If you guessed “B,” you are correct! 👏 Make your bed make sense by following these Feng Shui tips:
1. Add a headboard made of fabric to bring softness and serenity to your space. If you have a pet, settle on something other than fabric. 😸meow. 2. 🧭 Scientists have debunked the idea that the direction you lie in affects your sleep, so focus on (drum roll) #3: 3.🪖 Place your bed in a “command” position so you can practically hear it screaming, “I’m in charge now!!” Or maybe it’s singing a lullaby, which brings me to #4: 4. Your bedroom is not an office, exercise room, or kitchen (unless you live in NYC, in which case, it’s probably all three). Whether you regenerate through meditation, sleep, or sex, it’s got to be a sacred space. 🧘💑 💤 Leave your bedroom tips – you know the kind I mean – in the comments below!
🏡 You’ve finally bought your new place and are ready to jazz it up. But don’t rush to buy new stuff! 🛑
Here is why you should buy used furniture: 💲 1. Save Money – You probably read there’s never been a worse time to buy a home, but you did it anyway. It’s okay, but you’ll have to cut corners. Decorating your home is a great place to start. 💪 2. Did you know that most contemporary, inexpensive furniture is made of particle board? If you’re buying something made before 1975, it’s more often durable and long-lasting. Besides. It got this far, didn’t it? 1️⃣ 3. Have you ever seen a hutch with a built-in record player? An entertainment center that doubles as a bed? A bed frame with cat sculptures carved into the wood 🐱 meow? I haven’t either, but it’s probably out there! You’ll likely find at least a few conversation pieces if you go second-hand. 🎉4. It’s fun! There’s something about the thrifting hunt for hidden treasure! Grab some friends and make a day of it! 🌍 5. Save the world! More and more, good folks like you realize that going used lessens your carbon footprint. Go green!

I grew up in a one-bedroom. My mom slept on the couch. Later on, I lived with a revolving door of roommates, most of whom were the things of nightmares. An apartment under an overpass. Even a relationship that became more about splitting bills than love.
I saved and saved and finally worked my way into a stable financial bracket. On a practical level, I did the math, and it made more sense to buy than to rent. On a more emotional level, I wanted a home to call my own. And so it was that my journey to homeownership began. I learned: 💪Bad Zip Codes Try Harder – Sellers seemed to see me as an upstanding citizen (they didn’t know me in college). “Bad” neighborhoods want “good” tenants, so if you come across as having your act together, you might get a pretty sweet deal. 🧑⚖️Don’t Judge a Condo By Its Cover – The condo I chose didn’t look too pretty on the outside, but it was all I could afford. And then… 🤩..what was inside was what counted! The condo’s interior was gorgeous! Open floor plan, granite countertops, and expensive carpeting. I realized then that the exterior didn’t matter because 99% of the time, I’d be in my condo – not staring at the external walls! This was it. I found my home. Three years of bliss – – but it’s what’s Deep inside that counts🕵️: The propertydevelopers hadn’t tended to the plumbing or the HVAC system – basically, they neglected anything that didn’t show. The car was shiny, but the engine was failing. Our condo fees went up to pay for the lawyer to sue the developers.😞 I now know to look beneath the hood or get someone else to do it.

I don’t know about you, but when I hear big numbers – or any kind of math – my head turns to mush. Buying a condo can be scary! 😱 That’s why I’ve compiled this list of common, big-money terms you’ll hear when you plan to buy your new condo (note: it’s just a starter list – find links to informative sites in the comments). Here are the basics: HOA – Think of $100 a month per shared amenity + a roof. So, if you like landscaping, a pool, a gym, and water (and a roof), you’re looking at about $500 in monthly condo fees. This is less than the national average. Not too bad when compared to maintaining a house! 👍 FHA Loan – If you can snag one of these, you’re gold! 👏 This loan is typically for folks who can’t come up with a 20% down payment. It has an added benefit: if the condo is not up to par, you can’t use the loan to buy it. Think of it as protection from purchasing a lemon. APR – You’ll pay this additional monthly amount toward your mortgage. The higher the interest rate, the more slowly you build equity. A high rate is bad – you’ll be more of an indentured servant to a bank than an actual homeowner. 😞 PITI – A good way to think about this is that it’ll cost you more to buy a house the further away you are from a 20% down payment. Your lender can help you figure this out, but remember that they may not have your best interest at heart. 🤔 SOS – Let’s offer condo-buying help and advice about buying a condo in the comments below! 👇
🏘️ Owning a condo or house is alwaysbetter than renting, so why wait? Eating beans and rice and driving a used Prius is better than paying rent. Rent is throwing money down the drain. 🧑🤝🧑 Go half-sies on a house with a friend. If you’d rather wait for Mr. or Ms. Right, listen up: Buying a house with a friend doesn’t lessen the possibility of meeting someone special. As is true with all living arrangements, things change. Roll with it. Begin building equity sooner rather than later. 👀 If #2 is still a no, scout out less desirable neighborhoods and sign a contract with home hunters you know and like to ensure you all buy houses in the same area. If no one you know is buying, go to new homebuyer conventions and see if any of these folks are on your wavelength. Buying as a group means that you’ll be living in the neighborhood you dreamed of. 👩❤️👨My partner/roommate sometimes says, “I love our boring relationship.” He smiles. I smile. We’re happy. A nice home doesn’t mean a thing if you’re stuck living with a dramamaker. Also, don’t live with a neat-nick if you’re a slob. This never works out. 😀Cat scratches add character. Okay. This isn’t true, but I’m hoping for a radical paradigm shift where this becomes the new norm. Because cats. 🐱meow.
