Working with you to achieve a future that is greater than your past
Greetings!
Summer is a great time to relax and reflect.
Stepping back from our day to day routine helps us
realize what is most important in our lives. If you
know that you are ready to make some changes in
your
life and want to map out your plan. We’ll help you
create your plan that reflects the roadmap of your
life.

TEST-DRIVE YOUR
DREAM JOB. Let's face it, most of us spend the
majority of our waking moments at work -- and yet
few of us are actually doing work that we're
passionate about. But who says it has to be that
way?
At Vocation
Vacations®,
they believe "work" can be much, much more than
just
a four-letter word. That's why they've made it their
business to offer you the chance to test-drive your
dream job -- completely risk-free! No need to quit
your day job. No need to tell the boss. Just spend a
couple days on a VocationVacation,
working one-on-one with a VocationVacations
Mentor,
to see what your dream job is really like.
Cheers—Paula and Bill Harris
Single women have come a long way in real estate
These days more than one in five home buyers is a single woman.
Spurred on by a healthy real estate market, a
variety of new loan options and more buying power
than they had in the past, single women have become
a powerful demographic in the real estate market.
The nightmare next door
What to do before your neighbor's overgrown yard, Day-Glo paint job or never-ending renovation drives down your home's value - and drives you up the wall.
You can choose your friends, you can choose to be
friends with your neighbors, but for the most part,
you cannot choose your neighbors.
Financial advice from Mom
Her wisdom still rings true, but not for the reasons you thought.
When you were a kid, you probably thought any and
all advice from Mom was "nagging." And most likely
you didn't want to listen to her thoughts on money
any more than you wanted to hear about eating your
broccoli or cleaning your room.
Getting notivated for the savings game
Everyone asks two basic questions about saving for
retirement. The questions are obvious, but the
answers may surprise you.
Are your vices killing your finances?
Light up a cigarette and grab your beverage of choice, because here comes a real eye-opener.
Most of us are well aware of the costs of the seven
deadly sins. We may even know the downside of
ignoring the five basic food groups.
But we probably have never stopped to do the math on
our three favorite vices: alcohol, cigarettes and
coffee.
Keeping the bad guys from Mom & Dad
Sooner or later, con artists are going to make a run at your family's senior generation. But you're not going to let them succeed, are you?
On a February day in 2005, Tom Mitchell received a
panicked phone call from his dad and stepmom in
Columbiana, Ohio.
Len, 82, and Ruth, 64, told him that their entire
$100,000 retirement savings was lost in a real
estate bond scheme sold to them by their long-time
accountant and former neighbor.
