Advantages of eBook Format


Text can be searched automatically and cross-referenced using hyperlinks, making the e-book format ideal  for works that benefit from such functions. 

Less physical space is required to store e-books, and hundreds to thousands of books may be stored on the same device. 

Because they require little space, eBooks can be offered indefinitely, with no going out of print date.

Readers who have difficulty reading printed books can benefit from the adjustment of text size and font face. 

Text-to-speech software can be used to convert eBooks to audio books automatically. 

eBook devices allow reading in low light or even total darkness by means of a back light. 

An eBook may be more comfortable for some to hold because it need not be held open like a physical book and can also be set down and read without needing to be held.

What Is Your Debt To Income Ratio?
By RS Garcia

Have you ever wondered how much you can spend per month before your debt is considered unhealthy?

Your not alone, I am sure there are many people that just don’t know the point at which there monthly debt is too high and has them on the verge of serious financial problems.

Debt to income ratio or (DTI) is the percentage of your gross income that is spent on fixed monthly debts. I healthy DTI is considered to be when the percentage of your gross income spent on fixed monthly debts is less than 36%.

The FHA maximum debt to income ratio for approving a mortgage loan is 29%. This includes all costs associated with your monthly mortgage. Principal and interest, escrow deposits for taxes, hazard insurance, and mortgage insurance premium, So this only allows 7% of debt to be on other fixed monthly expenses. Car loans, personal loans, boat loans, credit cards, and other loans.

Problem is, all of this is calculated on your gross income and to me doesn’t accurately reflect the real situation. What I personally do is calculate my debt to income ratio on my net income to get a realistic look of what is going on.

A good rule of thumb is to keep your debt to income ratio for non mortgage related expenses to less than 8% with a long term goal of 0% or no debt at all, which is where you would like to be at retirement. We all know that a DTI of 0% is not actually possible because you will always have some recurring bills. Just keep in mind that the closer to 0% debt to income ratio the more financially healthy you are. Remember to evaluate yourself on your net income and you should be doing even better.
