Don’t let debt come knocking The amount of household debt Canadians have accumulated seems to be making daily news lately. Reports that the average Canadian household now owes $1.64 for every dollar of income means it may be time to reevaluate our budget strategies.

If you real estate strategy does not take into consideration the fact that interest rates will eventually begin to rise and your debt load may increase a lot faster than your income, you’re could be in for a bumpy ride.

A good financial advisor can help you figure out solid a budget strategy, including how much you spend on housing. While money may become even cheaper to borrow in Canada, it should not encourage you to invest or rent a home that you simply cannot afford, should conditions change. The fundamental old-school practice is, save as much as you can, avoid debt unless absolutely necessary, and pay debt off as fast as you can.

Old news yes, but excellent advice.

Starting off on the right foot

Happy New Year! Is this going to be the year you make those resolutions stick? Renting in the right spot can make sure you’re set up to do it.

You’re going to get fit. You’ve rented a home with a fitness centre making it easy to keep to the regime!

You’ve chased your entrepreneurial dreams for years, now you’ve taken steps to make it a reality. You’ve rented in a building with a business centre, letting you start up that venture.

You’ve moved to be closer to work – this is the year you stop sitting in

traffic and start enjoying life, the family, some relaxation, instead of spending two hours daily in a commute.

There are a huge number of reasons to move to improve your life. It doesn’t have to be a resolution, it can be as simple as realizing how to improve your own life.

NO LONGER THE VEGAS-LIKE STRIP

of motels and wedding chapels it became later in the 20th century, Lundy’s Lane is now one of the fastest-growing communities in the city of Niagara Falls. Beginning at Beaverdams Road and the QEW in the north down to McLeod Road, and currently extending from Beechwood Road in the west to Drummond Road.

On July 25, 1814, Lundy’s Lane was the scene of the bloodiest battle of the War of 1812, and the area was declared a National Historic Site in 1936. Heroine Laura Secord and her husband, Captain James Secord, are buried at Drummond Hill.

Close enough to Stanley Avenue and all the Falls attractions to ensure the kids are never bored, Lundy’s Lane is still far enough removed to feel like a regular Ontario town.

Lundy’s Lane – and Niagara Falls in general – is home to a fairly diverse population.

Extremely convenient to the QEW, Lundy’s Lane is a great location for those commuting to work in Hamilton, Toronto, or the GTA. It’s also very easy to reach other parts of Niagara, as Lundy’s Lane itself is also Highway 20. The local WeGO Niagara Transit System connects the neighbourhood to all the busiest parts

of town.

Your tolerance for tourists will certainly be tested living here.

If you’re not comfortable giving directions, or getting out of the way of a picture, you might want to consider a quieter neighbourhood.

Other than that, this area, with its mix of well-maintained older homes and shiny new housing developments, plentiful parks and schools, and myriad of entertainment options at your very doorstep.

Anne Marshall has lived in New York City, Glasgow (Scotland), Greensboro (NC), Toronto, and somehow ended up back in the fabulous small city of Guelph, where she grew up. She loves nothing more than exploring new areas, peering into other people’s apartments, houses and yards.

Advice | RENTAL RANTINGS

Seven items you wish

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

someone told you not to buy for your rental

By Jennifer Braun

28

YPNEXTHOME.CA

MY APARTMENT IS A nonstop question zone. I have very limited space, yet still enough space to constantly be asking myself “Why did I buy this? And this? And that!” I’ll admit, when I moved into my first apartment I got a little excited and, despite budget restraintes (zero budget), I went a little crazy with what I considered investments.

It’s not that all the items in my apartment are totally useless. It just took me some time to figure out they don’t all fit with my kind of lifestyle. Still, I like to think I’m not the only one to blame. Seriously, no one could have warned me not to buy any of these seven ridiculous items?

SOUND SYSTEM: Besides the fact I would actually like to be on good terms with my neighbours, a sound system is just not at all necessary for my tiny apartment. Let’s face it, the sound from my iPhone speakers reach from the kitchen to my bathroom just fine.

