BUYING YOUR FIRST HOME can be exciting--and also terrifying! Where do you start? How do I pick an agent? How much should I put towards the down payment? Will I qualify for a loan? What goes into writing an offer? I've found that the best first step you can take is figuring out your mortgage situation. It sets the stage for everything you'll consider when it comes to deciding which home is right for you. The checklist below is a good reference to start with--we'll go through them in some detail below:
Pay down as much debt as possible.
Determine your home buying budget and get pre-approved for a mortgage.
Learn about the in's and out's of the home buying process.
Build a good savings account buffer in at least one of your bank accounts.
Budget for expenses beyond your mortgage.
Decide what type of mortgage is right for you.
Start putting together your paperwork/documentation to support your application.
Paying Down Your Debt
Paying off or paying down debt is first on the list of what to do if you want to buy your first home. And while you're at it, checking your credit score and credit report are musts. Focusing on paying down your credit cards and paying your bills on time can be a quick way to see your credit score move in the positive direction.
You could get a mortgage with a FICO credit score as low as 500, and 620 is typically the minimum for a conventional mortgage. But the higher your score, the more likely you are to get the best interest rate and terms for your mortgage.
Know Your Budget, and Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage
Look at your income and budget, including how much house you can afford, before you choose a down payment, type of mortgage or house--or anything else.
A mortgage pre-approval can give you a solid idea of your mortgage eligibility and how much money you could borrow. This letter also signals to sellers that your lender is on board and you're ready to buy. A pre-approval typically doesn't impact your credit score, but ask your mortgage broker to be safe.
Keep in mind that the maximum amount you are approved for by a mortgage lender isn't necessarily what you can afford.
Understand the Homebuying Process
Being aware of the steps in the mortgage process can be helpful. It will help you prepare for what's ahead.
Generally, the steps are:
Get pre-approved for a mortgage by a lender or mortgage broker.
Shop for a home and make an offer.
Secure a mortgage.
Have the home inspected and appraised.
Complete mortgage underwriting and closing.
Have Money in the Bank
Having a good cash cushion is helpful not only for your down payment but also to help pay for closing costs, maintenance/repairs, and emergencies.
How much money do you really need to put down on your first home? It depends.
Most experts suggest that you have at least 20% of the purchase price saved as a down payment. You can buy a house without putting 20% down – and many people do – but there are good reasons to put at least 20% down. It means you'll avoid paying for private mortgage insurance, or PMI. A bigger down payment also reduces the amount you will need to finance and pay interest on.
If a 20% down payment is out of reach or would prevent you from paying closing costs or expenses after the sale, you have options. Some government agencies and lenders offer first-time homebuyer programs that can help with down payments and closing costs.
Budget for Expenses Beyond Your Mortgage
A home loan is a long-term, monthly expense you're taking on, and having a financial cushion after closing is key. Be prepared to make payments after a job loss or another hardship.
Good and bad times lie ahead, and you want to be covered on your mortgage either way.
Figuring out what you can afford means adding:
Homeowners association fees
Potentially higher utility costs if you're buying a larger home
Amenity upkeep, such as a lawn or pool
Decide What Type of Mortgage Is Right for You
Even as a first-time homebuyer, you have an array of mortgage options to choose from. Do you want a government-backed or conventional mortgage? Do you prefer adjustable or fixed interest rates?
A government-backed mortgage guarantees your loan, protecting the mortgage lender from losses if you default on it. The Federal Housing Administration, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and U.S. Department of Agriculture typically offer these programs.
For those who qualify, this type of loan can offer lower approval requirements than conventional mortgages and low or no minimum down payment. But conventional loans may have lower interest rates compared with government-backed mortgages.
Another big choice is between adjustable- and fixed-rate mortgages.
An adjustable-rate mortgage, or ARM, has an interest rate that can fluctuate over the life of the loan along with benchmark rates. A fixed-rate mortgage, on the other hand, has an interest rate that never changes, even if rates fall.
Some homebuyers are wary of ARMs and for good reason. The rate for your ARM could adjust – and with it, your monthly mortgage payment – to well beyond what you can afford.
But ARMS can make sense for some borrowers. If the interest rate is low and you won't live in your house for long, an ARM might be a good fit for you.
