One of the things that separate a good date from a great one, is the location where it takes place. Many of the traditional date spots have been done so often they become boring. This the reason you need to consider some ideas that would bring the romance back to life. 

To begin with, you could decide to go sailing. Remember the great romance titanic brought to the lives of many. You will enjoy the great sunsets at sea. As well, you could take a paddleboat on a lake for the weekend. You could organize for lunch at sea. 

The classic beach is one forgotten dating spot. Many people have moved into restaurants forgetting the power of the beach. You need to prepare to spend the day sand basking and swimming. If you can find a good spot for your date, then you could be able to spend the day by yourselves. With this, it is a good idea to ensure that you get the best sunscreen. 

The third non-traditional dating spot is the museum. Remember you used to visit them only when you were at high school. Imagine taking the trip to the tunnels and caverns. You will also end up knowing a lot that you did not know before in terms of history. 

If both of you love a bit of dancing, forget the club. You could decide to take some dating session while learning how to tango or salsa. You will notice that in particular the salsa is a very romantic dance. You could take many dance sessions from many locations in the city you live in. This is a good way to have a reality date and enjoy to the fullest.

The last thing you could consider doing is bungee diving. This could be a scary thing for both of you especially if you have the fear of heights. In addition, it is a good chance for you to overcome this fear. There are many locations where you could go for bungee jumping. Some are so high that they will take the jitters away from you as fast. The best thing, it is a good way to reinforce your relationship. A good place to go for bungee jumping is the Victoria Falls on the Zambezi in Zambia. You will also have a good

After doing any of these activities, you could try something a bit more traditional like meeting up for conversation and great Tassimo coffee at your local coffee shop so you can discuss the day’s adventure together.

Subtitled: Mission Impossible. While not all together impossible, without hiring someone to scope out apartments for you, or hearing about it through word of mouth, apartments for rent in New York City are few and far between. If you do chance upon one, I hope you just inherited the huge family fortune… You’ll need it.

You Want How Much For A Studio Apartment?

If you are single and you’re looking for a small studio apartment, be prepared to drop more money than you ever would’ve thought possible for such a small closet like area. Of course it all does revolve around what part of New York you want to live in and whether or not the apartment needs to be furnished. Apartment hunters make a good living in New York for a reason. They can find the apartments that no one else can.

East Side; West Side; All Around Uptown

Here are just a few examples of apartment prices in the Big Apple: a studio apartment in Brooklyn can run as much as $1600 a month. Once we get into the Upper West Side, Upper East Side, Midtown and Downtown you will need to decide whether or not you want to walk up to your apartment or have a doorman. A studio apartment without a doorman in Midtown for example can run you up to $2200 a month.

Woe be to you should you be a family man in New York. Three bedrooms and more in Midtown (let’s go with a doorman this time) will cost upwards of $12,000 a month. How’s that family fortune looking?

Don’t Forget to Catch a Broadway Show While You’re in Town

Visiting New York City and not catching a Broadway show is like going to Las Vegas and not hitting a casino. It simply isn’t done, not if you know how to be a tourist.

The Hottest Show in Town

Good luck getting Book Of Mormon tickets, but if you can somehow swing it; it is currently the hottest show on Broadway. People are standing in line for 5 hours just to get tickets. Reportedly there isn’t a bad seat in the house. The music and acting provide the avid Broadway play fan a typical visit to a Broadway musical. The humor is anything but typical; and the playgoer must be able to appreciate the type of humor displayed here. It is reminiscent of Comedy Central’s South Park cartoons.

Book Of Mormon Rated Five Out Of Five Stars

After checking reviews on line, I can honestly report that this Broadway musical is receiving five out of stars from most of its reviewers. Those that are giving it any less were obviously not prepared for the humor used in this play; or simply don’t appreciate it in the first place.

This show’s offensive nature is not everyone’s cup of tea; but not ever one drinks tea.

Are You Betting On The Yankees?

Being that the Yankees are a baseball team and not a football team, there are some differences in the way you bet on the game. Because baseball games are frequently decided by one or two runs; ‘spreads’, common in football betting, are not applicable.

It Will Cost you Money to Make Money

Because the spread is not applied to baseball betting, a ‘money line’ is used by sportsbooks. You decide whether you are going to bet on the favorite or the underdog—Yankees are frequently the favorite—then you decide the amount of money you want to bet and that amount determines the amount that you may possibly win. Negative money lines and positive money lines, as they apply to the underdog or the favorite, come into play here and can be extremely confusing when it comes to novice sports betting. After the first or second time it gets easier to understand. An example would be betting the Yankees over the Red Sox when the Yankees are favored. If you are planning on making a $100 bet, the money line could be $140 for the Yankees and $120 for the Red Sox. If you bet on the Yankees and they won, you collect $240 thereby winning $100 on the bet.

No Spread, But a ‘Run Line’

Now baseball does deal with a run line as opposed to football’s spread. Let’s say your Yankees are a huge favorite; 2 points or even 1½ points can be deducted from the favored team’s score. I know this sounds a lot like a spread in football; the run line matters so much that it can actually take the favored team and turn them into the underdog. Bummer for the Yankees.

Ask a lot of questions of someone who has done this before; prior to putting any serious money down on a sports bet. Beginner’s luck may work for some people; but when it comes to sports betting, ignorance is anything but bliss. Check out 5dimes for more information on sports betting.

Six Ways to Make Your Paycheck Stretch Further in 2012

With roughly two-thirds of American’s living paycheck to paycheck, there is much advice available on how to make your paycheck go further. If you are reading this, you probably know most of the advice: cut out your daily latte, use coupons at the supermarket, shop second hand stores and the list goes on. Here are a few ideas that you may not have heard of or tried. 

Change Your Tax Deductions: As nice as it is to get a large refund from Uncle Sam each April, there’s no point in letting him hold onto it while you could be using it to pay bills or save for retirement. Go into your human resources office and change the number of dependents that you claim so that you can get a larger check each pay period. 

Pay Yourself First: Whether you need to be saving more for retirement, college or a new car, the best way to make sure that you put aside money each pay day is to put it aside first. As soon as the money is in your checking account, remove the amount you need to save and put it in another account, preferably at another bank so that you can’t access it easily. 

Actually Make A Budget: You can’t try to stretch your budget without knowing where the money is really going. Try to round up receipts from last month to see where you spent your money. This month, keep track of every penny and then determine where you need to tighten up. 

Go Cash Only: This goes hand in hand with the previous tip. You’ll stick to your budget much better if you hide the plastic and rely on cash only for your purchases. It’s much harder to buy those cute shoes when you only have $50 in an envelope to spend on clothes. And you’ll be encouraged to pack your lunch when you know that the cost of lunches out come from your grocery money. Peanut butter sandwiches for ten days are not appetizing.

Raise Your Deductibles: Raising the deductible on your car insurance from $250 to $1000 can easily cut your premiums by 15% or more. Use the savings to build up an emergency fund to use should you need to make a claim. 

Shop Around: When your blender breaks and you must have it, for your homemade Frappuccino’s made from generic coffee, don’t just go out and buy the cheapest one. Take time to search online for different retailers that offer the product you want and see if there are cheaper options, often there are.

Give a few of these a try and see how they work for you. When you are no longer shelling out large amounts on unnecessary expenses, your paycheck will go much further. If you do find yourself in a pinch between paychecks, there are times when a payday loan makes sense. You’ll be surprised what can happen when you bring home a larger check and make every cent count!
