Welcome to the first episode of season 3! I am going back into the concept of intution and asking you to practice asking your body parts for wisdom, especially when you suspect you might be taking on too much. We may be surprised when we tune into a specific question and ask our heart, head, or gut about a decision? Or maybe we tune into our shoulders instead for a less conventional check in to ask: Where is it I'm overdoing things? What are you carrying right not that feels like too much? Give these a try and let me know what you discover!

What's up, guys? Welcome to another episode of Spilling the Beans. Today I'm sitting down with my buddy Mike Wilkinson, who's a good friend of mine here in Charleston, South Carolina. He has a successful financial business, and what I really love about Mike is his personal financial strategy. He is a phenomenal steward of capital. He's been able to take a W-2 position and increase his earning potential, keeping his expenses low. Mike makes a huge spread every single year, then deploys that into different types of investments. He's created an amazing lifestyle for him and his family. So I'm excited to sit down with him and just kind of extract some of those strategies, what he does, what he focuses on, and how he's been able to become financially free in his early forties. //SAY HI TO MIKE Instagram: @michaelwilky Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wmwilkinson 0:00 Meet Mike 6:15 Getting Stuff Done From Home 10:17 Where'd You Learn About Personal Finance? 15:47 What's Money For? 24:18 Turning Your House Into An Asset 33:13 Alternative Investments //LINKS TO MY OFFERS Legacy Wealth Academy: https://www.lwacademy.com/ Commercial Empire: http://commercialempire.com/ Legacy Family Mastermind: http://legacyfamilymastermind.com/ Click here to download our FREE multifamily deal calculator: http://legacywealthholdings.ac-page.com/calculator-giveaway //FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL IG - https://www.instagram.com/timbratz/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@timbratz Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/tlbratz LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/timbratz/ Website: LegacyWealthHoldings.com //ABOUT ME Tim Bratz is the Founder & CEO of Legacy Wealth Holdings, a leading real estate investment company.

Ken, Iggy, and Michael sample Heaven Hill Quality House, which is a budget-friendly 80-proof offering. Will this bottom-shelf offering from one of the best distilleries on the planet make the cut? #whiskey #bourbon #Heaven Hill Quality House #80 proof #budget-friendly #citrus #JTS Brown #label design #aroma #mixing Heaven Hill Quality House 80 Proof Bourbon Review Rating: 3.5/5 Heaven Hill Quality House 80 Proof Bourbon is a true budget-friendly sipper that won't break the bank, making it a solid choice for those who are just starting their whiskey journey or looking for a casual, everyday pour. During our tasting session, we found some aspects that were worth noting: Appearance: The bourbon boasts a lighter color, which is to be expected given its 80-proof strength. Its label design is eye-catching, featuring subtle sparkles that give it a unique touch on the shelf. Aroma: Heaven Hill Quality House offers an enticing aroma characterized by notes of lemon and citrus. The scent is vibrant and sets the stage for what's to come in the flavor profile. Taste: The flavor profile is where this bourbon truly shines for its price point. While it may not compete with more premium offerings, it does a commendable job. The prominent citrus notes deliver a zesty and refreshing experience. It's not overly complex, but it's straightforward and satisfying. Comparisons: When compared to other budget-friendly bourbons, such as JTS Brown, Heaven Hill Quality House 80 Proof falls just a little short. The 100-proof JTS Brown is favored for its richer flavor and higher alcohol content, which adds depth to the experience. Value for Money: For those on a tight budget, this bourbon is a reasonable choice. At around $12 for a 750ml bottle, it offers good quality without breaking the bank. It's an excellent option for mixing into cocktails or enjoying in casual settings. In conclusion, Heaven Hill Quality House 80 Proof Bourbon is a decent entry-level bourbon for those who appreciate simplicity and affordability. While it might not be the first choice for connoisseurs or enthusiasts seeking complexity, it serves its purpose well as a reliable, everyday sipper. If you come across it, it's worth keeping a bottle on your shelf for those relaxed evenings or for mixing up your favorite whiskey cocktails. So, go ahead, raise your glass, and say, "Cheers, everybody!"

