4. TIME:
Should
you do it?
Can you do it?
When will you do it?
The
Cost of Living
The
cost of living varies dramatically depending on
where you choose to work or do business in the
USA.
EasyWayUSA
deals with different techniques to reduce
your expenses (e.g.,
many people avoid buying a used car from a private
party because they are unfamiliar with the process
and prefer to do so through a dealer. While there
is additional peace of mind in working with a
dealer, the cost will obviously be higher. Under
“Smart Buying” we refer you to websites like Kelly
Blue Book, www.kbb.com,
which gives you the market value for used cars
both from dealers and private parties depending
on the condition of the car. You can also check
out the validity of the ownership and title in
a vehicle through www.carfax.com
(there is a small charge for a two or three month
period but it allows you to check as many vehicle
titles as you please).
Under “Housing”,
we recommend that you do not buy a home immediately
even if you can afford it. Many people think
that the city that they have selected will be
their “permanent home” only to find a better opportunity
in a new city within a couple of months.
You can get free business
advice from “The Service Corps of Retired Executives”
(SCORE). Experts in American business will help
you for free.
The best way for you
to make money and save money is to use your talents
to your best advantage. Tune your skills to the
American way of life and discover your possibilities.
