While the real estate market seems to be cooling a bit, skyrocketing mortgage rates are driving affordability to the lowest level since the 1980s. Americans are taking notice and realizing their dream home may never be in the cards. I wanted to make sure you saw the report I sent last week on American’s dream homes.
More than 1,000 Americans across each generation were surveyed. The study found 90% believe owning a home is part of the American dream but 51% say it isn’t attainable.
Still, renters are hopeful they will get into a home soon. The report includes generational insights on what people are looking for in their ideal home and how many wish to own a vacation home.
If you close your eyes and picture your dream home, does it look similar to where you’re currently living?
For the overwhelming majority, that dream home is just a dream.
IPX1031 surveyed more than 1,000 Americans across each generation about their dream homes. 94% said they are not currently living in their dream home, with the top reason being they cannot afford it.
What would those dream homes look like? Where are the dream homes located? How much would the dream homes cost?
The study found… – Modern was the top architecture and interior design style – 57% prefer new construction over renovating a home – 35% want four beds – 38% want 3 baths
The most desired dream home features… 1. A view 2. Big backyard 3. A Large family room 4. Front porch
The top luxury amenities people are looking for are land and privacy (59%), a hobby room (48%), and a home theater (42%).
51% said their dream home is out of reach, with half of millennials estimating their dream home would cost between $500,000 to over a million dollars.
Take a look at the full report, which also includes generational insights on what people are looking for in their ideal home, how many renters plan to become homeowners in the next five years, and which generation wants to own a vacation home.

As we approach the holiday season, self-care is very important. Despite feeling burned out, almost 1 in 3 (31%) say they engage in more self-care activities during the holiday season. Check out this study on American self-care habits.
Self-care is becoming increasingly important in our everyday lives, and as we approach the winter season, self-care becomes even more vital.
What does self-care look like?
It can mean different things for different people, but what are some of the most popular self-care activities?
According to a new study from Within Health, the most common self-care activity across the United States is journaling. Other popular forms of self-care include exercise, yoga, taking a bath, and sleep.
Good news: 3 in 5 Americans feel like they have enough money and time to prioritize the self-care they need. On average, Americans are spending 6 hours each week engaging in self-care activities and spend about $90 monthly.
Over half (52%) of Americans say they feel more burned out during the holiday season, and 50% add that it can be hard to make self-care a priority during the holidays.
“As the holidays approach, give yourself the gift of self-care,” says Katie Piel, Primary Therapist with Within Health.
“Mindfulness is one quick way to give your mind and body a break during the whirlwind of the holidays and it doesn’t have to add extra time in your day. Engaging in mindfulness as self-care is an easy and free way to increase your peace and decrease your stress.”

Experts from Nasty Gal have carried out new research, revealing which state is the best for a low cost, fun, and safe night out. The study analyzed factors such as the cost of a cocktail, cab, fast food meal, the number of bars, and safety in each state.
Wisconsin ranked in first place, with the cheapest cocktails, and the most five star bars and clubs per 1,000 people.
Best & Worst U.S. states for a Girl’s Night Out
A new study from fashion experts at Nasty Gal reveals which U.S. states top the charts for a safe and affordable night out. The experts used cost of living data to find the average cost of a cocktail, cab (5 mile journey), fast food meal, bottle of wine, and a high street party dress.
The study used data from Trip Advisor to analyze the number of bars and clubs per 1,000 people in each state, along with the number of five star rated venues. Safety is essential, the experts also factored in the safety of each state before scoring each location a total score out of 100.
Best U.S. States for a Girl’s Night Out
The data revealed that Wisconsin is the best state for a night out, thanks to its low-cost cocktails and highest number of bars and clubs per 1,000 people.
In total, there are 1,107 bars and clubs in Wisconsin, by which 18% were rated five star, making this the highest rating for this factor overall.
The average cost of a cocktail ($7.30) is significantly lower than many other states.
In California ,you will spend around $15 per drink, and pay half the price in Wisconsin.
Wyoming comes in second place due to its affordability factors. The data reveals that a fast-food meal here costs an average of $5.90, which is significantly less than most other states where it ranges from $7 to $10.
If you are looking for a new dress, you can grab a bargain, with the average cost of a high street dress just $26.11.
A bottle of wine from the local store is reported to be cheaper in Wyoming, coming in at just $9.66 on average. It’s also the best option for those who want a more relaxed night out, as the smallest state in the United States of America.
In third place, Vermont takes the reign, as the safest city for a night out and famous for its breathtaking scenery, meaning you can party under the stars.
North Dakota which has 551 bars and clubs across the state, giving you plenty of options to choose from. If you want to say cheers with a glass of something sweet, cocktails and wine are reasonably priced here.
Also making the top five is Iowa, which is a firm favourite for a night out thanks to Iowa and Iowa State University enrolling over 30,000 students each.
Texas ranks at the bottom of the list, due to low safety levels and high overall costs. California ranks in the bottom three and one of the most expensive, has a low proportion of bars and clubs in relation to its population.

