Casinos are structured to purposely make you spend more time in there. No clocks on the walls, dim lighting, and they pump fresh air in the buildings to keep you awake and to keep the smoke from settling. That’s why you never see clouds of smoke when walking through

Please hire a licensed and bonded contractor to complete your home inspection before buying. The inspection completed by the bank/mortgage company is in their best interest, not yours and any repairs needed after purchase are your expense, insurance won’t cover existing damages

Not only is housing in general unaffordable, even high end new houses are increasingly made like crap. The idea of investing in a home that’ll last your family for generations is increasingly a fairy tale.

Check the special limits of insurance on your homeowner’s/renter’s policies. Your personal property is covered, but only under specific circumstances and certain items only up to a specified limit

If you think your area will not flood, think again. Example, hurricane Ida flooding the Northeast after hitting Louisiana. I can’t tell you how many claims were denied because most people thought a flood policy was unnecessary up there

One of my favorite things about being in love with Alex is that she makes my brain feel good. I was in a full blown manic episode for nearly 2 weeks and she didn’t bat an eye, never made me feel like a burden, gave gentle reminders about my meds…

Truly one of my favorite parts. I can tell something is wrong by the way she says my name, or when she’s anxious vs in deep thought by the particular way she fidgets with her hands. Being intentional and proactive allows me to ensure I’m always showing up in the way she needs

Find out if your state/county has a windstorm exclusion. Certain areas will not cover any damages that are a result of a wind or hail storm. If you’re in one of those counties, your insurance carrier may have an agency company, if not then contact FEMA for a windstorm policy

Your policy has coverage for additional living expenses in the event your home becomes unlivable due to a covered loss in your policy OR if you’re required to evacuate by order of a civil authority. Expenses that exceed your normal cost of living will be issued with no deductible

As a licensed property adjuster with brothers that are GCs, I see and deny shoddy work daily. These new builds aren’t stable, and the materials used in the older homes aren’t really made anymore. If you’re buying a new build, keep ALL of the paperwork on the builders for 10yrs