Limits on how often ARMs can adjust may make them more appealing to some buyers. But overall, a fixed-rate mortgage can be a safer, more predictable choice for first-time buyers.
Consider the Length of Your Home Loan
Most homeowners choose between a 15- or 30-year mortgage, though other durations may be available depending on the lender.
A 30-year mortgage may offer a more affordable monthly payment, but a 15-year mortgage may reduce long-term interest and help you pay off the loan much earlier. Still, the monthly payment on a 15-year mortgage can be a barrier for some homebuyers.
Start Gathering Paperwork
Applying for and closing on a mortgage requires a lot of documents, and working to get ahead can't hurt.
Here are some documents needed for a mortgage:
Federal income tax records for the past couple of years
Recent paycheck stubs
Canceled checks for rent or utility payments
Also, you'll want to gather any other documents a mortgage lender might want to see, such as credit card and student loan account statements.

Financing The Future
Pivoting financial assets to support sustainable aviation is not an easy task. It requires the knowledge necessary to navigate the extreme complexity of the category. Within the aerospace industry, there are numerous strategies, technologies, business models, and companies emerging from the global climate agenda. The financial sector must learn how to evaluate green investment opportunities and assess climate-related and social risks affecting the aerospace industry.
Currently, the deal activity remains strong - innovation, technology transformation, and geopolitical and regulatory shifts will likely drive a robust deal environment across all industry segments. As industry players reevaluate their portfolios and focus on divestments of non-core assets, well prepared companies with strong balance sheets are making smart M&A decisions, creating increased shareholder value. While post-pandemic recovery remains a key driver in commercial aerospace, geopolitical tensions could continue to support deal-making in defence.

The lottery is a popular form of gambling in which participants pay for a ticket and then hope to win a prize based on random selection. There are many different types of lotteries, including those that award units in subsidized housing blocks or kindergarten placements at a certain school. Other types of lotteries award money, such as those organized by state governments in the United States. The purpose of the lottery is to raise funds for various projects, such as education, public works, or health and welfare programs. It is also a way to promote sports, such as horse racing or soccer.
In the past, state lotteries operated like traditional raffles, with players buying tickets for a future drawing. However, innovations in the 1970s dramatically transformed these games. These innovations allowed lotteries to offer prizes in the form of cash or goods immediately. This reduced the waiting time for winners and increased revenues. Lottery commissions promoted these innovations by advertising the chance to win big and arguing that playing the lottery was a fun and affordable way to enjoy the thrill of gambling.
A common misconception about the lottery is that it’s a “gamble” in which the odds of winning are long. This misperception is partly true, but it doesn’t explain why people play. Instead, it’s about an inextricable human impulse to gamble and a belief that the lottery represents a chance at quick riches, especially in this age of declining social mobility.
Many state lotteries have become increasingly complex. They have adopted a number of innovative marketing strategies, including advertising on billboards and radio stations, and they have introduced new games to increase revenues and keep people interested. In addition, they have adopted rules that prohibit the sale of tickets to minors and have instituted restrictions on how much money a player can spend on one ticket.
Some states even operate multiple lotteries, with each offering its own prizes and odds of winning. However, the odds of winning a major prize are still relatively low. For example, the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are only 1 in 195 million. Despite these odds, the lottery is still a popular choice for many Americans.
To improve your chances of winning, choose numbers with a high probability of being drawn. Avoid numbers that are closely related to each other or those that end in the same digits, as this tends to decrease your chances of winning. In addition, try to purchase more tickets to increase your chances of winning. It’s also a good idea to mix up your numbers and select numbers that are not common to other players. Lastly, don’t buy lottery tickets that have sentimental value. Instead, consider purchasing lottery tickets with a group of friends or family members. This will significantly improve your chances of winning!


The California Appellate Court, Fourth District, recently ruled in favor of a bank in a lawsuit arising from a check cashing scheme, confirming that the Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC") overrides inconsistent principles of state common law, and did not require the bank to prove it was free from negligence.
A copy of the opinion is available at: http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/opinions/documents/E049170A.pdf.
Chino Commercial Bank, N.A. ("Chino") brought an action against Brian Peters and Marylin Charlnoes for breach of contract and fraud. Peters and Charlnoes maintained a checking account with Chino through their small construction business, Faux Themes Inc. ("Faux"). In March of last year, Peters entered into a business arrangement with a man he met on the internet, whereby the man would send Peters checks to deposit into Faux's account with Chino and Peters would then wire the funds to a bank account in Hong Kong. Peters would retain a fifteen percent fee for this service.
