Anyone who earns income below the median household income cannot afford to buy a house with the current market prices. This has become a global threat as it is counterproductive to any country trying to achieve economic growth. Research shows that governments, private institutions and angel investors are coming up with practical ways to ensure that everyone can afford a house. Lack of enough finances is still a significant hindrance. Governments should ensure that they provide affordable houses from PropertyGuru group and look for ways to increase the income of those earning below the median household income. High population rise is another reason that makes it hard for people to afford a house.

ready for that time change & warm days!
Hey Everyone Well, I haven't written in a few days - There have been quite a few I haven't even had the laptop out and haven't even been on my big mac at all- which is crazy! I started a mini cleaning binge a few weeks back when I cleaned out my bathroom (all that coupon makeup, shampoo, tampons and such) and then I hit up my clothes- the dresser, the chest and the cubby things I have in David's closet. I had already did such an over haul on those I only came up with like 3 or 4 shirts and a pair of capri's to get rid of! I have been *trying* to work in the big closet again- it is always my nemesis of course, but it has gotten WAY better over time. I even break it into sections and such now. It is just such a catch all of all my stockpile of laundry pods (I have 32 packs + 2 big tubs of gain flings if you were curious)+ all my TP and paper towels and whatever else I happen to have extra of ( sometimes its pet food, sometimes its more laundry liquid...) Anyways, I have made good … [Read more...]

Crashing & Random Off Days
Hey Everyone Well, I totally crashed yesterday evening. I don't even know how I made it yesterday without sleeping, I kind of tried to rest but it didn't work out- and I couldn't get anything going either! So...I ended up taking a bubble bath and crashing out pretty early last night. I still need a bit more rest, but today is a little off beat because David had a DR appointment and ended up taking the day off. I had HOPED that today was gonna be a hit the ground running and do all the things kind of day, but that was before I knew he was taking off & before I realized exactly how much I had ran myself into the ground between broken sleep the last several days. It just happens sometimes! I figure we will grab an early lunch (I want Fajitas !!) and then probably just do a couple random things and nap, and I'm oK with that. I don't know why I always get so defensive about trying to rest and take care of myself. Things either happen or they don't. Taking care of myself shouldn't … [Read more...]