ELEPTICAL: Everyone who owns a piece of exercise equipment knows they don’t use it half as much as they should. Then there’s the fact I’m constantly bumping into it when I get out of bed in the morning.

KING SIZE BED: About 2/3 of the furniture I assembled from IKEA seemed a lot smaller online then in my actual rental. Now my bedroom looks like it could belong to Shrek.

LUXURY KITCHEN APPLIANCES: Kitchen appliances like a blender, Vitamix, and KitchenAid, I consider a luxury because you have to have the luxury of having a decent amount of counter and cupboard space to be able to use and store any of these items. Do you know how many different produces go into a Martha Stewart smoothie?

DECORATIVE PILLOWS: How many pillows can you fit onto one sofa?

The answer is a lot! The pillows look great. The only thing is I’m constantly looking for space to place all these pillows when it comes the time to sit on the only couch in my apartment. If you haven’t guessed yet - it happens a lot.

LOUNGE CHAIR: Summertime is so short. You better believe I invested in a state-of-the-art lounge chair to make the most of my balcony. The only thing is, the lounge chair is now the only thing that fits on my balcony. Any suggestions on where to store a lounge chair now that it’s winter?

VACCUM CLEANER: I really had the best intentions to keep my rental as clean as possible when I moved in. Of course, that meant I had to invest in the right cleaning appliances. The thing is when you have a small space, ends up your cutting edge vaccum cleaner doesn’t fit under any of the funiture and appliances which take up like 90 percent of your space. Just one more 12 pound item for me to store.

Now, I wonder how much I can sell these items on Kijiji for...

Five new year’s resolutions for your home Ringing in a new year doesn’t change who you are, unless you let it. It’s a marker in time, a point from which you can decide to make a change. A fresh year can bring fresh perspective and so many people use January 1st to make resolutions – leave the old bad habits behind with the old year and step into the new year full of good intentions for a better you. New Year’s resolutions can be anything from bettering your health to changing your attitude. How about bettering your home!

Here are five great New Year’s resolutions for your home:

1. Clean

It’s easy to get into a rut with your cleaning. You do the same tasks and take care of the same things in your regular routine.

Take a look around and see what really needs attention and then make it your resolution to add that to the cleaning routine.

2. Streamline

It may be old, damaged, or just not fit your decor, but you can’t get ride of it. It’s now or never.

You don’t have enough room in your home – or your headspace – for clutter so either find a purpose for it or give it away to someone that can.

See Elisa Krovblit’s full list of New Year’s resolutions for the home online. Read the full story…

Five points to help you

create a sweet sleep retreat AS WINTER SETS IN and the days

get shorter and shorter, ensuring our bedrooms feel like sanctuaries becomes so much more important.

The bedroom is such an easy place to overlook – and in my experience, it’s often the last place busy parents will invest time and money. To ensure you get the best sleep possible, here are some essential steps to creating the best sleep retreat.

1. Get the best mattress you can afford We spend a third of our day sleeping, so your mattress is a product that is absolutely worth investing in! While it might be scary to look at a high-ticket price on a premium mattress, remember that a good mattress can last anywhere from five to 10 years or longer. So a $2500 mattress amortized over this length of time ends up costing around the same price as your daily cup of coffee. And do ensure you try before you by, don’t be shy to lie down and toss and turn in the store to make sure it’s a perfect fit.

2. Keep it dark Keeping a room dark plays a huge

impact on quality of sleep for both adults and children. Before going to bed, put lights on a dimmer (an easy change an electrician can do if you don’t have them currently or an adaptor you can plug your lamp into) to mentally prepare your body for rest. Then ensure you have black out window coverings for the best light fastness. In children’s rooms especially, I love using side channels that a company like Budget Blinds can install to keep light out from the small gaps that typically occur on the sides of roller shades.

3. Keep it dramatic I love creating cozy bedrooms. In my space I used a deep indigo blue called Krimson Lake by CIL Paints.

It is absolutely a myth that dark colours are inappropriate for small spaces – in a small space dark paint can make a room feel cozy, dramatic and inviting. I took the drama one step further by installing applied moulding from Metrie’s Very Square collection. Applied moulding painted out the same colour as the walls is a modern take on a more traditional architectural application.