Overall, Peters wired just under half a million dollars to Hong Kong, but the checks he deposited with Chino were ultimately dishonored as forgeries. Chino then brought an action against Peters and Charlnoes to recover the funds overdrafted from Faux's account, seeking to attach property of Peters and Charlnoes under a common law contract theory. The trial court found in Chino's favor, placing the burden of proving any negligence by Chino in accepting the altered checks or wiring the funds on Peters and Charlnoes.
Peters and Charlnoes appealed the trial court's ruling, arguing that Chino should have been required to prove it was free from negligence under the traditional principles of California common law that govern contracts. The Appellate Court rejected the appeal, explaining that California's enactment of the UCC preempted any inconsistent common law principles. It then discussed Chino's potential liability under the relevant UCC provisions for (1) accepting the altered checks; and (2) wiring the funds as directed by Peters.
Concerning Chino's acceptance of the altered checks, the Appellate Court looked to the UCC's chargeback provisions to determine that Chino could, in fact, be liable for charging the amounts of the dishonored checks back to Faux's account if it failed to exercise ordinary care in accepting the altered checks. However, the Appellate Court found that Chino presented uncontradicted evidence that it used ordinary care, and that Chino was therefore entitled to charge the funds back to Faux's account. Specifically, the Appellate Court relied on evidence that Chino's employees (1) looked for irregularities on the face of the altered checks without finding any; and (2) considered whether the amounts of the checks were consistent with deposits to other companies owned and operated by Peters at the same address as Faux.
Concerning Chino's wiring of the funds as directed by Peters, the Appellate Court looked to Article 4A governing funds transfers. Noting that Article 4A specifically limits the liability of banks in connection with the transfer of funds to that created under its express provisions, the Appellate Court held that negligence is not an element of the article's general obligation of good faith, and nothing in the current version of Article 4A would otherwise create liability for a bank negligently accepting a duly authorized wire transfer.

Managing Debt: Effective Strategies
Vladimir Kouznetsov, EA, CFP®
July 25, 2023
Practical Strategies and Approaches for Effective Debt Management
Being in debt can feel like having a gigantic rock tied to your ankle. It is hard to move forward, and the constant worry and stress associated with it can be overwhelming. In this article, we'll explore several debt management strategies, comparing their benefits and drawbacks, and discuss how a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) can guide you through your unique financial landscape towards a more secure future.
The Importance of Dealing with Debt
One of the fundamental aspects of financial health is the effective management of debt. Unchecked, debt can spiral out of control, leading to increased interest payments, poor credit scores, and severe financial hardship. Therefore, dealing with debt promptly is crucial. It not only reduces financial stress but also frees up money that can be directed toward savings and investments.
Debt Management Strategies
Let's look at five common strategies for managing debt: Debt Snowball, Debt Avalanche, Debt Consolidation, Balance Transfer, and Debt Management Plan.
“Debt Snowball” Strategy
The “debt snowball” method involves paying off debts, starting from the smallest balance and working up to the largest. This strategy can provide psychological motivation, as the debtor sees immediate results as smaller debts are paid off quickly.
This debt reduction method was popularized by personal finance expert Dave Ramsey. Here's how it works:
List your debts from smallest to largest: Irrespective of the interest rate, list all your debts in ascending order based on the outstanding balance.
Make minimum payments on all your debts except the smallest: Allocate as much money as you can towards the smallest debt while maintaining the minimum payments on your other debts.
Focus on the smallest debt: By concentrating on the smallest debt first, you're likely to pay it off quicker, which gives you a psychological win and builds momentum.
Roll over the payments to the next smallest debt: Once the smallest debt is paid off, take the money you were putting towards that debt and now apply it to the next smallest debt on your list. Over time, these payments will 'snowball,' allowing you to pay off larger debts faster.
Repeat until all debts are paid off: Continue this method, progressively eliminating each debt. As each debt is paid off, the freed-up payment amount should then be applied to the next debt on the list, accelerating the paydown process.
