Serious question, why is the market so bad? Does federal housing rates truly play a significant factor? Rates were12-15% many years ago and the market was booming. I don’t think presidential elections or anything has to do with this. I’m starting to believe this is about control and cooperate greed. The question is how do you overcome this? I’m becoming majorly depressed!

I believe companies are holding off on offers because of economic uncertainty. As some that did Corp FPA (HC forecasting) for years this is the tightest it’s been. Congress, Federal reserve, and Stock Market have a lot of influence.

Housing rates only affect specific industries. Corporate tax rates, capital financing/interest rates, stock market, global trade prices, supply chain costs, and CPI/PPI have more impact on cash flow, EBITDA, and thus hiring budget approvals.

I wish I had a crystal ball. But my guess is November. I think either party winning will improve hiring. Companies just don’t want uncertainty

Probably the antithesis of this bowl - but need some advice. This is for a house in a Southern metro. Built in 1960s completely remodeled in 2000s with some very recent additional remodeling of kitchen and bathrooms. Well kept house. The price will be nearly $1M, the same as something built in 2010+ with similar square footage (because a lot of the price is the lot, its a super expensive zip). Should I steer clear because of the age? Will it cost a ton in maintenance and utility bills?

How concerned are you about inflation? We have 70% savings rate and 50% of our expenses are housing / utilities of which the largest part is rent which is a fixed contract (no CPI escalation, no automatic increases, paying same rent for 4 years). No car as we are living in a large city. So if I look at the components of CPI and what’s rising I am feeling pretty „good“ about it. The one thing I am „worried“ is asset inflation but obviously that benefits me directly. What am I missing?

Do you all feel that the Health Insurance choice is actually all the same? The coverage is absolutely copy and paste for Bronze to Platinum and the deductible/copay is very similar.
I just don’t understand why we have the illusion of “choice” if the offer is the same and it is really bad (in our case).
Going from $61 per paycheck for 2.5k deductible 75% copay to $500+ per paycheck with 500 deductible 85% copay.
Other firms have better health insurance?