BRT Rebalance w/ Barry Ritholtz: Best of Investing 2022 - BRT S03 EP29 (128) 7-3-2022 Things We Learned This Week Masters of Business Podcast Qs - Who are your mentors? Philosophy? What books are you reading? Advice to graduates? What do you wish you knew 30 years ago? Three Keys to Being an Investor: Process, Behavior, Humility Recession Signs to look For – States Expanding or Detracting, Sahm Rule on unemployment uptick, Yield Curve – is it inverted? Guest: Barry Ritholtz ABOUT BARRY RITHOLTZ & MASTERS IN BUSINESS Bloomberg Opinion columnist Barry Ritholtz looks at the people and ideas that shape markets, investing and business. Barry Ritholtz has spent his career helping people spot their own investment errors and to learn how to better manage their own financial behaviors. He is the creator of The Big Picture, often ranked as the number one financial blog to follow by The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and others. Barry is the creator and host of Bloomberg's Masters in Business radio podcast, and a featured columnist at the Washington Post. He is the author of Bailout Nation: How Greed and Easy Money Corrupted Wall Street and Shook the World Economy (Wiley, 2009). In addition to serving as Chairman and Chief Investment Officer of Ritholtz Wealth Management, he is also on the advisory boards of Riskalyze, and Peer Street, two leading financial technology startups bringing transparency and analytics to the investment business. Barry has named one of the "15 Most Important Economic Journalists" in the United States, and has been called one of The 25 Most Dangerous People in Financial Media. When not working, he can be found with his wife and their two dogs on the north shore of Long Island. https://www.bloomberg.com/podcasts/series/master-in-business https://ritholtzwealth.com/ NOTES: Masters of Business podcast inspiration – On a plane watching finance news, interview of reclusive Hedge Fund Manager. Who are your mentors? Philosophy? What books are you reading? Advice to graduates? What do you wish you knew 30 years ago? Three key things Process – ability to distinguish between skill and luck. Like in sports at high levels in investment industry – differences are minimal. ARK Cathy Wood in 2020. Behavior – how to manage and stay calm, control limbic system, work through bad market. Humility – acknowledge serendipity and luck in life, could have worked differently. Gates not the first to be offered IBM deal. Other tech entrepreneurs visited Xerox Parq Jobs master of design, even on back of machine where no one looks. Inflation Hawks screaming for 15 years, finally right Three signs of Recession – good indicators: States – amount in expansion or contraction . Number of states growing or declining - % all 50 expanding. Philly Federal – State Coincident Indexes (get ink) hard to have recession when all states doing well. Sahm Rule – unemployment uptick .75 basis points in three month period from prior lows, unemployment mid 2022 is good. FRED – St. Louis Fed monitors indicator (get ink) Yield Curve – is it inverted? How long, how deep, careful for false positive data. Bonds interest rates long term higher than short term bonds, inverted when S/T rates higher than L/T. Six months is forever in economy, recession looks unlikely. 2023 – all bets off. Never know what disruption can occur, like Russia invading Ukraine. Outlook for the Knicks to make the Playoffs?

We hear a lot about how your portfolio should have both stocks and bonds — because they typically move opposite to each other. The theory is that when stocks go down, bonds should protect your principal. The problem? Every once in a great while, stocks and bonds both tank. For example, this year, 2022. As of May 10, the S&P 500 is down 16%. At the same time, rising rates have crushed bonds, with some down 20% or more. So, what the heck are you supposed to do when there's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide? Let's find out. Stacy Johnson, financial journalist Miranda Marquit and producer Aaron Freeman to talk about what's going on in the stock and bond markets, what's ahead and what you should be doing. This week's special guest is David Stein, a former institutional fund manager and the author of Money For the Rest of Us. How to invest when the stock market is down. Stacy offers a special look at what to do with your portfolio when things are scary. Hoping to avoid investing in stocks right now? Here are seven ways you can invest without relying on stocks. Do you want to invest in bonds? Check out this comprehensive bond investing guide from our guest David Stein. What about crypto? Sorry, crypto bros. It looks like cryptocurrencies are pretty correlated to the stock market. The Wall Street Journal also has some ideas for investing when stocks and bonds are falling.

