If you haven’t had the opportunity to take advantage of the First Time Homebuyer’s credit and you are serviceman or woman, you a new tax credit currently being considered in Congress may bring some good news your way. According to reports, Congress is considering making a major change to the tax credit with the help of several smaller bills that are being collectively referred to as the “Service Members Home Ownership Act of 2009.” As the name implies, these changes will only affect military personnel in terms of being eligible to take advantage of the credit. Nonetheless, these proposed changes are being interpreted by many to be a sign that more changes may be on the horizon.
Through this new legislation, servicemen and women will be made exempt from the stipulation of the First Time Homebuyer’s credit, which requires buyers to occupy their homes for three years following the purchase in order to fully qualify for the credit. Obviously, this guideline serves as a problem for military personnel who may be called upon to transfer overseas after purchasing their homes. While overseas, many military personnel choose to rent out their homes or to simply let them sit vacant, both of which would cause them to be deemed ineligible to keep the credit they received when purchasing the home.
With the help of the bill proposals, military personnel who sell their homes within the first 36 months because they are transferred to a new duty station or sent overseas will not be responsible for repaying the tax credit. Rather, the time they spend away from their homes while serving their country will count toward fulfilling the requirement.
For military personnel who missed out on the tax credit because they knew they wouldn’t qualify due to an upcoming transfer or overseas posting, the proposed bill will also provide them with an extension. Rather than expiring on November 30, 2009, the deadline will be extended to November 30, 2010 for those who served outside of the United States for at least three months in 2009.
These proposed changes represent the first major changes to be made to the First Time Homebuyer’s tax credit since it was first set into action. For some, the proposal to make these changes is a promising indication of additional changes and extensions being made to the general public. Whether or not extensions will be proposed to anyone other than military personnel, however, still remains to be seen.

A child’s interpretation of his/her adoption is almost totally dependent on the manner in which it is conveyed during the early years. Parents are well advised to find examples of adoptions that convey respect and dignity to the adopted child. One such example is the story of Moses. Moses, who was adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter, was chosen by God to do great things for the nation of Israel. Other examples can be more specific to persons you know such as a friend of the family, or respected person in the community, who was also adopted. The more the child knows about good, successful people who were adopted, the less he or she will see being adopted as a disadvantage. It should go without saying that adoptive parents should never approach the subject of adoption sadly or negatively. The adoption is something to celebrate and give thanks for. Don’t constantly remind the child of his uniqueness as an adopted child. Instead, stress how similar your family is to all other healthy-happy families. Similarities abound, especially with the increasing commonality of blended families. According to the US census (2000), there are over 4 million step-children in the US.

Action Plan
Just like parenting one’s own children, adopting and caring for an adopted child, of any age, is hard work.

Financial Matters: The cost of adoption differs depending on whether one is adopting domestically, from the public foster care system, or from overseas. Domestic adoptions and inter-country adoptions cost anywhere between $8,000-$40,000. Usually, the overall cost falls between $15,000-$25,000. The cost of adopting a child from foster care is minimal. However, necessary post-adoption services should also be considered when determining costs. Additional expenses might include medical procedures, counseling or psychological services, and services for children with special needs. To help with the high cost of adoption, there are a number of cost-saving programs, such as federal tax credits, which assist in both pre- and post-adoption expenses.

Truth Matters: Many adoptive parents want to know when the right time is to tell their child he or she is adopted. The answer is always the same right now. If possible, begin talking to the child about his/her adoption before he/she can say adoption. When parents take this approach, there will never be a conversation where they will need to break the news. Instead, the child will always know they were adopted. Many parents will make a scrap book of the adoption process, and keep it with the child’s baby book. Other parents, if adopting a child from oversees, will incorporate parts of the child’s culture such as foods, language, or clothing in his/her upbringing.

It is very tempting to think that we can give up our stressful (high paying) job and opt for a simpler way of life. As we travel through mid life, this option looks ever more appealing.

If we take a less stressful job (with less money) we won’t need to spend so much. No more commuting or expensive business suits. Let’s stop trying to keep up with the neighbours and friends and opt for a simpler way of life. We’ve seen most of the world so let’s explore our own country – we’ve always said that we would do that and it’ll be much cheaper than going to the Maldives again.

We can grow our own vegetables, keep chickens and pigs and make our own clothes. We can use green energy. We can cycle to most places, so we only need one car – maybe we don’t need a car at all.

This is all very ‘doable’ and lots of families have travelled this road before. There are many benefits and also a host of issues that you need to consider. The job of the Mid Life Devil’s Advocate is to help you to understand some of these issues. The Advocate isn’t trying to dissuade you from taking up The Good Life, just making sure that you’re aware of some of the ‘warts’.

So what is the Devil’s Advocate’s view of The Good Life? Here are some points to ponder:

• The first thing that you will consider is growing you own vegetables. See The Mid Life Devil’s Advocate’s earlier advice on growing you own.
• If that doesn’t put you off, you’re made of stern stuff – excellent!
• You may consider keeping chickens to lay eggs and provide a Sunday roast. Your chickens will not lay eggs every day. Some days you will have no eggs, other days you may have several.
• If you want to breed your own chickens you will need a cockerel. Cockerels crow at first light. They will wake you up. They will also wake your neighbours up, who may not share your passion for chickens.
• When your eggs hatch, statistically, half of the chicks will be male, which don’t lay eggs. You can rear these to eat when they mature. This requires you killing them when the time comes. Your kids will probably have given names to all of the chickens and might be horrified when you tell them that ‘We’re having Brad Pitt for dinner on Sunday.’ They may never speak to you again when you kill their pets.
