If you are looking for a new car you may be wondering whether it is better to lease or finance a vehicle. The truth is, there is no hard and fast rule to help you make the right choice. Instead, you must look at your specific situation and choose the option that best suits your circumstances. To help you make that decision, let’s look at some of the main differences between leasing and car financing:
When you choose to buy a new vehicle, you own it and can keep it for as long as you like. Even if you need to finance the vehicle, once you have settled your loan, you will have complete ownership. When you lease a vehicle, you must return it at the end of your lease which normally lasts for 2 or 3 years. However, you may make arrangements to purchase the vehicle after your lease has ended.
When you finance a vehicle, your monthly payments are almost always higher than the monthly payments for a lease. This is because you are paying off the entire purchase price of the vehicle, plus taxes, interest, other charges and fees. On the other hand, in a lease agreement, you are paying for the depreciation of the vehicle during the lease term, in addition to interest charges, taxes and other fees.
If at any time you decide you no longer want the vehicle you have purchased, you may sell it and use the money from the sale to pay off your loan balance. If you want to terminate your lease early, it could end up costing you as much as it would have had you stuck to it. This is due to the penalty fees you may be charged for ending your lease before its full term.
Although your vehicle’s mileage can affect its value if you choose to sell it or trade it in, you are free to drive your vehicle as much you want, once you have purchased it. With a lease, there are restrictions on the mileage you can put on the vehicle each year. If you surpass that limit, you will be charged a fee.
You will face penalties if a vehicle has excessive wear and tear at the end of your lease. When you buy a vehicle, you will not have that concern. Wear and tear will, however, affect the value of your vehicle should you decide to sell it.
Once your car financing term has ended, you will no longer have any financial obligations to the car finance company. You’ll have equity in the vehicle which you can put towards the purchase of your next car. In a lease agreement, no matter how much you pay, you will not have any equity in the vehicle.
If you want your vehicle to stand out, you can go ahead and do whatever customization you choose when you have purchased the car. At the end of a lease term, you must return the car the way you received it. That means you will not be able to customize it the way you want unless the customizations can be removed without causing damage to the vehicle.
If you decide that car financing is the right option for you, Credit Now can help. Regardless of your credit score or financial situation, we can work with you to get the vehicle you want. So, contact us today.

The bathroom of your dream house should be a relaxing haven. So much so that you won’t have to go to a spa for an escape. As you list the things you need to do as you design your bathroom, don’t forget to include the following:

Consider putting in a sauna
Live somewhere cold or just love a good sweat? Embrace the wintertime traditions of Nordic countries with your very own sauna at home. Saunas don’t need to eat up too much space, and having one installed may cost less than you think. Source: Forbes
Have adequate ventilation
Of course, if your clothes and shoes are shower-adjacent, you’re going to need a good bathroom exhaust system to pull the moisture out of the air quickly. Don’t skimp on your bathroom ventilation. Preventing mold growth and peeling paint is worth spending the extra few dollars on a good vent. Source: Houzz
Look at a relaxing whirlpool bath
If you like both long soaks and water massages, then a whirlpool is a must for your master bathroom. Most tubs are water-jetted, pulsing water through the openings, but air-jetted units are becoming more popular because the pipes behind the jets don’t collect water residue, which can promote mold growth.
Test the tub for comfort before buying — take off your shoes and climb in to see if you can stretch out. Look for a tub with at least six jets. An acrylic finish is more durable than fiberglass. Source: BHG
Add impressive fixtures
Plumbing fixtures are the jewels of the bathroom because they’re metallic and can add a dramatic effect to any space, just as jewelry can to an outfit. There are a plethora of finishes and styles offered by today’s manufacturers, from brass to bronze and all metals in between. Keep in mind your motif and maintenance as you choose your bathroom fixtures. Elaborate gold fixtures probably won’t jive with a beach-inspired bathroom and may also require more cleaning than you’re up for. Source: HGTV

Your bathroom is a workhorse in the house and it’s also a space where we can retreat for a relaxing spa-like session in the evening. It can be one of the only quiet spaces in a household with few people! It’s also a place where, for a variety of reasons, safety might be an issue. It pays to be aware of hazards in your bathroom and how to prevent injuries.
The inevitable, of course, happens no matter how safety conscious we are. However, with a little foresight and a keen eye for potential hazards, your bathroom can be made a lot safer.

Elderly people are prone to falls, especially in the bathroom where the floor can get slippery. It’s important to keep the following tips in mind to ensure the safety of the senior citizens at home.
Photo by Annie Spratt on Unsplash
Install grab bars
Many elders use towel bars or shower/tub features to hold onto while climbing in and out of the shower/tub. Towel bars are good for holding towels but aren’t built to support weight. Instead, install grab bars in easy-to-reach places to help support balance when entering and exiting the shower or tub.
Grab bars are best suited for elders with good upper-body strength who are able to hold onto grab bars while moving or standing. All grab bars should be slip-resistant (‘grip’ surface bars are better than those bars with high gloss finish), color contrasted from the wall for visibility, and securely fixed to the studs of the wall for adequate support (“bolted on” bars are preferable to suction cup bars, which could easily slip away when body weight is applied).
Where’s the best place to install grab bars? Look where the elder normally holds onto when entering or exiting the shower and place the grab bars there. The trick is not to change one’s behavior (which is difficult to do) but to make behavior safer. Source: ConsumerAffairs
Set a comfortable water temperature
This reduces the potential for scalding. A comfortable temperature is around 90-to-100 degrees Farenheit. Obviously, the right water temperature depends on the individual, (48.88 Celsius). Water that is hotter increase the potential for burns. Source: Seniors.LoveToKnow
Use appropriate lights
Lighting throughout the room should be bright with a minimal amount of glare. Plan on a ceiling fixture or fixtures to provide general room lighting, but you should also add task lighting around sinks, tubs and showers. Source: SeniorHomes

How to Change Ford Remote Battery | Mr. Locksmith Video

Changing Ford Remote Battery
This is a very popular Ford key and we call it the “eight cut“. It’s a four button, remote head key. If it’s tons of the Mustangs, or if it’s the whole Ford line, it is all over the place. It’s very popular. There is no screws on this one. If there is a ring, just get the ring out of the way. To remove the battery, put the quarter, or a flathead in and then just give it a little twist. It will come apart very easily. It’s got weather stripped. And then just flip out the battery. So this one is the CR2032, which is an extremely popular battery.
To put the battery in, you just gotta slide it in and that’s perfect. So we’ve done a very good weather stripping on this. So there we go. There is our Toyota remote.
Mr. Locksmith CR2032
Steps on how to change a Toyota remote battery:
I like the Energizers and the Duracells for Ford remote battery. I don’t like the dollar store ones, that always seems to be giving people problems. And I don’t like the inexpensive ones. Fits in quite nicely. Nothing else comes apart here. Just slip it in there. Now we gotta get this weather stripping on. Just clip it in there nicely. We can put the ring back on. It goes on pretty quick and easy. Again, it’s an extremely popular remote. A four button, Ford remote head key which we call the “eight cut“. Again. very easy to do.
