Smart home tech is everywhere these days, but not every gadget is worth the investment. 💸 So, which upgrades actually add value and make life easier? Here’s a quick breakdown. Top Smart Home Investments: 1. Smart Thermostats – They adapt to your schedule and help reduce energy costs. 2. Smart Lighting – Control your lights remotely, save on energy, and create the perfect mood. 3. Smart Security – Doorbell cameras and smart locks give peace of mind and are appealing to future buyers. Affordable & Practical Options: 1. Smart Plugs & Switches – Easily control electronics from your phone. 2. Voice Assistants – Devices like Alexa or Google Home help manage daily tasks. Upgrades to Think Twice About: 1. Specialized Devices – Items like smart wine coolers are fun but may not add resale value. 2. Full-Home Automation – Impressive but not always practical or necessary. Smart upgrades bring convenience, savings, and can even help when it’s time to sell your home. What smart home features can you not live without? 📱

I was listing to a podcast epsiode by @edmylett where he discusses the idea of not living life looking in the rearview mirror. In the episode, Mylett explains that the past is in the past, and that most of the time there’s nothing to be done to change it. He says that looking back and replaying the past can prevent people from focusing on the opportunities in front of them. Mylett suggests that people should use their past experiences to motivate them and keep moving forward. Such great words of advice, I just had to share! I’m sending good vibes of abundance and goodness and hoping your future decisions will bring you happiness. 💚