The power of the debt snowball method lies in its psychological effect. By focusing on the smallest debts first, individuals can experience quick wins, which can increase motivation to continue paying down debt. However, it's worth noting that this method might not always be the most cost-efficient approach, as it doesn't take into account the interest rates of the debts. Another popular strategy that does consider interest rates is the 'debt avalanche' method, which prioritizes paying off the debt with the highest interest rate first.
“Debt Avalanche” Strategy
The “debt avalanche” method focuses on paying off the debt with the highest interest rate first, regardless of its size. Over time, this method saves you more in interest payments than the snowball method, but it might take longer to feel the satisfaction of completely paying off your debts. Here is how it works:
List your debts from highest to lowest interest rate: Unlike the debt snowball method, the debt avalanche strategy focuses first on the debt with the highest interest rate, not the smallest balance.
Make minimum payments on all your debts: Similar to the debt snowball strategy, make the minimum payments on all your debts each month to avoid late fees and potential damage to your credit score.
Pay extra towards the debt with the highest interest rate: Any extra money you have for debt repayment should go towards the debt with the highest interest rate. By doing this, you're minimizing the amount of interest you'll pay over time.
Roll over payments to the debt with the next highest interest rate: Once the highest-interest debt is paid off, take what you were paying on that debt and apply it to the debt with the next highest interest rate.
Repeat until all debts are paid off: Continue this method, progressively eliminating each debt. The process speeds up over time as you roll over payments to debts with lower and lower interest rates, giving it an "avalanche" effect.
The advantage of the debt avalanche method is that it minimizes the amount of interest you'll pay over time. However, it may take longer to pay off your first debt compared to the debt snowball method, as the debt with the highest interest rate may also be one of the larger debts. This could potentially make the process feel slower and require more discipline, but it can save you more money in the long run.
This involves combining all your debts into a single loan, typically with a lower interest rate. This strategy simplifies the payment process and can potentially save you money over time. However, it requires good credit for the best rates and can be risky if you use home equity, for example, as you could lose your home if you default. Here's a brief outline of how it works:
Obtain a debt consolidation loan: To start, you'll need to secure a loan that's large enough to cover the total amount of the debts you want to consolidate. The loan could come from various sources, including personal loans, home equity loans, or balance transfer credit cards.
Pay off existing debts: Once you've secured the loan, you'll use the funds to pay off the existing debts. This could be a mix of different types of debt, such as credit cards, student loans, or other personal loans.
Repay the consolidation loan: After the individual debts have been paid off, you're left with the single consolidation loan. You'll need to make regular payments on this loan until it's fully repaid.
The primary goal of debt consolidation is to simplify debt repayment. Instead of having to manage multiple payments each month, you only need to worry about one. Moreover, if the interest rate on your consolidation loan is lower than the average interest rate on your original debts, you can save money in the long run.
However, it's important to remember that debt consolidation doesn't reduce the total amount you owe—it just restructures it. You'll still need to make regular payments on the consolidation loan, and if the loan is secured against your property, like in the case of a home equity loan, failing to do so could put your home at risk. Always be sure to fully understand the terms of a consolidation loan and ensure that the payments are within your budget.
As with any financial decision, it's usually a good idea to talk with a financial advisor before pursuing debt consolidation. They can help you understand the potential risks and benefits and decide if it's the right strategy for your situation.
A balance transfer involves shifting your debt to a new credit card with a lower interest rate, often 0%, for an introductory period. This method can save you money if you can pay off the debt within the promotional period but be aware of the high interest that follows. It is commonly used for high-interest credit card debt. Here's a brief overview of how it works:
Open a New Credit Card with a Balance Transfer Offer: First, you need to find a credit card offering a balance transfer deal, often with a low or even 0% introductory interest rate. These promotional rates typically last for a specific period, usually between 6 to 18 months, after which a higher rate will apply.
Transfer Your Debt: Next, you'll transfer the balances from your high-interest credit cards to the new card. There's usually a fee involved in this process, typically between 3% to 5% of the total transfer amount.
Pay Off the Transferred Balance: Now that your debt is on the new card, your goal should be to pay it off as much as possible, if not entirely, during the low-interest promotional period. The advantage of this method is that more of your payment goes towards the principal balance rather than interest, allowing you to pay down the debt faster.
