Being a Good Neighbor
Being a good neighbor is more than a clever tag
line for an insurance company; It's something we
should strive to be every day. It's about the
actions we perform daily. Being a good neighbor is
saying hi to the person who lives down the way,
even though you may not know their name. Being
a good neighbor is turning your music down and
being considerate for the person next door. Being
a good neighbor is picking up after your pet.
(Anyone found not picking up after their pet, will
be subject to a fine up to $75.) Being a good
neighbor is picking up your cigarette butts and
not throwing them over your balcony. Also, being a
good neighbor is NOT parking in a reserved space
that does not belong to you. (Violators will be
towed if parked in a reserved space that does not
belong to you.) Try being a good neighbor. After
all, doing something good often reaps something
good in return.

Best Savings Advice Ever
Liven Up Your
Valentine’s Day
T
E
veryone has gotten financial advice, solicited
or not, from someone in their life. Advice on
saving and investing money can vary, but in
good advice, there is always a common theme.
Here are some simple tips that can make all the
difference in how you view saving money.
Always save a little. No matter how much money
you make, always put something aside. Think of
it as paying yourself first, before any other bills
or other spending.
Know the difference between needs and wants.
This is simply a way to learn to control your
spending. If you are honest with yourself, you
will realize that much of your spending is wantbased spending, not just on needs. If you can’t
distinguish between the two, you will end up
spending too much.
Know the true cost. The true cost of many items
is not just on the price tag. Consider all the time
and energy you need for maintenance, storage,
upkeep, and insurance on anything you buy.
If you need more money, figure out how to make
more money. Scrimping and economizing are great
ways to stretch your budget. But if you are finding
that you are not making ends meet and are not
able to save any money, it is time to evaluate your
income. Often the fastest way out of debt and into
more savings is to generate more income. This can
mean anything from picking up an extra part-time
job to going back to school to earn your degree.
Sudoku and Word Game for Kids: Words in Words
Word Games for Kids: Words in Words
You can sometimes make words using the
letters in a larger word. For example, from the
word “tube” you can make “be,” “bet,” “but,”
and “tub.” Now onto a harder one: how many
words can you make from the word “February?”
(Hint: we found 42.)
ired of giving a card and some candy? There
are lots of creative ways to show your affection
for your loved one. Consider trying these ideas this
Valentine’s Day.
Make a photo gift. It is easy and inexpensive to
have a photo put on a mug, t-shirt, key chain, or
even playing cards. Choose one of you two together,
enjoying each other.
Make something by hand. Whether you make a
cake, knit a scarf, write a poem, or cook an entire
dinner, your loved one will appreciate the time you
put into your gift.
Enjoy the outdoors together. Taking a walk or hike
together can be romantic and calming. It gives you
and your honey a chance to connect and talk.
Get some petals. Ask at your florist for some of the
petals they trim off of their roses. These petals are
usually fresh and lovely and are even sometimes
free. Use them to decorate your dinner table, bed, or
to float in a bathtub.
Get a photograph taken. Arrange to have a
professional photographer take pictures of you
together. Not only is this an enjoyable activity, but
you will also create a lasting memory.
