refund: Why shoud I use an energy saving light bulb - 06/21/08 10:24 AM
An energy saving light bulb that uses 16 watts of energy replaces an standard bulb utilizing 60 watts of energy. This eliminates the emission of 1300 pounds of carbon dioxide and 26 pounds of sulfur dioxide from a coal fired plant-producing electricity. Usaually they say to just change one bulb.

How to save money when getting a mortgage
First Mortgage Loans
Although your monthly payment may be higher, you can save tens of thousands of dollars in interest charges by shopping for the shortest-term mortgage you can afford. On a $100,000 fixed-rate loan at 7% annual percentage rate (APR), for example, you will pay over $75,000 less in interest on a 15-year mortgage than on a 30-year mortgage. You can save thousands of dollars in interest charges by shopping for the lowest-rate mortgage with the fewest points.

refund: Why you shouldn't buy a new car if you are looking to buy a home - 03/01/08 02:48 PM
Many people have come to me to buy a new home. In the beginning I lost a deal, because they bought a new car. So I tell all my buyers to not buy a new car when looking for a home.
When you get a raise or accumulate some money most people like to spend it. Some decide to buy a home. some a car then there are the people who like to buy both. They have a desire to spend money.

If you or your children love to explore new places, this is it.

refund: Time to start conserving your water usage in Austin Texas - 12/03/07 05:54 PM
If you are using Austin Energy as you water company now is the time to conserve water. From Dec 1 through Feb the city monitors your water use to determine waste water usage. If you use less water during that time you will save money the rest of the year. So that means dont water your grass, unless of course it is dying. I would wash my car somewhere else as well. It can really save you some money for the rest of the year. Hope this helps Austin Energy customers out there.
