A bed comforter is an item of bedding that comforts you when tucked up in bed. It could perhaps be best described as a soft, thick blanket that is placed on a bed to make it more snug and cozy. Comforters are a great way to turn any bed into a more luxurious and restful place to sleep, and that can only help us to feel and function better the following day.
But apart from achieving a much higher level of comfort, a bed comforter is great for keeping you warm during those cold winter nights and cool through those hot summer months. Down, feather, or a mixture of feather and down are the best options around and although a little on the pricy side, they will last you for years to come with the proper care and cleaning.
There is a down-side to these bedding items though in as much as they make the sleeping experience so wonderful that you won't want to get up in the morning. In fact you may just want to stay in bed all day long! Snug as a bug in a rug, as my wife describes it!
Although a comforter is considered a luxury bedding item, most are sold at the onset of winter when the chilly nights set in and the frigid winds arrive. This is when many folks turn to lavish bed comforters in order to stay as warm as toast, but it's important to note that these are not redundant during summer as they have the ability to keep the sleeper cool too.
Many experts now recognize the benefits of quality sleep and as a result many folks are taking their bed linen more seriously. Many stores carry a vast array of bed spreads and bed comforters that are certain to turn your next nights sleep into a marvelous one. But changing your bed linens and covers can change more than just the decor of your room, they can contribute to sound sleeping, and, as mentioned above, a good night's slumber can aid good health and general wellbeing.
For problem sleepers, it's often the little things that can make a big difference and quite often a change of pillow, bed spread, a comforter, or a feather mattress, can all assist in helping you drift off into a blissful night's sleep. If your problem is more related to aches and pains than actual sleeping, then a memory foam pillow may be well worth looking into.
Remember this spring when the stock market tanked. In just 24 hours...
The "R" word - "Recession" came out of Alan Greenspan's mouth
* Asian markets held an overnight meltdown
* 416 points fell right off the Dow Jones
* AND every other index around the world followed over the edge like so many lemmings
At the end of the next day $583 Billion had gone up in smoke from Greenspan's mutterings. "R" word indeed....
The same pundits who wring their hands at such market swings tell their investors that direct Commercial Real Estate Investing is "High Risk". That's another "R" word getting plenty of play lately - Risk. Tell that to people who rode Enron and so many other stocks down to zero.
I just smile and remember the benefits of being a "Greenspan-Proof" Real Estate Investor ...
*You Can Calculate Profits Before You Buy*
When you buy at the right price and execute on your business plan, you know what profit you will make when you buy.
You can research property values, expected rents and all the other variables involved and get a very good idea of the price you can sell at given the increase in cash flow you can force.
*Monthly Cash Flow helps You Sleep Like a Baby*
When you hold cash flowing commercial real estate you can sleep like a baby - no matter what anyone (including Mr. Greenspan) says.
The cash flow depends on things you can know about and are pretty darn fixed - rent, mortgage and fixed expenses. And many of them you can improve to drive appreciation of the underlying property IN ADDITION TO your income.
*Leverage Baby Leverage*
You can buy $100 in property for $20 down and it doesn't even have to be your money.
Imagine telling your broker you would like to purchase $10,000 in stocks using $2000 in money you raised from your lawyer friend next door. They simply would not know how to respond.
Yet with $200K of your investor's money, you can buy a $1M apartment complex in any State in the Country - any day of the year.
*Save On Your Taxes*
There is no other investment where you can get a deduction on your taxes - for year upon year - while your property continues to go up in value. Depreciation is the Real Estate Investor's secret weapon.
Look at Mutual Funds for a contrast. There you can owe taxes even though the fund lost money in that year. Now that's safety for you.
So just remember all the benefits of Commercial Real Estate Investing as you take on the tasks of looking for the right property for your portfolio. Your patient due diligence will be well worth it.
Forget about Greenspan and how much the Dow Jones fell that day.
Remember you depreciation, your leverage and your cash flow and put on a grin like the Cheshire Cat.
Then lay yourself down to sleep at night, safe in the knowledge that your properties are protected from the overnight ravages of the brokers and pundits that roil the world's stock markets.
