People Are More Likely to Lie Via Text Message
The last time you faked sick to get out of an event, did you send a text or make a phone call? It turns out that people are more likely to lie via text message, according to a new study from the University of British Columbia. Researchers from the UBC’s Sauder School of Business asked 170 students to perform mock stock transactions in one of four ways: face-to-face, by video, by audio or by text chatting. Half the participants were told to pretend they were stockbrokers and would be given a financial reward if they sold as much bad stock as possible to the “buyers.”
What Does it Take to Own a House?
Owning a home is a dream for many people that, with some proper planning, can easily become a reality. There are a few necessary items potential buyers will need in order to become homeowners—namely money, knowledge of the local real estate market (or the services of a licensed real estate agent), and patience. Time is another factor. Unless you find the perfect house right away, budget for a minimum of 2 months to find a house and close the deal. It takes an average of 30 to 45 days for a house to close. After that, you must purchase home owner’s insurance and sign a variety of documents. Then the house is yours.