Balance transfers can be an effective way to reduce high-interest debt, but there are some potential pitfalls to be aware of. First, after the promotional period ends, the interest rate on the card can increase significantly, so it's important to pay off the balance before that happens.
Second, balance transfers usually come with fees, which could negate some of the savings from the lower interest rate. Additionally, applying for a new credit card can have a temporary negative effect on your credit score.
Lastly, this strategy requires discipline. If you continue to rack up debt on your old cards after transferring the balance, you'll find yourself in an even deeper hole.
As with any debt reduction strategy, it's essential to consider your personal financial situation and habits before proceeding with a balance transfer. If used wisely, it can be a valuable tool for managing and reducing debt.
Debt Management Plan
A Debt Management Plan (DMP) is a formal agreement between you and your creditors to repay your debts over a specified period. It can help reduce monthly payments and interest rates, but it can also negatively impact your credit score.
Here's how it works:
Consultation with a Credit Counselor: First, you'll meet with a credit counselor to review your entire financial situation. They'll help you create a budget that factors in all your income, expenses, and debts.
Creation of the Debt Management Plan: If a DMP seems like a viable strategy for you, the counselor will help you devise a repayment plan based on your budget. This plan will include a schedule for paying back all your unsecured debts (like credit cards or personal loans), usually within three to five years.
Negotiation with Creditors: Next, the credit counseling agency will reach out to your creditors and negotiate more favorable terms on your behalf. This can often result in lower interest rates, waived fees, and lower monthly payments. Note that some creditors may even freeze additional credit until your debts are paid off under the DMP.
Regular Payments: Once the plan is in place, you'll start making regular payments to the credit counseling agency, which will distribute these payments among your creditors. You'll have to ensure your payments are timely and in full, or you could lose the benefits negotiated by the agency.
Completion of the Plan: Finally, once all the debts in the DMP are paid off, you will have completed the plan.
A DMP can be an effective way to get out of debt, but it does require discipline and commitment, as you'll need to stick to a strict budget for several years. Also, a DMP is designed to pay off unsecured debts and won't include secured debts like mortgages or auto loans.
It's also worth noting that while a DMP can help you manage your debts and could potentially lower your interest rates, it's not a quick fix, and it doesn't reduce the total amount you owe. Additionally, while being on a DMP, your creditors may restrict you from opening new lines of credit.
Before entering into a DMP, make sure to find a reputable credit counseling agency, ideally one that's a nonprofit, and always understand the terms and potential consequences of the plan.
Each of these strategies has its pros and cons, and the best one for you depends on your specific financial situation and personal preferences.
The Role of Certified Financial Planner (CFP®)
Working with a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) professional can be an invaluable asset in your journey to becoming debt-free. A CFP® is a professional who is trained and certified to help individuals manage their financial affairs. They provide a customized approach to debt management, taking into consideration your income, expenditure, assets, liabilities, and personal goals.
A CFP® can guide you through the maze of debt management strategies, helping you choose the one that best fits your situation. They will assist you in creating a budget and financial plan that not only helps you get out of debt but also sets you on a path to financial security.
Furthermore, a CFP® can offer you comprehensive financial advice beyond debt management. This may include investing for retirement, tax planning, estate planning, and insurance considerations.
Managing debt is a crucial step toward financial freedom. While there are several debt management strategies available, each has its benefits and drawbacks. A CFP® can provide valuable insights and guidance tailored to your specific needs, helping you navigate your financial journey. By combining an effective debt management strategy with a comprehensive financial plan, you can turn the tide on your debt, build wealth, and secure a financially stable future.

As of late 2014, you can now (sometimes double) your retirement contributions and, best of all, roll the increase to your Roth IRA when you leave employment.
Your employer’s plan and your cash flow has to allow for this, but here is how it works: Your “regular” 401k contributions can be as much as $18,000 ($24,000 if you are over age 50). Your employer may or may not match part of that contribution. The total you are allowed to contribute is $53,000 ($59,000 if over age 50), so the difference between that limit and your prior employer & employee contributions can be contributed to your retirement account on an after-tax basis (no tax deduction). However, when you leave, you can roll that entire amount of after-tax contributions to your Roth IRA. This is vastly better than the current $5,500 limit on annual Roth contributions (none if your AGI is over about $132K single, $194K married filing joint).
