Have a Better Life

Are you currently stressed about paying your bills?  Is your mortgage one of your largest bills, and you are concerned about not paying it and losing your house?  With interest rates being as low as they currently are, you may think about seeing if you can refinance your current mortgage.  Furthermore, you may want to even consolidate your debt into your mortgage, lock a low rate, and enjoy the reduced stress of being able to make ends meet.

There are many sites that offer mortgage comparison, but here are some key points to consider if you want to refinance to save money, consolidate debt, and be more stress free.

Reducing Your Mortgage Payment
One of the main reasons people refinance is to reduce their mortgage payment.  You can use a home loan calculator, and plug in today’s current low rates, to see what your new monthly payment will be.  Depending on your currently loan, you may see savings as high as 10-20% off your current monthly payment.

Having a lower monthly payment is a great way to reduce your current stress to make ends meet each month.

Debt Consolidation
If you have enough equity in your home, you may be able to refinance and take out some money to pay off your other debts.  This is essentially consolidating your debt into your mortgage.  However, this can make sense.  Owe $10,000 on a credit card at 18% interest?  You could add $10,000 to your 4.5% mortgage, save on interest, and even deduct the interest on your taxes each year.

Paying off the auxiliary debt, getting a lower interest rate, and having a lower total payment are all ways that can help lower your stress when it comes to paying your bills each month.

Final Considerations
Before you think about doing anything with your mortgage, you need to make sure that you meet these two criteria: you have equity in your home (you’re not underwater), and you have a good credit score.  If you don’t meet these criteria, it will be difficult to refinance and consolidate.   If you are in a good position, you should be able to lower your payments and lower your stress.

As you know a good night sleep does wonders to our body and soul. Although some people prefer to sleep in the silence some, prefer to sleep with music and even soothing sounds. If you are a person that likes to fall asleep hearing to soothing sounds than I recommend you buy a sound therapy system.

White noise machines are becoming very popular because they bring people the quietness and the atmosphere they need to fall asleep naturally.

Soothing sounds, gentle wake up alarm together with backlit for a quiet and relaxing waking up. All sounds are very relaxing and can be selected as per your wish.

I had to buy a new laptop. My kids kicked my old laptop screen in December and I ended up with a laptop which is stuck to a desk and a desk screen. Therefore, to be able to have the computer in the room I wanted to suit my needs I had to buy a new one.

When buying a computer whether it is a desktop or a laptop the main requirements is a good processor and a big disk. However I was also concerned with energy savings. I know that medical computers will spend a lot more energy but I wanted to make sure I was buying one with good energy options. Having a computer that consumes too much energy is not a good option?

When buying a new computer what do you take into consideration? Processor? Disk? Energy savings?

For Christmas I did a Portuguese traditional recipe called “Rabanadas“.

Although it is fried bread and we all know that fried is not the best, this recipe is a must on the holidays. Here is the recipe:

• Slices of bread
• Eggs
• Milk
• Sugar
• Cinnamon

Pass the slices of bread through the milk, than the eggs and fry in a sauce pan full of vegetal oil. After turning gold, pass the bread through a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. They are ready!

Kids enjoy this recipe a lot.

Those that have their insurance bills due in this time of the year often forget to ask for quotes to compare prices. Holiday season brings us too many distractions and we often don’t remember to do simple tasks of our daily life.

At least every two years we should ask for insurance quotes to compare prices from different companies. Often we end up finding great deals and low prices.

If you have your insurance (whether it is car, home or other) due soon use http://www.wholesaleinsurance.net/ to ask for quotes. Make sure you read all the terms and conditions of the policies.
