Change 28 – Learn More About Real Estate

I have decided to learn more about real estate.

As I mentioned over at No Credit Needed, I’m starting to save money for a future home purchase.  Right now, I live in a home provided by my employer, and I only know the basics about the home buying.  I need to know a lot more before I actually buy my own home.

I recently spoke with a good friend about his last home buying experience, and I’m reading all of the real estate posts over at PFBlogs.Org.  Hopefully, by the time we’re ready to buy, I’ll know enough so that I can make a good deal.

Change 27 – Track How Much Television I Watch

I have decided to track how much television I watch.

With the football season coming to an end, it’s time for me to reevaluate the amount of time I spend watching television.  I’m usually busy during the day and before the kids go to bed, but once they’re down, I like to unwind with some television.  I’m concerned, however, that I’m wasting too much time watching television – valuable time that I could be devoting to other, far more important activities.

I’ll track how much television I watch, during January, and if I think it’s too much, I’ll cut back during the rest of the year.  I have a few shows that I really like, so I’m not ready to get rid of the TV alltogether, but I might find that the majority of the things I watch only serve as filler.  We shall see.