David Stein is the host of the Money For the Rest of Us podcast and the author of Money for the Rest of Us: 10 Questions to Master Successful Investing. David was an institutional investment advisor who managed money for endowments, foundations, and financial planners. Eventually, he knew that he wanted to branch out on his own, and he started Money For the Rest of Us. According to David, his new book distills the financial information that he has been talking about for the last 20 years. He breaks the chapters down into 10 questions that we can ask to build a framework for investing. He says that we don’t have to be experts to invest, but having a plan and a framework to work through can help us ask the right questions to discover which investments are right for us. He says that portfolios don’t have to be complicated and can be as simple as two or three funds. In this episode, David walks us through his 10 questions and shares insight and wisdom from his financial experience. He shares the difference between optimzing and diversify and why you can think of your portfolio as a flower garden with a diverse range of plants. He also gives his advice for people who are just starting out with investing and saving. Highlights from This Episode [00:44] David was an institutional investment advisor for about 17 years. He managed money for endowments, foundations, and financial planners. [01:02] When he was in his mid-forties, he realized he wanted to do something else. [01:16] He now works for himself and runs the Money for the Rest of Us Podcast where he teaches people about investing and how money works. [01:58] David Stein is the author of the book Money for the Rest of Us: 10 Questions to Master Successful Investing where he has distilled everything he has been talking about for the last 20 years. [02:40] His book is geared towards individual investors to give them a sense of confidence. [03:13] David wants to help individual investors find a way to analyze all of their options. This book will help them decide how to make decisions around investing and what to invest in. [04:08] The book does include some tactics but those are to reinforce the strategic plan. [04:35] The book is structured with each chapter having a question to ask ourselves before we invest. Together these questions form an investment discipline. [05:45] Question 1 begins with what is it. If we can explain what we're investing in then it may not be the best option. [07:22] Question two asks whether it's investing, speculation, or gambling. Is there an income component? Will the return be positive or negative? Gambling has a negative expected return. We do it for entertainment value. [09:24] We should be spending money on things that help us figure out our purpose in life. When people leave the military they are often not sure what to do next. [11:18] Be aware of the return on your investment whether it's college or another investment. [12:54] The next two questions are what is the upside and the downside. Investments can be broken down into cash flow, how the cash flow is growing, and what are investors paying for that cash flow stream. [14:35] The downside is the maximum potential lost that could happen and what the impact of that would be. [15:30] Understanding how to measure risk helps us to make allocation decisions. [17:18] We've been in a 10-year bull market with stocks. Don't assume recent events are going to continue. [19:33] The next question is who's on the other side of the trade. Knowing who's selling something and why can be valuable information, because you'll know how motivated they are. [22:46] Trading is a zero-sum game and there's a loser for every winner. When you trade Forex or options you're competing against institutions. Those institutions know more about trading and the flow of the orders and the drivers of the market. [29:14] Question number seven is what does it take to be successful. In real estate, you need to separate the underlying expenses and cash flow. [31:00] Question eight is think about who's getting a cut of the return. A lot of the return can go to taxes. Recognize taxes and fees. Having to pay taxes does mean you've been a successful investor. [32:22] Question nine is how does it impact your portfolio. This comes down to asset allocation. Think of it as a flower garden that you want to diversify. You don't optimize your garden, you diversify it. [35:33] Question 10 is should you invest. [37:24] Answering these questions will help you form an investing discipline. [37:34] David's book was endorsed by Annie Duke. We shouldn't beat ourselves up for the outcome of our decisions. [38:15] Professionals have a framework or checklist to guide them. [39:45] Thrift Savings Plans have the G fund which is a government bond fund. It has a higher yield than many bond funds. The price won't fall as interest rates rise. [40:42] You could invest in a TSP and then put your taxable money into an ETF or Index Fund. [41:37] Portfolios don't have to be complicated. Investing can be as simple as owning two or three funds. [45:54] Start small with investing and about investing. You'll always be learning more. Set the discipline to start saving. Try to allocate 15 to 20% to savings.

