Gas prices are killing me…..
April 21, 2006
my wife and I have two cars an Audi that can run on regular unleaded and a Jeep Cherokee Limited with a 5.9 litre V8 engine that can only take premium unleaded gas (92octane or higher). In the past three weeks I've seen my gas bill jump by $30 per week between the two cars. My bike is starting to look better and better to me as an alternate means of transportation that won't empty my wallet and a fringe benefit is that I can increase my aerobic capacity at the same time. If you are struggling like I am with the prices at the pump I just found out about a very helpful website that will help you to identify the cheapest gas in your area. All you have to do is click on the link below and enter your zip code. Check it out before you head to the gas station to fill up again. A special thanks to Sis. Vilince Hohenberger for the tip.

As a homebuyer educator and Realtor I always remind my clients to count the cost before they make any decisions as it pertains to buying a home. For most people a house will be one of the largest financial investments that will be made in our lifetime. It's important for you to do your due dilligence to make sure that you are ready to buy a home, the home you want to buy is appropriate for your needs, the mortgage product is the right one for you, you choose the right realtor, home inspector, insurance agent, attorney…the list goes on. HUD put together a great list of 100 questions to ask before you purchase a home. We have included these questions on the link under "Real Estate." Please review and make notes and most importantly…Ask questions!
