A home is a place of residence or refuge and comfort. It is usually a place in which an individual or a family can rest and be able to store personal property. Most modern-day households contain sanitary facilities and a means of preparing food. Animals have their own homes as well, either living in the wild or in a domesticated environment. As an alternative to the definition of "home" as a physical locale, home may be perceived to have no physical definition--instead, home may relate instead to a mental or emotional state of refuge or comfort.

There are certain cultures in which members lack permanent homes, such as with nomadic people.

How will the home buyer tax credits be applied to me and my fiance?
Q. In February 2010, I will have owned my home for 5 years, making me eligible for the $6,500 tax credit if I purchased another home by April. My fiance has never owned a home, making her eligible for the $8,000 tax credit as a first time home buyer. We're very eager to purchase a home before April. How would the tax credits on a purchase apply to a couple in our situation? Thank you.
Asked by Brian M - Fri Nov 13 10:45:07 2009 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments

A. If you *don't* get married, and buy the house together, you would have to pick a credit and then split it. If you opt for her to get the $8000, she can apply for all of it. (And runs the risk of paying the entire amount back.) If you opt for the $6500 credit, the details aren't out, but presumably you would claim the entire $6500 and she would claim $0.

A. The best home business that you can be sure is not a scam is one that you start yourself. It will depend on what you want, how you define to be interesting. A person may consider a pet sitting business to be the most exciting work in the world, while another person would rather watch TV than take care of dogs. The key is to determine what your interests are, what you want to do, what is suitable for your lifestyle and your overall goals, and what can fit with your resources. Dan Ramsey in his book "101 Best Home Businesses" has a chapter on how to find YOUR best home business. He suggests these 10 steps: 1. List 5 things you do best 2. List how others would benefit from what you do best 3. Find out how to give people what they want 4.… [cont.]

home owner rights when neighbor plants a large tree blocking view?
Q. my home was built a number of years before my neighbor built their home. now they have planted a ash tree that will block my view of the valley. I live on a mountain bench above the city. we have an excellent view of the valley and sunsets. their house sits directly behind and lower than ours which took out some of our view. now they are planting trees to give them privacy from our rear decks. what can we do?
Asked by Paul O - Tue May 20 22:22:54 2008 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You know what, it's your own fault for being too cheap to buy the vacant lot next to you before your neighbor built his home on it. If you wanted to ensure that you would have your view for the rest of your life then you should have spent the money, bought the lot, and kept it mowed. It is now his property and he can do what he wants with it, so keep your mouth shut and mind your own business. I have had neighbors try to tell me what I should and shouldn't plant in my yard over the years and I responded to them by putting up a tall privacy fence. Quit being so selfish and realize that your neighbors have rights too and you are way out of line trying to control what they do with their own property. If you really think that you have a… [cont.]

A home is a place of residence or refuge and comfort. It is usually a place in which an individual or a family can rest and be able to store personal property.

Sourced

  • Home is where the heart is.
    • Ancient saying, reported at least as early as 1847, in Joseph C. Neal, "Singleton Snippe. Who Married for a Living", Graham's Magazine (1847), p. 166: "Home is where the heart is; and Snippe's heart was a traveler—a locomotive heart, perambulating; and it had no tendencies toward circumscription and confine".
  • A man's house is his castle — et domus sua cuique est tutissimum refugium.
    • Edward Coke, The First Part of the Institutes of the Laws of England, or, A Commentary on Littleton (London, 1628, ed. F. Hargrave and C. Butler, 19th ed., London, 1832), Third Institute, p. 162. The exact translation of the Latin portion is: "and where shall a man be safe if it be not in his own house?", quoted from Pandects, lib. ii. tit. iv. De in Jus vocando.
  • Home is home, though it be never so homely.
    • English proverb, reported in John Clarke, Paræmiologia (1639), p. 101.
  • 'Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there 's no place like home; A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there, Which sought through the world is ne'er met with elsewhere.
    • John Howard Payne, Home, Sweet Home (1822), from the opera of "Clari, the Maid of Milan"
  • Sitting with my gin or whisky afterwards I would often manage to get into conversation with some lonely man or other – usually an exile like myself – and the talk would be about the world, air-routes and shipping-lines, drinking-places thousands of miles away. Then I felt happy, felt I had come home, because home to people like me is not a place but all places, all places except the one we happen to be in at the moment.
