Posted by Sharvette, Radio Host on October 22, 2014 at 8:27pm

Have you ever been on Facebook and you saw an interesting article or link as you are scrolling down your timeline but you don't have time to look at it? Perhaps you saw an event and now you can't find it! Well... Facebook has added a new "save" feature for posts that include links, videos or Facebook events.

To save a post, click on the downward arrow to the top right of the post (move your mouse over the area and the arrow will become visible). A drop down menu will appear and "save" will be in the list! Once you click this option & save the post, it will be kept in the "Saved" section on the home page of Facebook ( over to the left hand side).

The save option does NOT work for:

Your own posts
Pictures
Text only status updates

Tip: Let your customers, clients and potential prospects know that they can save your link posts for later when they have more time to review it or to share it!

Creative Ways To Save

Posted by Tanai M. Coleman on September 8, 2010 at 2:30pm

So you don’t want to eliminate your morning cup of coffee from your routine just to save a few bucks a week.

As a coffee drinker, I understand.

But what other ideas can you think of? No matter which books you read about money, you will never be completely satisfied with their recommendations because your life is different than theirs. What is easy for them to sacrifice may be difficult for you and vice versa. This is why it is extremely important to consider what you bring to the
budgeting table. No matter what source you turn to for financial help, you will still be a crucial part of the process.

Is what you are saving for worth sacrificing for?

This is the most important question to ask when you are thinking about changing your lifestyle to save for something you want. If you don’t want what you’re saving for more than you want your current routine, you will most likely not succeed in your efforts to save.

What Can You Do Without?

This is the second question you need to ask yourself when thinking about cutting back in order to begin saving. What can you let go of for the greater good? If you choose the things you eliminate from your spending wisely, you will not regret them or rebel against your own plan. This will help you to save your money successfully. Before you slash your cable bill, think about cutting back on going to the movies. Before you cut your grocery bill, consider not going out to eat for a month or two.

When you begin to review your spending in this way, you are enabling yourself to still be comfortable at home while curbing your spending outside the home on small luxuries. For example, before you change the stores where you shop, change the frequency with which you shop. There are many ways to begin cutting back and making small changes to save money. You just have to be creative while tailoring your cutbacks to line up with the culture of your particular family.

What Are Some Creative Ways You Like To Save?????

Why I Became an Expert Home Inspector

Posted by Simone on March 10, 2009 at 1:52pm

While working as a Public Insurance Adjuster I would often get phone calls from young single mothers hoping I could help them get money for repairs to their homes. Unfortunately, when I would arrive I would find that they were improperly insured but most often the damages they had weren't insurable damages but major defects and safety hazards to the home they just invested every dime they had into. What made this even worse is these young mothers usually had just purchased their homes within the past year or two through some kind of government "First Time Homeowners" program, and those that did get inspections, the inspection were performed by a contractor friend of the seller who usually was an investor flipping the property.I visited one house and from the dining room could see that the kitchen floor had a major slope towards the outside of the house. The young mother told me she doesn't go in the kitchen because it felt like it was about to fall off the rest of the house. Another house had one strip of paneling on the wall, not one wall with paneling, just one strip of paneling. When I looked behind the panel I could see straight outside. Then there was the house I visited one August, it hadn't rained for days weeks,as a matter of fact. The minute I walked into the house I could smell the mold. When I went into the basement the walls were soaked, the floors were damp, the joist and subfloors were wet. We could barely breathe while down there and she has a son in elementary school. This house had wires sticking out of the outlets and her porch roof was beginning to collapse from wood rot. (which is why she called me) I gave her some suggestions but couldn't really help her. She had only been in the house for 6 months and I had to tell her it wasn't safe for them to be there. With tears in her eyes she says "I hate this house". I don't think I need to tell you that I was fighting back tears myself.When I left I sat in my car for awhile trying to figure out what to do. All I could think is "Oh boy, I wish I was Oprah and could knock the house down and just build her a new one." But, I'm not Oprah. The next morning after praying and while talking to God in the shower, I decided to become a Certified Home Inspector and save the world!!!

I am a newly published author!
