More On Reverse Mortgage

Most of you may wonder why I am talking about reverse mortgage here in my blog. A lot of you thinks it is not related to being a mommy and being a stay at home mom. It may not have a direct impact on our lives but I was thinking of our future. It may be too early but I am now researching on how me and my partner’s life will be a lot easier when we grow older. I have no plans on asking money or support from my kids. I believe that our kids should never have the burden of taking care of us when we got older. We are the one responsible for taking good care of them.

Looking for options are a good way to show your kids that you will be dependent on them. I can see that reverse mortgage is a good option for senior citizens. I am really studying it hard, knowing the reverse mortgage pros and cons. I have to make sure if it would really fit us and if it is available in our country. If it is available here, I have a good feeling that this one will solve our senior years needs. I have been asking my mother if she have some reverse mortgage information or if she knew someone who can discuss it to me. Mom is the one who is into this kind of world, insurance, mortgage, real estates and the likes.

I am really firm in my belief that I should be the one taking care of myself when I got older. Sam (one my online buddy) shares the same belief. I am glad that my mother believes that too. She always say to us that we are not responsible for her. But of course, even if she say that, we still help her (in fact half of my income from January to March were give to her).

Busy Days

I have busy days ahead of me, oh no, I got busy weeks ahead of me. Second born will be turning 5 this March 15 and I am not finished planning and shopping yet. Today, me and sissy will sneak to the barat haven of the country, Divisoria! I need to buy some stuff for their loot bags and decors for his cake. I don’t bake cake but we love to deconstruct it and make it the way we want it to be. I usually buy a plain chocolate cake and arrange stuff over it.

See the cakes above? We bought it plain and designed it with the birthday’s theme. The birthday boy wants a Spongebob theme on his birthday so we’re off to buy Spongebob! Aside from the birthday, tomorrow is laundry day, and then Monday will be Sati’s 4th month bday and then Tuesday onwards is preparation time for the party which will happen on Monday. So from now until March 15, I may not be available but I will still be blogging.

Helpers For Hire

We have decided that now is not the right time to move. Although the threats of flood ares till there, it is more practical to stay here for a little longer. Our decision was influenced by our financial limitations. So for now, we won’t need to hire a mover helper. Movers should really hire a helper when they are moving, it would save them time and energy for a little amount of money. And if you are on the look out for helpers, go and check out HireAHelper.com.

HireAHelper.com provides helpers, an Internet-based service that connects people that need helpers and laborers that need the job. Los Angeles movers won’t have a hard time looking for helpers. All they need to do is select a helper in their area. Helper ranges from moving help, landscaping help and cleaning help. If they found what kind of help they need, they would be given a quote and they can look into the helper’s profile, past job and past performance. Chicago movers, can do the same too. After they choose a helper, the helper will contact them. Once you accept their help, you will be charged through your credit card and will be given an authorization code. When the job is done, all you need to do is hand over the authorization code to the helper.

Hiring a helper has never been this easy. For sure, moving will never be the same again.
