Broke is the New Rich
Written by Penny Hoff - Fitness/Lifestyle Coach, March 11, 2011 This is a reality for so many families. Day-after day I talk with people who are joining the ranks of the “The New Rich.” Thanks to Penny for writing this wonderful blog post!-Dave Roe
This week I was the recipient of a Barn Raising but instead of a barn it was my house and instead of a raising it was more of a razing and instead of building a place in which to put my cows, it was more along the lines of trying to sell it to avoid The New F Word- Foreclosure.

While growing up in Roseville, we had many options for biking and exploring (walking). Fortunately, one of the best areas for playing was preserved and can still be enjoyed today. Check out Miner’s & False Ravine Trails.-Dave Roe
MINER'S and FALSE RAVINE TRAILS
How to find it?
Catch the trail at Sculpture Park (behind The Home Depot on N. Sunrise Ave.)
Go through some of Roseville’s most beautiful open space and wetland areas. Follow the Miner’s Ravine Trail all the way to Sierra College Boulevard or take the False Ravine Trail. Both trips are nearly three miles one-way.

It’s Good to Be King… and a First-Time Homebuyer!
First-time homebuyers NO LONGER need settle for “fixers” or “crackerboxes” when they shop for there first castle!
Last year, first-time buyers took advantage of state and federal programs that entitled them to GENEROUS REBATES when they bought a home. They also benefitted from ROCK-BOTTOM INTEREST RATES.

Buyers are finding that they can move to better neighborhoods. “Buyers care about location and quality when buying real estate, no matter how many homes they’ve purchased in the past,” says Todd Slack, real estate specialist and broker ...
