Make sure your car is packed right so you can not only squeeze in everything you need to but that all your passengers are happy and safe. Figure out What Needs to Get Moved The first step is to  sort, shrink (as in getting rid of of stuff) then pack .

If you're only packing a few items - items that you don't want to pack  in the moving truck  - then determine what can be packed into a box, what is fragile, and the stuff that won't break no matter what.

When someone is right over and over and over, eventually people start paying attention.  Personally, I have learned to tune out the “forecasts” of most “economic experts” out there.  As an attorney, I was trained to be skeptical, and I have found that most forecasts about what the financial markets are going to do are not worth the paper they are printed on.  However, once in a while something comes along that really gets my attention.  Over the past few days, I have seen a number of references to the remarkable forecasts of Bo Polny of  Gold 2020 Forecast .  In recent months he has correctly predicted that U.S. stocks would begin to drop in July, that there would be a huge plunge in August and that that the month of September would be rather uneventful.  Now he is saying that he expects “November to be a complete meltdown on the U.S. and world markets”.  Just because he has been right in the past does not guarantee that he will be correct this t...

Here are four tips when buying or renting a home in a foreign country: 1. Understand the local statutes If you’re thinking about buying a home, make sure you understand any rules regarding purchases by noncitizens. In some cases, there are tax advantages to owning foreign property. Some countries restrict foreign ownership entirely. Other countries may charge foreigners higher prices or demand that buyers pay cash. There can also be resale restrictions—controls to prevent foreign sellers from taking the proceeds out of the country at the end of an international assignment.