Experts at Nasty Gal have broken it down the key differences between the most and least expensive states for a night out.
The Most Affordable…
Cocktails – Wisconsin $7.30
Bottle of wine – Wyoming $9.66
High Street dress – Wyoming $26.11
Cab (5 mile journey) – Vermont $10.39
Fast food meal – Wyoming $5.90
The Most Expensive…
Cocktails – California $15.30
Bottle of wine – Maryland $37.70
High Street dress – Washington $86.00
Cab (5 mile journey) – New Jersey $35.00
Fast food meal – California $11.00
From the study, Vermont came out as the safest city overall, followed by Maine and then New Hampshire. On the opposing end of the scale Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas ranked as the cities with lowest safety levels.
A spokesperson from Nasty Gal commented on the findings:
“There’s nothing more exciting than getting ready for a night out, however, if you want to have the time of your life without spending a fortune, it’s so important to know where to go. When you’ve got your best dress on, it can often be disappointing if the night doesn’t meet your expectations and you’re left with nothing more than an empty wallet. With that in mind, we hope this study can help those searching for a safe, low-cost, and exciting night with their favourite girls or guys.”
Methodology
Average cost of a cocktail, bottle of wine (mid-range), dress from a high street store, cab (5 mile) with starting tariff, and fast-food meal such as a McDonald’s Big Mac meal were sourced using cost of living data from Numbeo and Expatisan. To get an average cost for each state, data for the three most populated cities was collected and averaged out.
Trip Advisor data was used to find the number of bars and clubs in each state, along with the number given a 5* rating. We then used population data for each state to calculate how many bars/clubs per 1,000 people. Safety data for each state was sourced from world population review.

Remember when you were in middle school? It is awkward and confusing time for many. It has its good and bad moments. While some of us may want to forget it, the non-profit Higher Achievement believes Middle school is an exciting time of growth for teens to dreams, gain sense of self develop and begin to shape their career paths. Thousands of talented young people in the DMV region are living this pivotal time, but too many lack access to opportunities to help them thrive. With community leadership and your partnership, Higher Achievement is able to step in to fill those gaps.
One of the most important factors in recovering from this learning loss is extra hours of instruction and academic support. Higher Achievement is working to be part of the academic solution, in support of social-emotional learning and high school readiness.
Help Higher Achievement’s scholars on their journey towards success in high school and beyond by attending Going Places 2022, on November 2 at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, or by making your commitment of sponsorship by October 14.
Higher Achievement’s evidence-based program model prepares scholars academically and socially for high school, college, and careers. During their formative years at Higher Achievement, scholars:
Explore their interests
Define and pursue their goals for the future
Sharpen their communication skills
With the help of mentors, staff, and peers.
Higher Achievement scholars have futures as educators, entrepreneurs, scientists, engineers, and lawyers. No matter their path, scholars leave Higher Achievement well-prepared for placement in college preparatory high schools that will enable them to pursue their ambitions. This fall, Higher Achievement alumni are attending excellent schools throughout the metropolitan area, including School Without Walls, Duke Ellington School of the Arts, Eleanor Roosevelt High School, Benjamin Banneker Academic High School, and Alexandria City High School.
Please consider celebrating and supporting the journey towards high school success by attending Going Places 2022, on November 2 at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library. Higher Achievement would greatly appreciate your consideration of purchasing a ticket or otherwise donating.
Your support of this mission is a direct investment in the talented future leaders of our community.

You’re about to make us create a podcast by 2023. Most black women with hair have hair volume. This volume looks different on all of us based on our diverse heritage. Black women who grow out their hair ( not all of us want to or can ). Yes, that volume can be brushed straight or sorta straight. Yes, some of us may want to use chemicals. Yes, some of those chemicals can cause cancer or kills us. So, choose wisely.
But no matter what, we all understand, our hair or lack of hair requires extra care. It’s why we call it the crown. The average black woman is multi-ethnic. Some think only fair complexion black women are ‘mixed’ race but there are many ‘mixed’ dark complexion black americans out there. People just never talk openly about what that means and about race in America and around the world.
A significant amount of Black Americans have traces of Caucasian and other ethnic groups. Yes, I use the word ethnic verse the word race for a reason. We will discuss that in the future.
I am just glad people like the Duchess ( Meghan Markle) are opening up about touchy topics, like hair texture. It’s crazy how the topic of hair is a painful discussion based on how we are treated differently. We sadly live in a very racist and cruel world. But we have the power to change the world and make it better.
One thing I can tell you is this: the Duchess, Mariah Carey, Beyonce, you, and even me can change the world. We can grow our hair volume or show off a bald head while we do it. We can grow afros. Yes, I am related to white women who can grow afros. And Yes, I am still trying to grow a perfectly beautiful afro like Michael Jackson ( someone we noticed went through painful moments while breaking glass ceiling of things we know are racial barriers). Mike, wherever you are now, know I am still figuring a way to grow my fro like yours.
Did you know that women-founded startups generate $0.78, while male-founded startups generate only $0.31 for every dollar of venture capital funding received?
Here at Fromgirltogirl.com, we share inspiring information for women of all ages. We hope and our audience would appreciate this visual detailing fascinating statistics about women and money. Including:
Gender Wage Gap
Data on women’s confidence in managing finances
Basic strategies to achieve financial independence.
When considering financial strategies, break up your goals into three time-based concepts:
Long-term goals = more than 10 years
Mid-term goals = between three to 10 years
Short-term goals = less than three years
Here are some of the easiest ways women can build wealth:
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics , 57.4% of all American women participate in the labor force. There have been some improvements in gender equality in the workplace, but there is still much work to be done.
90% of global companies have at least one woman in a senior management role as of 2021.
19 companies around the world have successfully closed their gender pay gap, including the U.S.-based companies Dow and National Instruments.
In 2021, women of color received management promotions at the same rate as all women total for the first time in recorded history.
Nielsen Holdings is the highest-ranked American company on the list of world’s leading companies for gender equality, coming in fifth globally.
61% of women in the workforce would prefer getting a pay increase over additional time off. Only 6.5% of American women work full-time in male-dominated occupations.
Achieving equity in the workplace can lead to increased opportunities for leadership positions, decision-making power and financial freedom for women. Let it be.
