Must-Know Tips for New Homeowners and Renters

Life can be overwhelming, there are lots of curve balls Things get complicated but before you get too overwhelmed take a breath and listen. You’ve got questions we’ve got answers. A little guidance just might go a long way. When dealing with life’s biggest moments we could all use a little simple advice. Do you guys have any other questions? Well actually these tips have been really helpful but we are looking for tips for the actual move itself. Well a recommendation I have is to be careful about who you hire to help you move. I mean I want to make sure that we find good movers, cause that horror story had recently with his movers. Yea no kidding I am not gonna go through what he went through. I feel like a lot of us have these horror stories that we’ve heard about with movers. So to help prevent against that definitely ask for referrals from your friends and family. And then you could check the reputation of those referrals from some sort of online evaluation system such as Angie’s List and you can even look at the Better Business Bureau and figure out if these people have a good reputation as well. With those tips that will prevent you from any horror stories with movers. Another recommendation I have would be to set up your bills for Automatic Payment once you get into your new place. That way you don’t have to worry about any bills falling through the cracks, you don’t have to spend a lot of time monitoring you know who’s paying what bill, they’re just all set up and they’re automatically being paid every month for you, that you can start to assess okay how much do our expenses cost and how do we plan for that. So anything we can put on automatic payment, we should? Yes, Okay. And finally, it’s also really smart to build an emergency fund. So this is really important as you continue to grow financially we always want to make sure you have a healthy emergency fund to fall back on for any unexpected events or expenses, and typically, you want about three to six months-worth of your fixed expenses in cash accounts. We have a couple months setup so we’re we’re on our way! On our way, that’s good! Today it went really well! Chris and Elizabeth are wonderful people and I think they’re gonna do just fine with their new living expenses and all their home remodeling projects they want to tackle. I learned a lot today, I think the most important thing was to really take our time and budget out over several months. I think we’re gonna get going right away on the emergency fund.
