The price for most basic needs inevitably goes up over time. For instance, a loaf of bread cost a mere nickel decades ago, but now it’s usually going to cost you a few bucks, but could easily be $5 or more for some brands. That’s not even due to inflation!On the other hand, some companies will use a sneakier approach and maintain the price of their product in the midst of inflation, but reduce how much you get for the same price. So maybe the price of your favorite loaf of bread doesn’t go up, but it’s a few slices shorter, or a box of your cereal is missing an ounce of oats.With that in mind, if you’ve been feeling like the cost of renting a place to live has been going up, you may not even be aware of quite how much! Apparently, not only are rents rising, the amount of space renters a...

It is remarkable the trajectory that pickleball has been on the last few years.  I think we are still just at the beginning of its growth.  Of course, when one of my colleagues write about the sport, I feel compelled to share it, especially when it conveys the fun loving and social aspects of the game.  If you seek out the pickleball groups in your area, you will find friendly people ready to invite you on the courts and teach you the game. As Lorrie Semler, REALTOR® in the Dallas area. Call/text 972-416-3417 says in her post, "Pickleball is fun and great exercise.  Give it a try!" The Town of Addison's Parks & Recreation Department now has a pickleball coach - Ray Love! It also has both indoor and outdoor pickleball courts, not to mention plenty of avid players. If you're new to the sp...
