Before you start spending your profits, take a breath and then sit down and think through what your net gain or loss might actually be – after taxes and all selling expenses. Real estate is subject to yearly taxes by the county. Of course, you have taxes every year you own the property as well. Capital Gains.

I remember, not that long ago (I graduated from college in 2004) that being in college is great but the cost is expensive. She was shocked that books cost that much (and that year, the teachers did not want ‘used’ books— I was also a music major too. ). That is me talking to him in 2004 in London, England.

Some people keep their recipes on the computer, but I prefer my binder with its well-used, splattered pages. I keep separate binders for our Business Expenses & Statements , Business Taxes , Health Savings Account , Retirement , my passwords (with alphabet tabs), and Workouts. Do you use binders to stay organized?

Statistics released by the National Association of Home Builders show the average home size in the 1970s was 1400 square feet; in 2004, this had blown out to a whopping 2330 square feet, almost twice the size. How long is it since you cleared out all those spaces where you store the things you don’t use very often, if ever?

In 2004 when we were researching policies, we weren’t parents yet, but fully intended on having children. It really deserves a whole separate post and if today’s insurance environment was the same as 2004 I might explain further, but it’s not, so I’ll move on. In reality though, that was not the case.

The oil and gas industry still has well over 64 million acres of land that has been granted to them to explore on – which they have not even started using. Why would we permit more exploration when they have not even used so much of what we already granted them? oil production. That makes no sense whatsoever.

We got by back then using open windows, fans and attic fans. According to Credit Cards.com the Diner’s Club Card was the first of the modern style credit cards to be used and it was available starting in 1950. These are things which I believe many of us would consider wants instead of needs. Air conditioning. 3 bathrooms.
