Many will tell you that one's home is not an asset... If that's true, then how did I spend the past 7 years leveraging my home's equity to acquire 3 additional income properties, worth a combined $2.6M, that cash-flow more than $6K/mo...?


Starting one wide receiver who scores 4.3pts, while the wide receiver on your bench scores 24.9pts...

Women deal with periods, pregnancy, and menopause. Wtf do men deal with ?



And MAGA wonders why women don't vote for MAGA candidates...

It’s time. Repeal the 19th.



Anyone else seeing a huge uptick in spam/robo calls? Nothing election related, just random home services, health insurance, final expense life insurance, and other crap... I feel like I'm getting 30-40 calls per day. It's ridiculous.


Election of socialist mayor prompts man who heads one of the most socialized government entities to resign. 🤔

BREAKING: New York City's fire commissioner, Robert Tucker, RESIGNS.

Do people really wonder why Mamdani won the NYC mayor's race? All the other clowns were cucking for Israel, instead of focusing on the needs of the people living in NYC. The last thing I want my mayor worrying about, is any foreign nation.

At the NYC Democratic mayoral debate, candidates' willingness to travel to Israel became a major point of contention. Zohran Mamdani was the only candidate who opposed the trip, stating that he preferred to interact with Jews in New York. #NYC #Israel



If Mamdani and his policy proposals are as bad as Republican claim, they should be salivating at the prospect of him winning, so they can point at NYC in 2026 and say "Look at NYC, is are these the far left policies you want for America?!" So the fact that they are turning to…

The 14th Amendment may allow Congress the authority to BAN Mamdani from office. I am looking into this. nypost.com/2025/11/01/us-…



This chart is great for anyone who has the power to go back in time to 2010, and invest accordingly. But no one knows what the next 15 years will look like. Will the S&P500 7x itself again? Will it be relatively flat? Will home values double? Will home values retreat? Let's all…

Today, I watched a high-school student walk past my house, eat the final bite of her lunch, and then blatantly toss her styrofoam container and fork in my yard without a second thought. I say blatantly, as she saw me, knew it was my house, and knew that I would see her do it...…


So glad I exited my entire $CMG position yesterday morning. Bullet dodged.

Every position in my taxable investment account is up for the year, except for $CMG, which is currently down 14.93%. I like the brand, we eat their food, it feels like a decent value, and I never visit a Chipotle location that isn't fairly busy, so what gives? Do I continue to…



I remember 2015. Many people, including myself worried that it wasn't a great time to a buy a house, that a housing correction was looming. Fast forward to 2025, and pretty much everyone would give almost anything to have purchased a home at 2015 prices, and 2015 rates.

73% of Americans think it’s a bad time to buy a house, per Fannie Mae.



Is there any reason for SNAP to cover any beverages beyond: - water - milk Would anyone's health suffer by being limited to these two beverages? In fact, I'm guessing many people's health would improve.


If he thinks that's bad, just wait until he learns how badly those who paid off their 2.65% mortgage underperformed... 😬

In 2024, the average equity investor returned 16.54% vs S&P 500 25.05%, a ~8.5 percentage-point gap in a single year. The same story continues… Drastic underperformance.



Them: By financing my car for 72 months, instead of 36 months, I'm lowering my monthly payment, and that gives me greater peace of mind. Me: Cool, I guess... but you do realize it will cost you a lot more in the long run. Them: By paying off my low-interest mortgage, insteading…


Much of the "should i pay off my mortgage" debate has been focused on interest rate and opportunity cost. But another major factor is how much liquid capital you'd have left after paying off the mortgage. If you have $600,000 liquid, and paying off your mortgage only leaves you…


There seems to be no progress on resolving the government shutdown, so what are the odds they end the shutdown before Thanksgiving? And if not, will any air traffic controllers show up to work for that extremely busy travel week?


I know I'll probably never be able to sway the "pay off your low interest mortgage" crowd, but I'm so glad I didn't cash-out my taxable investment account, to pay off my primary mortgage, just so I could save $20,250/yr in interest payments. To each their own, I guess.

If the budget dog truly believed in his S&P500 index investing advice, would he really be encouraging you to pay off your low-interest mortgage ahead of schedule... 🤔

Remember when Republicans use to despise election interference.

It's absolutely reasonable for the tenant to expect their landlord to fix or replace the included dishwasher, in less than a month. Dudes like this give landlords a bad name.

This is why I'm done being a landlord. Not worth it. The entitlement of tenants is through the roof. If Brandon owned the house, he'd likely hand wash the dishes and work through the warranty process like a responsible adult. As a renter? Me me me... Fix now!