To learn more, visit: WomenBuildingWealth.net. Worst investment ever David’s worst investment occurred during the transition period after he had quit the investment business and was trying to decide what he wanted to do in “retirement”. He had set up then shut down a few websites and had reached the point where he thought that even though he had retired, he could be a trader. He was experienced. At his prior firm, he was joint chief of investment researchers and money managers and trading was just part of what he and his team did, which included hedge funds and private equity. As his group’s head strategist, he would go to New York once a year and meet hedge fund managers, because he liked to see what they were thinking, to learn from their successes and mistakes and to see their take on the world. Visit to hedge fund piques interest in trading About a year or before he retired, he went to a commodities trading hedge housed in a Connecticut mansion. He met the founder and went to the trading floor. It grabbed his attention immediately. The floor was separated, with quantitative traders on one side and discretionary traders on the other. He said you could tell where the quants sat and where the discretionary traders say because the latter were messier and their desks less organized, but it looked like a fun and cool place to work. Then once he saw them at their desks trading, David got the idea that trading wasn’t that hard as he had had 15 years of investment experience. Trading turns out to be a lot harder than he had thought So a year after he quit his job, he decided to be a trader in commodity futures, currencies, options just to see how it would go. He knew enough to know that he would not be risking all his money into it, because he had known many people who had suffered huge losses in trading commodities. But he thought with his experience that he knew enough. He had economic models to use, and other investing tools, so he started trading and quite quickly found that it was not nearly as easy as he had suspected it would be. Some of the trades went well, and some didn’t. The problem he found mainly with commodities and foreign exchange (Forex), gold, silver, and other precious metals was the volatility. They trade almost 24 hours a day but it is extremely volatile, and there is no rhyme nor reason for that the volatility. Decides to stop trading but forgets to close one trade So he realized that there were things happening that were not at all like the investing he was used to. He had done fine, if fine is losing a little bit of money, but nevertheless he decided to stop trading. What he forgot was that he still had one trade in silver left open. It was a stop-buy order set up so that when silver fell to a certain price, the system would buy an open contract on silver that would go long on silver. He had neglected to close the position, so the trade went as intended: silver fell to the resistance point and the system trading bought him silver (set up to bet that silver would increase in value), but then silver kept falling. Before he realized what had happened, he had lost around US$25,000 in this particular silver contract. Good decisions are so due to processes not outcomes At this point in his story, David is reminded of Annie Duke, who in her book, Thinking in Bets, makes a distinction between decision outcomes and decision processes. A good decision, certainly a good investment decision, doesn’t happen because it has a good outcome, a good decision is the result of a good process, he related, para-phrasing Duke’s argument. He had not had a good process for buying commodity futures and trading because he didn’t understand what the market was like. He thought he knew enough about investing, how commodities work and economic trends, but he admits that he really didn’t. ‘You must know who’s buying or selling and the volume’ He also recalled a professional trader telling him that no one can successfully invest unless they have “border-flow information”. In other words, that the investor knows who’s buying, who’s selling, and how much they’re buying. Even today, the other thing one must ask when they invest: “Who’s on the other side of the trade?” “Who am I trading with?” Benjamin Graham wrote in his classic, The Intelligent Investor, that he was trading with individuals, and that most individual stocks were held by individuals, and so he could get some type of informational insight. In David’s commodities trading career, he said, he was up against institutions, and mostly quantitative “bots”, algorithms that can act very quickly. Sting comes from the fact he should have known better David also recalls a quote from The Wall Street Journal that if a hedge fund that trades in commodities thinks that their competitive edge is that they have a network of people who know what’s going on in terms of order flow, it’s a bit like saying you can deliver a package faster than Amazon. Like maybe you could at one point, but now you’re competing against robots, which excel extremely well in an environment in which there is no rhyme or reason to why things are moving. That’s what David learned. He came out of trading a little wiser, and kept his remaining $25,000. The sting certainly came from losing the