The grass isn’t greener There’s this myth that renting is inferior to homeownership. That’s simply not true.

The argument for homeownership is that you’re building equity, making money by owning a home. Yes, this part is true. But it’s not the only investment, it’s just one option,forced savings. Homeowners have simply chosen to make their living space double as their investment savings.

We all have to live somewhere, but don’t let the real estate industry fool you into thinking you’re not doing it right if you’re not buying. Renting is a smart move, financially, and can be equally – if not better if you do it right.

Renting is less expensive than owning. Renting is a fixed fee, easy to budget because of its stability.

It increases incrementally – but it offers no surprise fees. A house will always need work – a roof, furnace, windows, a plumber, an appliance – it’s all out of pocket. A lawnmower and snowblower – that’s not just money, but labour, too. If you’re thinking condo – remember those monthly

+ get social 14

YPNEXTHOME.CA

maintenance fees are over and above rent. Renting? It’s all included in your monthly cheque. It’s all done for you.

Renters have lower insurance rates and less bills – and if you rent “all inclusive, it’s everything for the price of rent. As for that cashout you get when you sell your home? Take all of the money you’re not spending on repairs and upkeep and either use it now to enjoy a lifestyle, or find a good financial advisor and get that nice nest egg growing. Better than a home, you can access your investments as you need them, you don’t have to wait until you sell your home to leverage your own money. Ad don’t forget - mortgages are amortized for 25+ years. The list price of a home or condo ends up being twice as expensive when you factor in al25 years of interest and the additional mortgage fees.

So, who’s ahead? The grass isn’t always greener. So enjoy renting and, let Renters Guide help. Check us out online at YPNextHome.ca, and get ready to rent your new home!

Rental tips for people that don’t live the 9 to 5

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

By Jackie Marchildon

because it garners more sunlight than others. But for a shift worker, it’s best to avoid. While sunlight is important, and especially so if lack of light depresses you, it can also make it hard for you to sleep if you are working off-hours. Look for a unit that benefits your schedule.

Try to secure a corner unit If you’re looking to rent in a building, look for a corner unit so that you can set up your bedroom in a room that doesn’t share a wall with anyone. This will avoid the usual noises shared between thin walls in buildings, and ultimately help avoid frustration between neigbours.

WHEN YOU HAVE TO GET UP EARLY

for work, you don’t appreciate when your neighbour plays music a little too late or seems to be catching up on housework. But “early” and “late” are defined differently for everyone depending on work schedules.

The world does not function on nine-to-fivers alone. There are many jobs that demand round-the-clock workers — doctors, nurses, waiters, bartenders, flight attendants, police officers — the list goes on.

As a shift worker, your sleep cycle is likely disrupted by the everyday hustle and bustle of your neighbours, in the same way theirs would be disrupted by your routine in the middle of the night.

For those of you renting that are on an off-schedule, here are some tips on how to survive rental life.

Buy earplugs Earplugs are great even if you don’t work shiftwork! A friend of mine with roommates swears by them. Generally speaking, most cities do not allow excessive noise before 7 a.m. or after 11 p.m., so if your sleep pattern falls in between those times, earplugs will save you hours of tossing and turning. If you normally come home from work around 4 a.m., wind down and go to bed around 5 a.m., only to then be woken up by the family upstairs prepping for their day, invest in a good pair of earplugs. They will help you sleep through the commotion.

Avoid a unit with southern exposure For some, a southern exposure unit is a highly coveted rental spot

Talk to your neighbours There are some noise rules that exist, but for the most part, they do not benefit the overnight worker.

Let your neighbours know your schedule to warn them of any everyday noise on your end. This will (hopefully) encourage them to be aware of their own regular noise in the morning when they are getting ready or when they are coming home in the evening. It can be hard to work in shifts — if you get home from work at 11 p.m. and need to clean your house, will your neighbours mind if you pull out the vacuum? Talk to each other and sort out what will work and what won’t.

Just because you don’t work 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. doesn’t mean you should have to give up your own routine, but you also need to be mindful — and so do your neighbours.

Advice | STYLE FILE

Put some spring into your decor!

By Jo Alcorn

EACH YEAR AS SPRING approaches, I typically see a surge of people wanting to spruce up their decor. There are so many easy and affordable things people can do to dramatically update their space while keeping function, style and budget top of mind.

Consider swapping out some accessories for lighter, brighter options. I love working with white on white (all different tones/shades of white) to create a fresh, bright palette. Flowers are mandatory too – I cannot live without flowers – and they scream spring!

Feeling the itch for a more dramatic change this spring?

I’ve recently launched a new line of Jo Alcorn wall paper in patterns that are guaranteed to give your mood a lift and make you feel like you’ve made a dramatic change with a little DIY magic.

Think you have to turn off your fireplace and forget

about it until fall rolls around? Think again! Dimplex has stunning units that operate with no heat; you can keep them on during the spring and summer on cool, rainy days when you want that comfy, cozy feel of a fire but without the heat. One unit I recently styled is a new type from Dimplex called Revillusion. It can run all summer long with a no-heat option to keep a romantic, relaxing feel going strong in the warmer months.

If you have an electric fire place, or even a wood burning unit, you can redecorate it to match your spring decor. HomeSense is my go-to when I want to change any decor easily, and with very little expense. For mantel decor in the summer months I recommend light, airy and fun accessories.

Spring is always a great time to organize and make small changes that will add huge functionality to your home.

Adding in soft close hardware and drawer organizers can sometimes make it feel like you have a brand new space.

GRASS, a manufacturer of soft close drawer and cupboard systems, has a new line called Tavinea which is an interior drawer system that is modularly built so it can easily be tailored to your personal specifications. The days of the junk drawer will be limited after this addition.

If you have open shelving or glass cabinet doors, another option to update your decor is to change your glassware and plates. I love to pull these out early in the season and get them on display – they give my kitchen an instant spring feel – I’m all for making it feel like the warmer months will be here soon! Walmart has a great selection of outdoor plates and glasses that are sure to please and fit the needs to everyone.

Spring really does inspire us to organize, air out, and freshen up, but a spot that people often overlook is the laundry room or storage space – an area that receives very little attention. I assure you, if you spend a bit of

time to organize it properly, you can be far more efficient when you’re in there and have the bonus of enjoying that space! I love baskets from Bouclair to hide all the bits and bobs, cleaning supplies and other things that make the household tick.

There is no easily, more stylish way to change up your living space than by adding in pillows – “The more the

merrier!” I always say. My pillow collection is fully washable (you toss the entire pillow – cover and stuffing – into the washer), hypoallergenic and made in Canada. Jo Alcorn Collection Spring is here and these quick and easy updates will make your space more functional, enjoyable, and easier to live in for more than just the season to come.

Jo Alcorn is a design specialist and designer on HGTV’s Home to Win, out this spring.