4. Keep it clean Commit to keeping the bedroom the cleanest room in the house. At the end of a chaotic day, who wants to return to chaos? Commit to using laundry hampers, to putting clean laundry away immediately, and to making the bed daily. Making the bed, if you don’t do so already, is a really simple task that will yield huge wins and build momentum for keeping the rest of the room tidy as well.

5. Make it smell good I use an essential oil diffuser in the bedroom in the morning to get me energized and in the evening to get my body ready for sleep. A few drops of lavender essential oil diffused in the room makes everything smell good and can do wonders to calm the nerves and aid in relaxation. For further help getting the best sleep try an herbal supplement like Pascoflair’s passion flower to de-stress and aid in restlessness. And absolutely remember to not let the bedroom become a dumping ground for mess.

You deserve the best sleep and a restful retreat after a long busy day.

Commit to giving yourself this gift everyday!

Advice | MOVING

Making future holidays merrier by

packing seasonal decorations properly

By Chuck Resnick

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

YPNEXTHOME.CA

HOLIDAY PREPARATIONS such as tree trimming, present wrapping and hanging lights help get us in the holiday spirit and are lots of fun. But thoughtful packing of seasonal decorations and materials at the end of the holidays for the next year, can keep the fu in what is for some, a stressful time.

In other words, it pays to plan, even 12 months ahead.

Careful packing and organization prevents damage and breakage, and ensures you can find everything next year.

It is worth taking the extra time to organize and preserve your decorations for next year.

Here are some tips from Two Men and a Truck to keep in mind while packing away holiday decorations: DELICATE ITEMS • Wrap breakables in paper or bubble wrap. Do not use newspaper - the print may wear off on ornaments.

Use tissue or packing paper. Instead of throwing away used paper or junk mail, run it through a paper shredder, it makes great packing filler.

• Decorations that contain photographs or food should be sealed in an air tight bag to keep them safe. Sealing photos preserves them and the scent from any food item will attract insects or mice where ever they are stored.

• Boxes with dividers are best to pack ornaments in.

There are cardboard boxes made especially for fragile items. They come with adjustable inserts that forms individual cells for delicate items. These “Dish Pack” boxes are very popular at all our Two Men and a Truck branches • Keep extra hangers, hooks and ornament parts in a labeled bag or box.

LIGHTS • To prevent tangles, wrap lights around empty gift wrapping paper tubes.

• Leave the plug accessible by taping the ends of the light strands to the end of the tube. Next year you can quickly test the lights before unwinding them.

WRAPPING PAPER • Hanging garment bags provides good storage for wrapping paper rolls. Use outside pockets for gift tags, cards and tissue paper.

• To protect used rolls of paper, cut an empty wrapping paper tube from end to end and slide it over the roll.

• Ribbons and bows can be saved and reused, pack loosely so they keep their shape.

Some Other Considerations • Wrap holiday candles individually in cellophane and store in a cool place so they do not melt together.

• Pack an “open first” box. Place the decorations you use first in here with essentials such as extension cords.

• Use a “Wardrobe Box” to hang and store seasonal clothing that you only wear twice a year like that special snowman sweater from your mother-in-law or that flashing Christmas tie. This way you can find it, wear it, and store it away on a hanger easily.

• If you haven’t used a decoration in a few years donate it. If it is damaged, get rid of it.

• Take special care if you are storing your items in a damp area like your basement. Don’t store boxes near sources of heat and moisture.

• The most important tip is to label every box. The more detailed the description, the easier it will be to find things. Use different colors to distinguish different holidays. For example, use orange for Halloween, brown for Thanksgiving, and red or green for Christmas.

• Take a digital photo of special care items like snow globes or wreaths, print them off on regular paper and tape the photo to the outside of the box as an easy description of what’s inside.

All Two Men and a Truck branches in Canada offers a variety of storage boxes and packing supplies suitable to store all your decorative treasures. Visit www.twomen.ca for a location near you.

• Store colored lights in a dark place to prevent fading –- especially blues, greens and purples.
