Happy Holidays! Please Don't Text and Drive!

As many of us start to travel to see our families this holiday season, this seems like a good time to remind everyone to not text and drive.  Your friends and families would rather have you alive than to receive one last text message from you.  Be safe and Happy Holidays!

But I can't afford it . . . .

Joni and I often meet people who tell us that they'd love to buy their own place but don't think they can't afford it.  That may be true today, but can it be something you change? Often, through talking with folks, we discover that they have habits that could easily be changed to allow them to save the money that would allow them to meet their goals -- often without even feeling the pinch!

Do you go to Starbucks or Port City Java every morning for your caffeine fix?  By making coffee at home, you could save anywhere from $40 to $100 a month!  Go for an afternoon fix as well?  Double that!  How many of those little habits do you have?  Many of us don't bat an eyelash at these purchases, particularly when we're in the habit of putting it on a charge card.  Establishing a budget and sticking to it allowed me to save the down-payment I needed to buy my first house in a very short time.

As the new year approaches, now is the perfect time to schedule a financial tune-up with a professional Financial Coach.  Melissa Thomas is one of the most encouraging, knowledgeable people I've met.  She can help you review your budget, talk about what's important to you in your future, and help hold you accountable to those goals.

Melissa has generously offered a "Buy One, Get One" special on her consulting services if purchased before December 31, 2014.  Mention WaveHouse Properties and she'll also throw in a free 30-minute telephone consultation to see if coaching is right for you! 

Melissa the Coach

Joni and I look forward to helping you reach your goals in 2015!

Scarves in the Port City

Photo Courtesy of Scarves in the Port City

This time of year, despite moving to the South, my feet are ALWAYS cold.  I wear thick socks around the house and usually have a blanket covering them as well.  It's hard to believe I grew up in Kansas where the temps often fell below zero and then spent nearly 20 years in the DC Metro area -- and survived.  I tell you this because it reminds me that there are so many people who don't have the luxury of having thick socks or a blanket they can throw over their feet while snuggled up on a sofa in a home with heat.

Last year, while walking down the street, I noticed a scarf hanging on a fence post.  Of course, I thought someone had lost it, but then noticed a little tag that stated the scarf had been left there intentionally for anyone who might need warmth.  I was impressed and immediately went home to locate the responsible charity.  This is a project called "Scarves in the Port City".

If you've got some old scarves around the house, have a talent for knitting/crocheting, or even like me, got an eMail this morning from World Market that all scarves are 50% off, please consider dropping them at the following locations:

Clean Eatz -- 206 Racine Drive
Dock Street Oyster Bar -- 12 Dock Street
DFIT Demetrius Farrior's Island Training -- 5653 Carolina Beach Road (between 5:30 a.m.-10 a.m.)
Vapor Shack -- 4606 Maple Avenue (Wilmington) and 324 Village Road (Leland)
Wilmington Taco Factory & American Grill -- 1051 S. College Road
Eastern Therapeutic Center -- 3333 Wrightsville Avenue, Suite M
Or simply eMail me and I'll be glad to come by and pick them up and deliver them for you.

Wishing you and yours a very warm and merry holiday season!

~Gregory