Retirement and tax rules can be complicated, so please contact us if you would like to hear further about this opportunity.

Can You Afford To Attend Lyme Academy College Of Fine Arts
Once you have a Net Price estimate, youll want to figure out whether your family can afford to pay Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts tuition and costs. Once again, the Net Price is the total cost of attending, minus the aid you can expect to get . It’s the amount you’d have to cover yourself.
The US government has come up with a standardized way to calculate how much a typical family can afford to pay without help. They call this the Expected Family Contribution, or EFC.
As an example, a family that brings home $80,000 in income before taxes, with no assets and no other children in college, has an EFC of around $7,000. This is the amount the government thinks that family can reasonably pay, and the school will have to step in and cover the rest.
Colleges use this number as a guideline to decide how much aid to give you, but it’s just a guideline. Some schools will be stingier with aid, and you’ll have to pay more than the government’s suggested EFC.
So we’re going to calculate your EFC and compare it to Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts’s Net Price. If the Net Price is higher than the EFC, the school will cost more than you can typically afford. It’s a simple equation:

Lyme Academy College Of Fine Arts Now An Affiliate Of The University Of New Haven
University of New Haven
We represented the University of New Haven in connection with the affiliation of Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts in Old Lyme, Connecticut with UNH. This exciting opportunity for UNH allows UNH to enhance its experiential learning opportunities in the fine arts and adds to its growing footprint of campuses throughout Connecticut and beyond. In connection with the rare affiliation of two institutions of higher learning, a team of attorneys and paralegals at the firm addressed the many legal issues presented – ownership, corporate governance, 501 and other tax matters, endowment and charitable giving matters, accreditation and regulatory consents, human resources, employee benefits, faculty, staff and student matters, real estate, environmental matters, housing , degree requirements, financial aid, accounting, and lender consents.


Money is far from the most important thing in the world, but our lives are certainly more difficult when we don’t have enough.
Recent reports say levels of debt are at an all-time high, specifically the amount owed on loans and credit cards. Many young people find themselves saddled with student loans that can take years to pay off, eating into rewards from the careers they work hard to build.
By making sure they are money-wise at a young age, we can help our children develop skills and attitudes to money that will serve them well throughout their lives.
Age 5 and under
- Show them the difference between different banknotes and coins. For young kids, size matters – they’ll choose a 10p piece over a 20p, or a nickel (five cents) instead of a dime (ten cents). Let them examine your coins – make sure they don’t put them in their mouths – and talk about the different values. Ask them to identify the different ones – ‘Which one is 50p?’ or ‘Which note is worth ten dollars?’
- Play ‘shop’. Kids love this game. Save empty packets and boxes from food and household goods, make pretend money out of paper – or buy toy versions if you prefer. This is a great way for kids to learn the basics of commerce, as well as developing their imaginations through role-play.
- Clip coupons. If you have money-off vouchers, explain what they are for. Give them to your child and ask them to look out for the relevant products when you go shopping. You can also point out any in-store offers, such as ‘three for the price of two’. Afterwards, look at your receipt with them and work out how much money you’ve saved by choosing the special offers.
Age 10 and under
- Introduce them to the concept of saving. Most children of this age receive a small allowance or pocket money, often in exchange for helping with household chores; if not, perhaps they receive money as gifts for Christmas and birthdays. Explain that for every pound, dollar or unit of your local currency they manage to save each month, you will double it (or give them an additional amount that works for you). They will find watching their cash increase over time exciting and be motivated to carry on.
- Help them open their own bank account. Many banks offer special accounts for children with benefits such as higher interest rates, free gifts or discounts at popular attractions. Use the experience as a learning opportunity, comparing the rates or rewards from several different banks and discussing which would be the best option. They will also enjoy the grown-up feeling of lining up to see the cashier with their own paying-in book.
- Car-boot and table-top sales are popular in the UK, as are yard-sales in the US. This is a good way to pass on unwanted clothes, toys and possessions and make extra money, sometimes for charity. There’s no reason why your child can’t be in charge, making decisions such as how much to charge for different items and agreeing on the discounts you’ll allow when haggling with customers.
