    Man, I love TH-cam! I grew up in environments that were full of drugs, violence, and other bad stuff. I didn't learn about managing money or investing until I stumbled on TH-cam videos like yours. These videos taught me to hope for better things, to be smarter with whatever money I have, and to make things happen. My life has improved a lot, thanks to you guys and others. Thank you so much! 👍😊

      what to look for in a lady;
      1 A lady with faith
      2 she is more like a ladylike then just a women
      3 she speaks with respectfully, soft and calm in her speech
      4 She dresses for you and not for attention...
      5. She would be a mother and not name mother
      6 she will be your right hand and support through good and hard times
      7 She expresses love on a daily basis
      8 she is prepared to hang out with everyday and doing things together
      9. She will not get bored of you
      10 she takes care of your finances and lives in a healthy balance lifestyle
      10 she puts you first in everything
      11 she happily visits your parents and treats them like their own
      12 she does not talk behind your back instead utters good about
      And the list goes on.......... having faith and practicing faith is key to true happiness and success, as God is the one who can guarantee and you and your lady must strive and never give up hope in God..... think and live positive
      the above also applies to you.....

    When is the best time to plant a tree? Twenty years ago. When is the second best time to plant one? Now. If you want an avocado tree, it only takes about a day to go to the plant nursery, buy the tree, and plant it. If you wait a year or two till the interior renovations are done, you will delay the maturity of the tree and fruit harvest from it by that amount.

      Andrew it would be great, yes. Renovation here in USA is very risky with un regulated chemical materials. I was chemically injured just from moving into our new home breathing in all the chemicals. Left me chronically ill. We did move and gut an old home using all non toxic materials from green building supply.com. Check them out. Great family owned business and a life saver for us. Everything is non toxic.

      I think they just want to make changes that meet their own aesthetic. Renovations don’t just take place when something is broken or needs repairs. This may be just an American perspective, but they’ve been very successful in making their renovated homes worth much more, I don’t blame them.
