Winning and losing -- so hierarchical and structured and inorganic. I think we need to hunker down closer to the earth, and have a group hug.
I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I think the idea of an adjustable rate is scary - until I remember the 80's when a 13% interest rate on a home loan wasn't uncommon. Mine can't get that high. I think the possibility of refi in 3 years when mine can start adjusting has always been part of the plan.
buying a house is one of those things that made me think more seriously about what should be bought on credit.
education, and real estate are the top two.
cars go there- but my loan is a 0% so it counts as a bill, not credit in the usual sense.
there are things that go on the CC for the extra guarentees. I would prefer to pay them all off every month. ahh... youth.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
today's historically low interest rates and skyrocketing home values, most people end up ahead.
Local.
Interest rises everywhere. Property vals everywhere? Not so much.
Everyone whose home is more valuable than earlier... kiss Maria.

Hee. My mother suggested taking out a loan for my college education, and I told her under NO circumstances would I let her do that on my behalf.
It never occured to me that loans for university were more than normal, and that it was a cost that the student would bear.
God bless McGill. I think there might have been a loan involved in my sister's third degree, but she's a little brainiac and people like to give her neurons money.
Whoops. Way past my bedtime.
Quick question for those familiar with the LA area: Is Runyon Canyon worth driving to? Are there like canyons worth looking at closer to West LA?

Right. Hugging. Yes.
Of course. All over that.
