The home swapping network: flexible travelers can slash vacation costs by trading houses
Article Abstract:
Many travelers abroad can save money and enrich the experience by swapping houses with someone at the destination. Each person or family enjoys the other's house, facilities, and even pets and neighbors, often with no money changing hands. Some people arrange it themselves, meeting exchanges through word of mouth or newspaper ads. Others use agencies, which may publish a directory for a $100 fee or actually perform nearly all the preparatory work for travelers. Planning ahead is helpful, but flexibility is more important.

Renting right: getting less square footage but more flexibility in leases is the way to go
Article Abstract:

Aside from downsizing and client pressure to reduce fees, the technological revolution is a big push for law firms to make do with less space. Some expect litigation practices to become paperless in the next few years. There is a growing reliance in leases on good guy clauses or letters of credit rather than personal liability of law firm partners in the event a firm disbands before the lease is up.
