ROOMMATE REALITIES Having one can save you more money than you might think Most people have a nightmare story or two about a roommate – so why do we share our personal space with someone else?

When asked in a recent survey conducted by The Progressive Group of Insurance Companies, the majority (58 percent) of roommates said their choice was driven by finances and conveniences, noting both have an equal role in the decision.

With nearly half of U.S. millennials in 2015 living with someone else other than a spouse, having a roommate is not out of the ordinary. And while not all roommates are married, that doesn’t mean they don’t merge finances. According to the survey,

the most commonly shared expenses among roommates today include food and beverage (64 percent), rent (60 percent), cleaning supplies (58 percent) and utilities (56 percent).

Despite this significant number of shared expenses, the survey found that car insurance is largely (66 percent) handled independently by roommates. For many, that could be a mistake and result in them leaving big savings on the table.

“When it comes to living with a roommate, we want people to understand they don’t have to share a last name in order to share insurance. This survey showed us people are open to sharing finances, so why not have a conversation

about insurance as they would any other big purchase?

“There is a strong chance they could save some money by taking advantage of discounts or combining their insurance expenses, just as they would with rent or cable,” said Tricia Griffith, personal lines chief operating officer for Progressive Insurance.

Progressive offers a multi-car discount for anyone living together under one roof, regardless of relationship, that is automatically applied to an auto policy that has more than one vehicle listed.

Multiple cars can be added to one policy

for solving common kitchen design dilemmas

Kitchen design is an art form, one where function and beauty harmoniously co-exist.

Achieving that balance, however, isn’t always easy. When renovating a kitchen, homeowners can find themselves facing challenging design dilemmas. And they are not alone.

“When redesigning or refreshing a kitchen, the goal is to create a space that is hardworking, yet beautiful,” Nate Berkus, renowned designer and artistic advisor to LG Studio, said. “Look for items that really represent who you are and your design personality, and you’ll create an area you and your family will love both now and 10 years from now.”

Berkus points to six common kitchen design dilemmas and offers suggestions on how homeowners can create a space that is functional, and also beautiful.

Space challenges When you don’t have enough room for the large table your family needs, get creative.

Consider building an L-shaped bench around a farm table and adding extra chairs. It’s a clever use of space and will create a cozy nook where your family can gather for meals, or kids can do homework. Plus, the bench can double as storage space so it’s extra hardworking.

Outdated cabinets Cabinets are one of the first things you notice in any kitchen, and they’re also one of the most important in terms of functionality.

If your cabinets provide ample space but look dated, Berkus suggests giving them a facelift.

“I always appreciate a simple, clean style, but with cabinets I tell my clients they shouldn’t be afraid to mix it up,” he said.

Use varying materials and finishes, like a wood or paint color that’s different from the rest of the kitchen. “I recommend sticking with a neutral palette for cabinets, whether you’re installing brand new ones or painting your existing cabinets,” Berkus says. “White, charcoal and gray will always be elegant, and you can’t go wrong with black - it’s absolutely one of my favorites. It makes a dramatic statement and looks fantastic paired with stainless steel appliances.”

Designer and LG Studio artistic advisor Nate Berkus says fit the design to your personality to ensure a functional and appealing space.

Small budgets, big taste When you long for that sleek, built-in look but don’t want to break the bank, counter-depth appliances are a great design choice. They seamlessly integrate with cabinetry no matter what the material, supporting that clean look you ultimately want your kitchen to reflect.

“I’m obsessed with LG Studio’s threedoor counter-depth refrigerator,” Berkus said. “The door-in-door feature is one of my favorites.”

The refrigerator also features a sophisticated, pro-style, flat-door design inspired by Berkus that gives it a premium look. LG Studio’s slide-in ranges, with designs also inspired by Berkus, are another great option to help homeowners achieve a custom, built-in aesthetic.

Unattractive lighting Lighting is one of the most important design elements in any room, and it’s the one thing people often overlook when redesigning their kitchens.

“Lighting can instantly change the whole feel of a space,” Berkus said. “I believe it is one of the most important decisions you can make in any room, especially the kitchen, which, let’s be honest, is usually the hardest working room in your home.”

To create lighting that is both useful and beautiful, remember to light the room in layers – from above, under cabinets to illuminate work areas and all-around accent lighting to create ambiance.

It’s also such an easy way to add a whole lot of personality to your kitchen. Opt for vintage sconces and brass or metallic

lighting fixtures. They will instantly up the design ante and make the space feel decidedly layered and interesting.

