honestly, if I had known what a consultant was in 7th grade I would have absolutely wanted to have been a consultant.

Sounds like someone met me, and I left a lasting impression.

or my potential soul mate thought the same thing and I should meet them

I knew in 9th grade after I watched “Up in the Air”

I only knew what consulting was when I was 25 🤷‍♂️

Sounds like someone who is lying

Curious about thoughts on on discount points (I think I’ve already read every article on Google). I am refinancing my personal residence (future rental) as well as a rental property. The mortgage brokers discourage me from spending a ton on points (rolled in, not up front). In some cases, it’s a 16 year break even. I get that’s a very long time to break even, but I have no intention of getting rid of the properties and doubt rates will drop much below current. Max breakeven point for you?

Someone please tell me where in tf I need to drop my Hinge location in the DMV area to find my person.
