How to Haggle with Your Landlord When Your Lease Renews

Published April 29, 2016 by Warren Forrest

When you’re renewing your lease as a renter, don’t just assume you need to keep paying the same price. If you’re a good tenant, your landlord most likely wants to keep you around. You can haggle within reason for lower rent if it’s the right time to do so. There are a number of factors to consider to make sure you have ground to stand on, but if all the elements align, don’t miss the opportunity to do so. Here are three tips for how to haggle with your landlord to reduce your rent payment. Compare Other Real Estate Trends The first step is deciding whether it’s time to haggle over your rent is to review other real estate trends. If the housing market in your community is in a downward spiral, that’s the perfect time to haggle over how much you’re paying per month. When there are other properties up for grabs at better prices, this gives your landlord serious incentive to negotiate. Look up some home listings online and show them to your landlord to back up your case. When dealing with your landlord, always be polite and courteous, but be firm about the fact that you’re aware…

There are plenty of different art programs to choose from, some of them extremely expensive and only available to the people who have the money to spend on something like that, and some of them completely free and not always in the best of conditions.

One Advertising Trick that Doesn’t Work as Well as You Think

Published April 15, 2016 by Warren Forrest

Companies come up with marketing strategies around the clock, so that their services can reach as many people as possible. While some advertising tricks and strategies can work wonders for some companies, there are others that actually end up doing a lot more harm than good. One particular strategy can be seen everywhere from television, to the Internet, and even on billboards and radios. This strategy has gained tons of popularity, but popularity doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s a good strategy. Actually, the act of calling out a competitor’s company as a way to advertise ones own product can be frowned upon in the business world. It Makes It Look Like Your Company Can’t Stand On Its Own When you call out a competitor’s company in an advertisement, it tells people that you are relying on the competing company to help you sell your product. Take a company selling a product for example. The company should be able to announce the product and demonstrate why it is great without comparing it to other products. When you compare your company to another company (or its products), it shows people that you see them as a threat. If you see them as…

Whether with family or friends, road trips can be a lot of fun. But they can have their fair share of stress, too.

Thankfully there are plenty of great foods you can pack and keep safely in your car to minimize both stress and spending. Breakfast If you subscribe to the Sunday paper, you’ve probably gotten sample boxes of cereal. They’re great to save for road trips. Did you know the box can be used as a bowl?

P90X: Is it for You?

P90X: Is it for You?

Published April 2, 2016 by Warren Forrest

Everyone wants to get the best results that they can now. That might mean test results, lab results, or (the most popular) exercise results. We’re a country that has been raised to live in the moment, so it’s hard to work out for weeks at a time with nothing to show for it but a little less beer gut. Because of this many people skip as much as they can and go straight for the big guys. There was a huge fad of that revolving around P90X, the workout system. It’s known for being intense, with ripped guys working it out. With that kind of reputation and backup then it must work, right? Yes, and no. It’s not for everyone, but it’s up to you to decide whether it’s right for you. Do You Even Lift? Are you already in shape? If you are, then you’re on a good path to P90X. If you’re not, then you may want to consider something else. This system was actually built for people who are already in shape. Even they need help staying motivated enough to workout. With that in mind it makes so much more sense as to why everyone looks so…

Why You Should Be Writing More Love Letters

Why You Should Be Writing More Love Letters

Published March 30, 2016 by Warren Forrest

Love is expressed in many ways. Love can be in something as simple as a hand over another hand on a table during a date or an embrace between partners. Love can be a little note, a silly text, or a phone call in the middle of the night. One of the seemingly long lost forms of expressing love is with love letters. Back when technology wasn’t as wide spread or even existent, love letters were basically the only way to tell someone you loved them if you were any distance apart. It might be outdated in your mind but writing love letters is a dead art that should be brought back into the limelight. It Gives Your Love a Physical Form One of the biggest draws of love letters is that you have a physical manifestation of all your feelings. It’s not something that can just disappear in the air like words or deleted from an inbox like a text message or email. Sure, paper can be destroyed and pencil graphite fades quickly, but a love letter can be held and looked at and the pages can be thumbed through over and over again just by reaching into a…
