If and when congress starts to cut back on spending, then I believe we will really see the true impacts of this whole situation we are currently in.For now I will eat the taxes on my 1031 (identification ends in about 3 hours), wait on the elections / see what the political agenda has in store for us, and then consider investment strategies.Here is another question, where would you seek to learn about other types of investments outside of your comfort zone?

The test consists of 4 elements:It is an investment of moneyThere is an expectation of profits from the investmentThe investment of money is in a common enterpriseAny profit comes from the efforts of a promoter or third partyIf you are borrowing money from someone it generally fails the third element above because there is no common enterprise for those contributing the labor and the capital.

Have the store tailor the pants and coat to fit you.If you want to be more formal get a burgundy colored tie.In the summertime, swap the light grey pants for tan pants. 

Paint helps protect both the interior and exterior walls, chipped or flaking paint can allow elements into the wall to cause damage. 

Apparently the debt is with the Treasury department now not the VA.Comenity/Boscovs (department store) - amount owed $0 - 4 late payment remarks. 3 of them are 5/2016, 8/2016, and 5/2017 30-59 days late and 1 of them 9/2016 is for 60-89 days late.