- When they’re older, there’s no reason why your child shouldn’t learn how to manage a household budget. Sit down with them to discuss how much money comes into the home and how much goes out on essential costs such as utility bills. Talk about what’s left and how ‘disposable income’ works. If they had to make cuts, what would they do – give up a premium satellite television package or spend less on food bills? What would influence their choice? If you don’t want to disclose your true income, use percentages.
- Work with them to apply what they’ve learned to their own ‘budget’. How much of their allowance will they spend on magazines, cosmetics or treats? What about making sure they can top up their mobile phone credit or putting some aside for savings? Talk about the difference between ‘wants’ and ‘needs’. You can also introduce the idea of paying interest – if they run out of money and ask to borrow, explain that if it takes them more than two weeks to pay it back, you will add on a percentage to what they owe you. More than a month, you’ll add on a higher percentage.
- Teach them how to compare prices in the shops. If an item comes in different sizes according to brand, how would they work out which is cheaper? Look at the difference between own-label and branded products, and discuss how a difference in quality also plays a part in your choice. Which do they think would be the most economical?


Fundamental analysis gives you the actual reason of why assets move. For stocks, it is the intrinsic value of the company and thus over time, the price should slowly revert to that value (that can vary through time). With currencies, fundamental analysis is mainly used relatively and through many macroeconomic models that compare countries with each other. With commodities, fundamental analysis is mainly a supply and demand forecast.
The order of importance does not matter just as long as you put fundamental analysis first when dealing with long-term views.
Always do your due diligence.


HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BECOME AN ARCHITECT?
Whether you are looking to pursue a career in architecture or just trying to better understand the industry, we think it’s important to understand the financial effort that goes into becoming a licensed architect. This blog breaks down the cost of each step of becoming an architect in the US and suggests additional fees that aren’t always accounted for.
The cost of becoming an architect ranges based on where you study so we’ll use some tuition averages. In the 2021 - 2022 academic year, the average tuition cost for a Bachelor of Architecture degree was $32,320 per year. Therefore, we are going to assume that a typical 5-year undergraduate program costs an average of $161,600.
As an architect, you aren’t required to pursue a Masters degree, but because many do, we will include this in our calculation. Master of Architecture programs average $29,078 a year and range from 1-3 years so we will account for a total of $58,156 for a 2-year graduate program.
While in school, architecture students are required to purchase a laptop, software, books and drawings and modeling materials. This number can range greatly so we aren’t going to include it in our final calculation, but we thought it was important to mention.
In addition to a degree, aspiring architects are required to complete 3,740 hours across six knowledge sectors. This is typically done through internships while in school and/or the first few years working in the industry. These hours are logged through NCARB’s Architectural Experience Program (AXP). The registration fee to join AXP is $100 and the yearly renewal fee is $85. While it only takes about 2 years to complete the required hours, we are going to assume that it will take a minimum of 3 years to be ready to take the architecture exams. Therefore, an aspiring architect would need to track their hours through AXP for 3 years totaling $255.
While the only registration required is the AXP, there are many other organizations that aspiring architects choose to join for various reasons including networking, continuing education and volunteering. Someone might join the Architects Institute of America for an annual fee of $160 for access to networking and other architecture-related events while someone else might join the U.S. Green Building Council for an annual fee
of $129 in order to gain access to sustainability-related events. Or, someone might join both plus some other organizations! As you can see, they all range in price and joining depends on an individual's interests so we won't include these membership fees in our total cost.
Once an aspiring architect is ready to take their exams, they must apply for eligibility. In California, the fee to do so is $100. Once they are approved, they can start taking the exams.
There are 6 total Architect Registration Examinations (AREs). Each exam costs $235, however, most people fail at least 2 of the exams so we are going to account for 6 exams and 2 failed exams in our total calculation of $1,880.
After taking the AREs, aspiring architects in California must take the California Supplement Exam (CSE). The cost of this exam is $100. Once the exam is passed, there is an initial license fee of $300.
While there are many free resources to assist in studying, many people purchase study materials like books and/or subscriptions to online study classes. These resources range in price and the need varies per individual so we are not including this in our subtotal.
Considering education, experience and exams, the total cost of becoming an architect is just over $222,000. The table below summarizes all the costs included in the path to licensure. However, once an architect becomes licensed, there are other costs associated with maintaining a license including the yearly $225 renewal fee as well as the transfer fees to become licensed in other states.
