Gray is a popular color because it’s versatile. A dark gray with white trim is a neutral, attractive combination that emphasizes your home’s exterior features such as unique trims.

FINANCE: Put More Money In Your Pocket Each Month

Reviewing your monthly expenses once a year is a great practice to get into. As you look at your monthly budget, you will find some expenses that are fixed, like your rent or mortgage, car payments, and child care expenses. But there are several other common monthly expenses that should be reviewed and re-negotiated annually.

• Call your auto insurance provider and shop other providers to make sure you have the lowest possible premium.
  
  
• Contact your cell phone carrier to make sure you have the best and lowest cost package currently available.
  
  
• Shop health insurance each year to make sure you are covered at the best possible price.
  
  
• Contact your gym to make sure you are paying the best current pricing for your membership.
  
  
• Research your cable and internet provider’s offers online then give them a call to make sure you have the best pricing for your services. Cable and internet companies often have promotions or package pricing that could be lower than your current bill.
  
  
• Do an audit of all online and app subscriptions you have to make sure you are not paying monthly fees for apps you signed up for in the past that you are no longer using. You will be surprised at how all the small fees can add up!

Don't stop here! Analyze your monthly recurring payments and see how many of them you can bring down. The compound effect can give you a nice monthly raise.
