Tip 4 – Let Your Learning Flow Naturally. 

One of the common goals for people in their 20s, 30s and 40s is to "get on the property ladder."

The idea is that when you buy your first home you're taking your first step on that ladder. In time, you may be able to climb higher by selling your property and buying a bigger or better one.

But taking that first step can be difficult — and scary. So what do you need to know before you go from renting or living with family to becoming a homeowner?

Writing for CNBC, real estate reporter Celia Fernandez shared a number of things she wished she'd done before buying her first home.

One thing she mentioned was making sure she had all the necessary paperwork in one place so she could easily show it to banks or lenders. This is good advice for anyone buying a property — you'll probably need to share things like your payslips, bank records and tax returns several times!

Fernandez also advises people to look for "free money." Your country or region may have grants or other programs to help home buyers. Look out for things like tax breaks for first-time home buyers, or grants for refurbishing older homes.

She also suggests asking for financial help from family members. "My biggest regret is not talking to our loved ones right at the beginning of our search," she said.

Of course, not everyone will have this option. But some parents may want to give money to their children during their lives rather than waiting to pass it on as an inheritance, for example.

Finally, Fernandez says it's important to take into account the costs of closing a sale. That might include taxes, legal fees, inspection fees or fees for a real estate agent — and don't forget that you may also have initial refurbishment costs.

You don't want an expensive surprise just as you get your first home!

Tips for Preparing for Your First Property Purchase

第五天，还是羊的事，把小王子的生活秘密向我揭开了。
On the fifth day again, as always, it was thanks to the sheep–the secret of the little prince's life was revealed to me.
好像默默地思索了很长时间以后，得出了什么结果一样，他突然没头没脑地问我：
Abruptly, without anything to lead up to it, and as if the question had been born of long and silent meditation on his problem, he demanded:
羊，要是吃小灌木，它也要吃花罗？
A sheep–if it eats little bushes, does it eat flowers, too?
“它碰到什么就吃什么”，我说。
"A sheep," I answered, "eats anything it finds in its reach."
连有刺的花也吃吗？
Even flowers that have thorns?
有刺的也吃！
Yes, even flowers that have thorns.
那么刺有什么用呢？
Then the thorns–what use are they?
我不知道该怎么回答。
I did not know.
那会儿我正忙着要从发动机上卸下一颗拧得太紧的螺丝。

At that moment, I was very busy trying to unscrew a bolt that had got stuck in my engine.
心里很着急，我发现机器故障似乎很严重，
I was very much worried, for it was becoming clear to me that the breakdown of my plane was extremely serious.
饮水也快完了，担心可能发生最坏的情况，
And I had so little drinking-water left that I had to fear for the worst.
那么刺有什么用呢？
The thorns–what use are they?
小王子一旦提出了问题，从来不会放过。
这个该死的螺丝使我很恼火，
我于是就随便回答了他一句：“刺么，什么用都没有，这纯粹是花的恶劣表现。”
And I answered with the first thing that came into my head: "The thorns are of no use at all. Flowers have thorns just for spite!"
噢！
Oh!
可是他沉默了一会儿之后，
There was a moment of complete silence.
怀着不满的心情冲我说：“我不信！”
Then the little prince flashed back at me, with a kind of resentfulness: "I don't believe you!"
花是弱小的、淳朴的，它们总是设法保护自己，
Flowers are weak creatures. They are naive. They reassure themselves as best they can.
以为有了刺就可以显出自己的厉害。
They believe that their thorns are terrible weapons.
我默不作声。
I did not answer.
我当时想的，“如果这个螺丝再和我作对，我就一锤子敲掉它。”
At that instant I was saying to myself: "If this bolt still won't turn, I am going to knock it out with the hammer."
小王子又来打搅我的思绪了。
Again the little prince disturbed my thoughts.
你却认为花…
“嗷，不，”我哭着说，“算了吧，算了吧！我什么也不认为！”
我是随便回答你的。
I answered you with the first thing that came into my head.
我可有正经事要做。
Don't you see–I am very busy with matters of consequence!

(A)  Zum zehnten Mal wurde DIESER TAGE das Ergebnis einer Untersuchung zum Glücksgefühl vieler Nationen veröffentlicht. TROTZ großer Krisen in den vergangenen drei Jahren ist das Glücksempfinden in den meisten Bevölkerungen stabil geblieben. 

(B) Interessanterweise finden sich in den nordeuropäischen Ländern Finnland, Dänemark und Island die meisten GLÜCKLICHEN Leute: Diese Länder belegen die ersten drei Plätze des Weltglücksberichts. Deutschland hingegen findet man an 16. Stelle.  

(C) Die Forscher haben sechs Schlüsselfaktoren gefunden, an denen sich das nationale Glücksgefühl eines Landes festmachen lässt: Soziale Unterstützung, Einkommen, Gesundheit, Freiheit, Großzügigkeit und Abwesenheit von Korruption. Es wäre interessant zu erfahren, welche dieser Faktoren die Deutschen heutzutage vermissen, denn im Glücksbericht vom Jahr 2020 stand Deutschland noch auf Platz 7.
