The Good Life

The crime rate has been going up in El Paso, and that isn’t just something that has been said on TV as a political talking point. There have been actual cases in my neighborhood where people’s homes have gotten broken into, people have been robbed at gunpoint, and some have even been shot. I don’t know what this world is coming to, but I won’t sit by and let it happen to me. I contacted a provider for the local ADT in El Paso, and got a home security system installed in my home. The system is complete with an alarm that sounds when something happens, alerts the police when the alarm sounds, and even has a camera system.

I coudln’t have gotten the home security system at a better time. Just nights after I got the system, someone tried to break into my home. They used a baseball bat to hit the windows and tried to sneak in. The alarm system rang as soon as they hit the windows, and then they hurried away as if no one would be able to catch them. Unfortunately for them, my system called the police, and they came over as soon as possible.

The police caught the guy trying to run away on foot. He denied that he had done anything wrong and that he was being unfairly arrested. I showed the police footage of the man trying to break into my home from my camera system, and the man was thrown in jail for his attempted burglary. He was pretty stupid to think that he would be able to get away with his crime, but really, if I didn’t have the system, I would be in big trouble. The crook might not have stopped at breaking into my house and he might have attacked me.

When my daughter told me that her boyfriend was borrowing his father’s sports car to drive themselves and another couple to the prom, I knew that I had to step in quickly. I do believe he is a good driver, but I also know that kids are distracted on big nights like a prom, and I wanted his focus to be on the road only, and I knew that was just wishful thinking. I looked online at limo companies, and I found one that stated click here for good rates. I did just that, and that is when I was able to breathe a little easier.

I was not sure how much limos cost, but I had a feeling it was pretty expensive. Continue reading We Got the Kids a Limo for Prom

Whether you are shopping for a new residence to rent or buy, you will want to keep a few things in mind to help you achieve the best results. One of the first concerns for those in the market for a new home, should be their budget. The very first thing to do is determine how much you can afford to pay. Keep in mind that the cost of a mortgage is usually lower than the cost of a rental or lease on a monthly basis, but everyone may not be prepared to buy a property.

Once you have estimated your budget, take a look at your family and its needs. Consider how many bedrooms you will require as well as the number of bathrooms you estimate you will need. Once that has been satisfied, start thinking about location. You want to figure out which area is most convenient for you to live in. If it needs to be located in a certain school district or close to daycare facilities.

After you have gained a general understanding of your needs, it is time to start hunting for your new home. You can choose to do this with the aid of a real estate professional or you can choose to find your own. One benefit to using the services of a realtor, is that typically, they are aware of the homes available in your area of preference and can quickly tell you whether or not there are homes that fit your basic requirements. Additionally, they can take you on tours of the homes and help you throughout the entire purchasing or leasing process. If you decide to try it on your own, you can make use of the vast resources of the Internet to help you locate possible homes in your area. You can also always consult newspaper or print ads to help your search.

After 10 years with my company, I have been the chosen lucky one that is being relocated. I have been given a housing allowance, a moving allowance and a couple of weeks off with pay to settle in. Problem is, I have to move clear across the country from California to New York and I simply can’t afford to fly out every weekend to try to find a place to live. I have to move in two months and I desperately need some advice on finding apartments and houses. I am kind of on the fence about this because I will only be able to fly out once to check on places and make my decision. This is quite a big move for my family and me and I am hoping to never have to do it again.

I have a wife and three small children so I need to find something in a good neighborhood with good schools and a low crime rate. Continue reading I Need to Find a House
