Too many prospective homebuyers base their buying decision on rates and monthly payments instead of the outright price of the home. But this is the trap. Monthly payments are measured against your solvency, but your wealth is determined by the value of the home. You can remain…

I sold my $GOOG shares. Not happy with the YouTube censorship, not happy with their censorship of $RUM and the blatant election interference. There will potentially be a lot of pending lawsuits and legal issues coming up. I will say $GOOG has pretty good financials and a solid…

It is much easier to move when you are renting. It is much easier to liquidate your stocks than it is to liquidate your house.

Even if Tylonel doesn't increase the risk of autism, I think it's universal common sense not to be ingesting ANY drugs when pregnant unless absolutely necessary.

My rule of thumb before buying a property is to budget out a 12% loss reserve on the purchase price of the property to account for the transaction costs for both the buy and the eventual sell. This covers things including agent costs, legal fees, land transfer taxes, moving…

"increases risk to" and "contributes to" does not mean the same thing as "causes". Don't let people gaslight you.

Over the long run (25 or 30 years), the return on a market index like the S&P is more stable and predictable than the return on a single property, despite the equity markets commanding a higher risk premium than real estate. One major reason for this is the idiosyncratic risks…
