house

Three day weekends should be spent relaxing and spending time with family or they could be spent cleaning everything you should have cleaned all year but didn't get around to it.

According to a new survey from This is Money out of England . . . but one we're pretty sure applies even more over here . . . the average person has $5,600 worth of junk sitting around their house.

It's amazing the mess we make on a daily basis.  It's so bad that we spend almost two hours a day, every day, cleaning. According to a new survey from PR Newswire, the average American adult spends 13 hours a week cleaning.  Women bring that average up . . . cleaning 15.6 hours per week . . . men bring that average down . . . cleaning 10.2 hours per week.

Last night my friend called me in tears because she got into an big argument about a staircase with her husband. Apparently, the argument got so heat

Buying a house is incredibly stressful.  It's so stressful that it makes the process of actually moving in seem easy.  And a new survey put into perspective just how stressful it is.

I have some good friends who live out of town. They have always told me to call them if I ever needed a place to stay. So I decided to take them up on their offer. I called my friends to make arrangements for the weekend and the response I got was disappointing, she said, "Well, I guess we can rearrange our schedule"...

People justify expensive home improvements by saying that they'll "pay for themselves".  That means they'll add more to the home's value than the cost of doing them. But it turns out they usually don't.  According to Yahoo Finance the only renovation that increases the cost of the home enough to recoup 100% of the cost is replacing older doors with steel ones.

We have all heard the talk that the housing market is in a slump, but when it breaks, boy, will Aaron Spelling's family hit the jackpot. For the third consecutive year, the late TV magnate's Holmby Hills, California home, dubbed the Manor, tops the list of most expensive homes for sale in the US, as noted by Unique Homes magazine. The 'Beverly Hills, 90210' creator's pad comes with a very Beverly
