Insurance

Seeing those free life insurance quotes online made me think of our current life insurance policy. We pay 85Euros a month (started out as 45 in 2003) ...I remember having to change the method of payment 3 years ago because they would get the whole annual amount every January. Well, it's the same value yes, but monthy payment is a lot lighter than 540! I think we've been paying 7 years now of the binding 20 years contract...

Knack

Where to buy the best daily deals for computers, laptops and HDTVs?  There surely are many great deals out there and I believe hubby has the knack for finding one. He wanted an LCD TV in our kitchen but finds the new ones so pricey. I don't know the details but I came home one day and saw him installing the unit in our kitchen. When our plasma TV started showing signs of age, he looked for a replacement and found one which was cheaper than the one we had. There are still a handful of stuff that he got for a lower price in the market and each of them I believe were from different websites offering better deals!

Online degree

I finally finished school, and it's finally time to work but if I do it would actually  be in our firm, hubby's a self-employed Graphic Artist and I would be the assistant...doing paperwork and accounting stuff.


Then during our deliberation, I said that I want to pursue my real love, photography or be an English-language trainer. I've seen how the interest for English learning boosted  among students and adults as well.  That or I would register myself as a professional photographer, for which I would need to do the Meisterprüfung. An exam to determine one's knowledge of photography. Since it has been a long time that I took photography classes, I might not remember the basics of film developing and printing as well. This is why I need to take another course, either  teacher training or photography... I however, do not want the hassle of everyday going to class, I just did that for 6 months and most of the classes are in the evening! I was advised to take a course at an accredited online university, either in teaching or photography.


With such universities offering masters and bachelors degree online, there’s no need to leave home tofurther one's knowledge. The flexibility of studying online is for me, with three kids in tow, I can only study on certain hours and do a little homework as well. Tuition considered, there's relatively a big difference.