Counter space confusion Figuring out how much counter space you’ll need is always tricky. Start by considering all the ways you’ll be using your counters. You’ll need food prep areas, of course, but will you also want a breakfast bar where your family can sit for meals and snacks? Will you need extra room for countertop appliances?

“My rule of thumb is, to always double the amount of counter space you think you’ll need,” Berkus said. “You can never have too much, especially if you like to cook and entertain.”

The slate is simply too clean A large, open-concept kitchen can seem appealing, but it can also be daunting to design and decorate.

“Don’t be afraid to do something unexpected in the kitchen to break up the space,” Berkus said. “I love the idea of creating an unexpected seating area in your kitchen. Shop your weekend flea markets or online stores for a vintage sofa, coffee table and rug to set up an area for your family to relax in.”

Ultimately, Berkus says, keep in mind that the kitchen truly is the heart of the home.

“Kitchen design is about creating a space in your home that brings the whole family together, and is the best place to reflect your sense of personal style.”

Before taking any major plunge, get informed. An honest appraisal of the facts and figures can ensure a sounder financial future when considering the purchase of a new home.

FILE PHOTO Home Buyer

Thinking of buying a home?

What perspective homeowners need to know

Better employment prospects, rising home values and historically low mortgage rates are driving improvements in housing markets across the country. If these facts are tempting you to take the plunge, you’re not alone.

Keep in mind, buying a home is a major commitment and shouldn’t be undertaken without careful consideration, say experts.

“While homeownership is often referred to as the ‘American Dream’ for good reason, it isn’t necessarily everyone’s right move,” says Freddie Mac Senior Vice President and Head of Single-Family Sales and Relationship Management, Christina Boyle.

Understanding the pros and cons of homeownership can help you make a wise decision. For potential home buyers, Boyle offers the following insights: Ownership pros From paint colors to major remodeling projects, one of the best parts of ownership is having a place that is uniquely yours to customize.

Consider the financial benefits, as well.

At tax time, you may be able to deduct the interest on your mortgage and property taxes,

offsetting a portion of the cost of ownership.

Stability is another major draw. With fixed-rate mortgages, your monthly principal and interest payments will stay the same for the entire period of the loan. This will make it easier to plan and budget over time, as opposed to renting, where rates are largely beyond your control. Furthermore, creating equity for the future will help provide stability and security for your family.

Ownership cons Being your own landlord makes you responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of your property. Budget for maintenance costs – from little fixes to such major, costly issues as roof replacement and water pipe repair.

Other home-related costs to keep in mind include utilities, homeowner association dues, homeowner insurance premiums and property taxes. Just like with your rent, your mortgage and utilities should be paid on time. This will help you maintain good credit and is essential if you want to borrow again in the future for home renovations, new cars or student loans.

Self-assessment An honest self-assessment can help you determine if buying a home is right for you.

Do you have a reliable income, good credit and documentation to verify your savings?

Do you have the money required for home maintenance and a cash reserve that can withstand a loss of job, illness or other financial setback?

Freddie Mac recommends that potential buyers be able to afford at least threepercent of the down payment and related closing costs. Also, evaluate your life plans.

Are you planning on staying in your home for at least five years?

Crunch the numbers Free online tools can help you get down to brass tacks.

and, on average, results in a ten percent discount.

“Progressive has the unique opportunity to play a role in some of the most important moments in our customers’ lives, whether it’s buying their first car, moving into a new home or getting married,” Griffith said. “As we work to help them gain a better understanding of their insurance needs throughout these milestones, we have created resources, like the Live It Up guide, which provide tips and advice for people currently living with a roommate.”

He said, she said While the survey found honesty rules in a number of roommate relationships (47 percent say they would never lie to their roommate), there’s still a little devil in all of us and each sex has their fair share of guilty habits. Of note: Males are more likely (35 percent) than females (25 percent) to have lied to their current roommate Females (28 percent) are more likely than males (21 percent) to have snooped on their roommate

Roommate arrogance Regardless of relationship status, the survey also found roommates today tend to think they are the better roommate when it comes to several qualities: • 70 percent think they are a better driver; • 78 percent feel they are more trustworthy; and • 73 percent believe they are more financially responsible.

There are advantages to having a roommate, financial and otherwise. While sharing expenses like food, rent and utilities is common, many people don’t know that things like car insurance can be shared as well.
