Maybe its just me – but sleep seems to be in the spotlight these past few years. Namely, how a person can get good sleep. You can certainly tell when you don’t get enough and (sometimes) when you’ve had too much. But the lack of it can affect all aspects of our lives. I’ve had my

One of the benefits of having sold our rental house earlier this year was that it freed up some cash that we could use on some “deferred” items we haven’t been able to purchase. Buying a mattress was on the top of that list. Ever since my wife quit her job due to some health-related
In September 2016, my neighbor and I took the plunge into doing Airbnb rentals, and we didn’t know the first thing about getting started. One of the first questions we had was how are we going to secure the house? Are we going to have to give a key to each visitor that came? In
