Moving

Most movers, especially the do-it-yourself kind, are so happy to finally arrive in their new home that they don't even mind that the dinner plates are chipped, there's a scratch on the coffee table or their favorite lampshade is bruised and battered. But there's no reason your household goods should become casualties of the move. With a little care and planning, and these moving packing tips, you and your stuff will both arrive in mint condition.

A little common sense helps when packing for moving. Think of a stack of dishes in a box on the bed of a bouncing truck. No matter how well the sides are padded, a firm up-and-down jolt could crack the entire stack. On the other hand, dishes packed on edge and surrounded by bubble wrap have a better chance of surviving the trip unharmed.


Finances

Once a simple task that meant comparing the fixed interest rate mortgages of a dozen or so lenders, the mortgage search today is more like finding your way through a maze. There are dozens of loan types, hundreds of loan programs and thousands of mortgage brokers, bankers, lenders, finance companies, credit unions, even stock brokerage firms originating loans.

Because there is so much to learn, finding a mortgage that fits doesn't begin with an application, but education. If there's but one aspect of the home buying transaction you take the time to learn in detail, make it mortgages. Discover too late that you can't afford your mortgage, and you could not only lose your home, but also be unable to purchase another one for years.
