South Mountain Freeway--Adot update

The proposed Loop 202 freeway, also known as the South Mountain Freeway, would run east and west along Pecos Road and then turn north between 55th and 63rd avenues, connecting with Interstate 10 on each end. A video simulation of the proposed freeway is provided below. The South Mountain Freeway is the last piece to complete the Loop 202 and Loop 101 freeway system necessary for high-quality regional mobility.

 This is the needed last connection for the loop 202.  Folks form Laveen and Buckeye have been long waiting this.  But there are many folks  in Ahwatukee that this will impact poorly.

Living a Life of Gratitude

What are you grateful for?  How do we live life and be grateful every day? I am always trying to live my life with Gratitude but always need a reminder. Well, I am sure you have heard a few really good tips to living a grateful life like;  Keep a journal near your bed and either before you go to bed or right as you wake- write 4 to 5 things that you are grateful for.   Keep an empty jar nearby your work area and write down something you’re grateful for every time you feel stressed out (or perhaps when you say a certain phrase). Vow to not complain, criticize, or gossip for 30 days at a time-- If you slip, rally your willpower and keep going. Notice the amount of energy and TIME you were spending on negative thoughts and actions. We all have said it; “time is precious”, “time is money”, “time goes so fast when you are having fun” And many wise people have tried to warn us; Time is what we want most, but... what we use worst. ~William Penn  ...

Things you can write off on your taxes when buying a home

Image
  Buying a home can be very expensive. First there's the down payment. Then there are closing costs, including fees for an appraisal, inspection, and title search. And once you own it, the expenses continue to add up, with everything from maintenance to taxes and insurance. There are some tax benefits to owning a home, though. Tax-deductible homeowner costs can reduce the amount of income tax you have to pay. What is a tax-deductible expense? A tax-deductible expense is one that you can deduct from your adjustable gross income (AGI) when you file your taxes for the year. Deducting these costs reduces your taxable income, and the lower your taxable income, the less you'll pay in taxes.
