Holiday Shopping

This holiday season try to be mindful on your spending habits.  If you’re like me you tend to spend more money during this time of the year than any other time.  Well this year things are going to be different.

Be wise about your spending. One of the best ways to be wise is to be aware.  Be conscious of those little upgrades and add-ons when making a purchase  If you don’t need it then don’t buy it.

Be a smart shopper. The most expensive gift in the store is not necessarily the one that says I love you the most.  Look for the discount and the sale, but on top of that compare prices.  Just because one store has an item on sale doesn’t mean that another store doesn’t have that same item for a lower price.

Stay cool. Is your thermostat on super high?  Turn it down.  Use a blanket and wear socks.  If you are in your apartment all day long your body heat will adjust accordingly.

ABBERLY GREEN APARTMENT HOMES

When you step out of your apartment majority of the time the first place you go is to your vehicle.  We all need to drive safe.  Whether you live in an apartment, a house or in a mobile home using mobile devices or texting while driving is not a good idea.

DO APARTMENT DWELLERS DRIVE SAFER THAN OTHER PEOPLE?

Drive Safer, Texters

Can your vehicle fit more gadgets in it?  Is that safe?  Maybe it’s not the gadgets but the drivers that are unsafe?  We just need safer drivers…

Text Driving is Only the Beginning

Now a days more cars, SUV’s and everything in between are being made with more technology.  Texting while driving is only the beginning.  Several years ago new cars used to come with the bar bones of equipment and gadgets.  But if you look at vehicles now you’ll see USB connectors for ipods and mp3’s, DVD screens in the head rests and doors and all types of creative electronics.  You can see that more vehicles are coming standard with GPS systems and navigation devices.  Many vehicles are even wi-fi ready, so you pull out of the car lot as a mobile network.

More Tech, More Gadgets Less Driving

The younger drivers are welcoming the technology, many of the older drivers can do without it.  I personally say bring it on.  My car is already like my office.  I have my home office and my car office.  Let me hook my laptop to the dash board and turn the car into surf city. Vroom! Vroom! (FYI that’s a joke)

It’s all about convenience and speed, mobile speed.  But we really do have to be safer as drivers.  Please do not text and drive.  Texting and driving is illegal and it really isn’t safe at all.  Pull over or wait until you get to your destination.  Learn more from the No Phone Zone website.
