We all know how tough it can be to save up for a significant expense in the future. With prices rising every day, our expenditures are also following suit. So how can you possibly buy that dream car or the home you’ve always wanted? Let’s learn how!
Searching for the perfect property made easy.

Real Estate
When is the best time to buy a home?
Whenever you’ve saved enough for a down payment on the house; have found a good mortgage broker; and found the city you want to live in, of course! The market keeps fluctuating now and then, so it can feel like the right time might never come. My suggestion would be to start planning a few years in advance if you can, so that by the time you have enough saved up, you’re ready to start hunting for homes in whichever city you prefer. By this time, you would also have enough market knowledge and (hopefully) a trusted agent by your side who can guide you through it all. Get started today by reading some home buying tips here.

Should I really start saving up for retirement from my 20s?
Believe it or not, many people often spend their entire income in 2-3 weeks of having received it. While it’s true that daily expenses can take a toll on our money, it’s important to understand the power of saving up—the compounding effect, if you will. You can start out by saving a little (say $100 or less) a month, and then move up to bigger investments like an IRA. How much money to save also depends a lot on what you’re saving for. You can learn more through the blog posts!
Automotive
How much of a car's repairs can I DIY?
The answer really depends on how much car knowledge you have. If it’s small fixes like tire changes or engine oil checks, the majority can be DIYed. If you’re more skilled, then you may even be able to do some major fixes on your own! However, to be on the safe side, especially for more serious problems, you should seek professional help from a trusted mechanic. Check out some of our automotive blog posts to learn some handy DIY tricks.
