Daily: Reflect on 5 things for which I'm grateful. (read all 67 entries…)
Today I'm grateful for.

- Not being complacent.
- Life, and overcoming hurdles in my past.
- The knowledge and experience I’ve acquired in a short period of time.
- My close loved ones.
- Shelter, food, and the essentials in life.



Buy a House (read all 2 entries…)
Patience is key.

One word of advice, be very patient and try not to rush into it.
Things I found helpful were:
- Create or use an excel mortgage calculator to estimate your monthly payments.
- Be realistic about your monthly payments in the absence of your spouse’s income.
- Property tax rates should not be overlooked
- Look at what the fixed costs are and try to negotiate the variable costs (home insurance, interest rate, etc)

BodyMedia

I recently bought a BodyMedia device and it’s doing its job. I managed to grab it with a Groupon discounta few weeks ago and I think it is more of a motivator. I still need to fix the way I eat (intake, etc). It is pretty cool that it tracks the calories and helps you “see” whether or not you are getting sufficient sleep. I’ve combined cardio (3 miles, 3 times a week) and I’ve managed to loose 10 pounds in 1 month.
