When done responsibly, cosigning can be an invaluable tool for helping a loved one with limited credit history gain access to the housing or credit they need. However, before you pick up that pen and sign on the dotted line, be sure you know how attaching your name to someone else’s debt may potentially impact your own finances.

Did you know in order for something to become a memory, acquisition, consolidation, and recall functions must occur?

According to WebMD, consolidation is when the memory becomes stable in the brain. For this to happen, it requires a good night of sleep. Without adequate sleep, your brain has a harder time absorbing and recalling new information.

Tips to Sleep Better at Night:
💡 Reduce Blue Light Exposure - Blue light can come from electronic devices which can trick your brain into thinking it's still daytime. In order to reduce blue light exposure, wear glasses that block blue light or stop using electronics before heading to bed.

☕️ Don't Consume Caffeine Late in the Day - Caffeine can stay elevated in your body for 6 to 8 hours. Therefore, it is recommended to not drink caffeine after 3 p.m.

😴 Sleep and Wake Up at Consistent Times - Having a regular sleep and wake cycle time can aid long-term sleep quality.

Do you enjoy taking photos? A freelance photographer may be your career calling!📸

Things to Know Before Becoming a Freelance Photographer:

📷 When you are first starting out, it is recommended to do some work for free to build your portfolio. You can also find local models who need portraits for their modeling portfolio, and that way you both benefit.

🎞 Every freelance photographer needs a strong portfolio in order to attract clients. Define your unique style of photography that can make you stand out. Find your strengths and weaknesses, and the kind of equipment/editing styles you prefer.

🤳 As a freelance photographer, you get to choose what types of work you take on and turn down work that doesn’t align with your style or interests.
