a grocery store, a bank, and a bus stop.
My own bathroom! And an eat-in kitchen that's big enough that we don't have our washer/dryer in the kitchen. (I try to tell myself that our current kitchen is very European...)
And a basement. And garage. Is this too much?
A steam shower!
What I miss the most from having a gym membership is the ability to relax in the sauna or the hot tub. Having a steam shower at home would really be nice after a long day at work.
House must be only one floor for when I am old, solar panels, great kitchen, well insulated and a beautiful glass shower professionally installed.

I want an open concept house with lots of natural light.
A garden!
I would really like a nice bath tub in my forever home!

in my forever home i would want a garage, a yard, and enough room for guests

My number one thing would be a master bathroom

Great ideas! I found the Zombie Plant Grow Kit on amazon! Amazing how it "Plays DEAD" when you Touch it!.

All the finish work would be perfect. And ideally, it would be on property with a waterfront. And close enough to walk to a grocery store, a bank, and a bus stop.
My forever house would have a big updated kitchen and a game room.
Great post!!! Except one thing... the previews are the BEST part!!! :-)
new cabinets.
