Unfortunately for me I think the closest Whole Foods Market to me is about a 2 hour drive. But for those that have a Whole Foods Market or Amazon physical location near you, I’m a little jelly.

FREE Doormat After Cash Back!

I don’t usually put to much thought into a doormat. I mean, I want it to look nice but it serves a functional purpose too. I end up replacing doormats every couple years. The wear and tear on them make them look kinda funky after a while.

I feel like I should put a little more thought into it than I do. I mean, it’s one of the first things people see when they approach your door (other than the door itself). A doormat can be simple or it can show your personality. It can be plain, simply say “welcome” or maybe show a little bit of your attitude.

Whatever doormat you choose you can choose it FREE after cash back with this deal from TopCashBack. Get your free doormat by following the directions below.

The Value Of Timber On Your Land: FREE Resource

It’s not something I’ve put a lot of thought into. In hindsight, maybe I should have. We hired some arborists to cut down a few dead trees for us a couple years ago. We did keep the fallen timber to use in our fire pit and wood burning furnace. So, I guess we didn’t waste it. But we only live on about an acre. I know a number of people around us have acres of land with lots of trees or fallen timber.

Have you ever wondered about the value of the timber on your land? Penn State Extension has released the “Value of Standing Timber” publication. It helps land owners and loggers learn the economic value of standing timber and how it’s determined.

This 24-page publication describes methods for estimating timber volumes and values in a simple, easy to understand, manner. It will also help landowners and loggers understand how the value of timber is determined and, in turn, provide them with increased opportunities for obtaining a fair market price when selling timber, said Dave Jackson, extension forester and publication co-author.

The publication is available as a free downloadable PDF; printed copies are available for purchase. To learn more, visit https://extension.psu.edu/valuing-standing-timber or call 877-345-0691

I looked over this myself. It’s highly informative with helpful illustrations and tables. It covers a number of steps to take to prepare you for getting a good value for your standing timber. As well as information about how it’s valued at more. Education is the best way to make sure you’re not taken advantage of!

This is a great time to start preparing wood for the winter too. It needs to dry out for several weeks to a couple months to make good firewood. I know in my area, there are always people looking for firewood for small things like fire pits to necessities like heating their homes.

If you own wooded acreage in my area another way to make money off your land is to let hunters pay to hunt on your land. Hunter find it appealing as there is exclusivity to it. The land isn’t over-hunted.

What Is A Gold IRA?

One of the most important steps that people need to take to protect their financial health is to save for retirement. While there are lots of options that people can use to save for retirement, one example is called an Individual Retirement Account, also known as an IRA. Some of the most common IRA examples that people know include Roth IRAs and regular IRAs. One commonly overlooked option is a gold IRA. This is an important retirement savings vehicle that people should know.

What Is this IRA?

Also called a precious metals IRA, this is an Individual Retirement Account that uses gold and other approved precious metals as a way to benefit the retirement savings of the account holder. Like other IRA options, there are rules regarding how and when someone can withdraw assets from the IRA. In contrast to a regular IRA, which holds papers and other virtual assets, a precious metal IRA holds bars and bullion coins. This is a self-directed IRA, meaning that it is run by the account holder instead of a third-party. Furthermore, this type of IRA also allows the account holder to have access to more diverse investments.

What Can Be Held in this IRA?

If someone has a precious metals IRA, there are four separate items that can be held in this account. They include gold, platinum, palladium, and silver. These items must be held in an IRS-approved bar or coin form. Without a doubt gold is the most common item purchased, leading to the name of this account.

Why Does Someone Have a Precious Metals IRA?

The main reason why someone might want to have a precious metals IRA is that this can be used as a hedge against inflation, helping people manage their risk. Over time, the value of paper money is going to drop due to inflation. For example, the price of a gallon of milk today is far greater than it was fifty years ago. This is largely due to inflation. While paper money loses value over time, precious metals do not. For this reason, this type of IRA can be a valuable asset for those looking to save for retirement.

Use an IRA to Save for Retirement

A precious metals IRA can be a key retirement vehicle. It is critical for everyone to plan for the future. This means taking care of their financial health using an IRA.
