Benefits and Disadvantages of Living in the City

God made every human different, with their own set of likes and dislikes that are unique to each one of them. And when it comes to choosing between dwelling in the cities or the suburbs, opinions are always divided on which one is better; the city-dwellers would never kowtow to living in the suburbs and vice versa as country-living is as different from living in the city as white is from black!

Many would argue that living in the city is better as you have access to numerous facilities which would otherwise be hard to avail of if living in the suburbs or rural areas. For example, the best hospitals and medical facilities are only available in the cities, so to access these facilities, you will need to travel to the city if you aren’t living there. This can prove to be inconvenient as changing base when sick is tough aside from being expensive. But then there is the flip side of the coin too that people who live away from cities don’t usually get the numerous kind of diseases that city-dwellers are prone to. There are more cases of stress and pollution-related diseases here than in the rural areas, with cardiac diseases, cancer, diabetes, obesity and asthma ruling the roost.

The fruits and vegetables available in the cities are also more prone to being contaminated with preservatives, thus creating avenues for allergies, toxicity and cancers. But then, no pain, no gain, is what the diehard city-dwellers would say. After all, it’s only in the city that you can have numerous job opportunities that aren’t available in the rural areas. Living in the city also exposes you to a multi-cultural, multi-racial society that opens your mind to the world. You get to learn about the newest developments and access the latest technologies as well as have easy access to internet and mobile connections.

Guidelines to Consider Before Purchasing a New Property

There comes a time in every renter’s life when they get fed-up of doling out money at the end of every month and tolerating the unreasonable ‘do’s and don’ts’ from the landlord. That the wake-up call when you realize there are other options out there as well that are pretty lucrative in the long run too. Many renters don’t realize that the money they put down each month can be used as EMI payments instead, towards a home that they would end up owning at the end of the day; this is against spending the same amount each month, lining somebody else’s pockets and still having no permanent of their own. It’s pretty obvious which option you would go for! And once you have decided to buy a property of your own, you first need to go shopping for a home loan; different banks offer different interest rates, so look for the one that offers the lowest interest rates and check how much loan you are eligible for.
