Chill Out!
As the scorching summer sun beats down, it’s hard to remember that just six months ago you were shivering through the winter, whether that meant a chilly 50 F or bitter subzero temperatures.
But if cooler temps sound like paradise, and a dip in the pool is no longer keeping you cool, it might be time to take a vacation somewhere chilly. Check out these three destinations to avoid the
summer heat.
4 Traits Scammers Target
Some people are more susceptible to financial scams than others. According to the AARP Fraud Watch Network, there are several personality traits that can contribute to a person being more apt to fall for a scam, whether it’s a phone scam, an online scam, or even in-person.

Insomniacs Unite
Everyone with a smartphone has heard time and time again that looking at your phone before bed is a bad idea. According to the National Sleep Foundation, “The use of electronic devices in the bedroom further disrupts the natural pattern of the sleep-wake cycle” primarily because of the blue light emitted from the screen.

Here are three FREE sleep apps
that might help you get to dreamland faster.

only partially finished. The idea was that I would finish it later. I wanted it to be a certain way — to be my “man cave” with a great entertainment center, maybe a bar, and a place to store wine.
Tax Reform Cheat Sheet
What does tax reform mean for me? A simple cheat sheet: If you’ve been following the tax reform debate, odds are you’re confused. At this point both the House and the Senate have passed their own version of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The dreamy vision of a “postcard”-style tax return is long gone.