money, but in some ways knowing that he should have known better stung more. “(US$25,000) That’s not a huge loss, but it stung because of how I lost it. Annie Duke in her book, Thinking in Bets, distinguishes … a good investment decision isn’t so because it has a good outcome, a good decision is the result of a good process. And I did not have a good process for buying commodity futures and trading because I didn’t understand what the market was like.” David Stein Some lessons No one should be trading commodity futures or Forex Such instruments are speculative - a speculation is when there is disagreement on whether the return will be positive or negative. Individuals should rather be focused on investing Investing has a positive expected return, with usually some income component or earnings component. The key is to focus on investing. It’s fine to have some diversification and speculative forays for hedging. But if individuals bet their retirement on trading, that’s insane, because it is purely speculative, and that means you have to get everything precisely right to make money. Andrew’s takeaways What do you know that the market doesn’t know? Investors in individual stocks must ask themselves that crucial question. Most of the time, the answer is going to be: “Nothing!” It is insufficient to find a company or idea that you like; what is required is to find a company or an idea that you like that the market has failed to notice. Investing in commodities or Forex is extremely risky Such investing is tantamount to a bet against the balance sheet of the banks, a bet against the whims of politicians, and a bet against a central bank’s balance sheets. These factors are overpowering and can shift the market in a minute, which is frightening. When investing in forex, and something, you are definitely mean it, the Fed decides to do something, is there’s nothing you can do but respond to it. And that response may be that it crushes your portfolio. So is there anything you’d add to my takeaways from that? Actionable advice Don’t be a trader But if you do, start off with a very small amount of money, and be prepared to lose it all, because trading is speculation. Use shadow portfolios, don’t risk real money Make sure you understand how it all works. Remember this too: If a person has or is a successful trader, they will not be teaching in a trading academy … they’ll either be working for hedge funds or they’re already retired and living on the beach somewhere. If someone is teaching other people how to trade, they are making their money teaching other people how to trade, they’re not making their money trading. No. 1 goal for next the 12 months To sell enough books so he gets to write another one He enjoyed the writing process of taking five years of podcast episodes and distilling them into the best 60,000 words. McGraw Hill has given him an advance and he wants to go out to sell enough books that he can earn back his advance and do it again because it was fun to do.

Today's guest, joining us today on the Join Up Dots entrepreneur podcast interview is the host of Money For the Rest of Us, one of the most downloaded podcasts for Investing in the world with over 6 million downloads. As he says “I help investors have enough to retire. Managing your own investments can be isolating at times. No one to talk shop with. Cheer you on. Reaffirm you're doing the right thing. Help you not to overreact to the latest financial headlines. While I've managed billions of dollars professionally for institutional clients and co-led a large investment research team, I don't do that anymore. Now my biggest financial challenge is the same as yours: making sure I have enough money to retire and that those resources last. Here's the thing. We are better investors when we have a sounding board— a community to share what we're thinking, what we're learning, the mistakes we make, and what we're doing with our investments. Money For the Rest of Us is for people like you and me who aren't relying on someone else to make sure we have enough to retire. We've taken control of our financial future. But just because you choose to manage your own investment portfolio doesn't mean you have to do it alone. Let's take this financial journey together.” Prior to launching his podcast, he was Chief Investment Strategist and Chief Portfolio Strategist at Fund Evaluation Group, LLC, a $33 billion investment advisory firm, where he co-headed the 21-person research group. He also co-founded the firm's $2.2 billion asset management division where he developed its investment philosophy and process and was the lead portfolio manager.

Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only David Stein Show Highlights During the entrepreneur podcast show we had deep hitting conversations with David Stein around subjects such as: David shares how it took him a few years to find his place in the online world after leaving his home job, and the steps he took to get there. Why David feels that batching his work is not the fit that suits him, although I think it is amazing and should be done at all costs. And lastly…….. We discuss how any coach that is worth their weight in gold should be more focused on teaching more and more to their clients, in effect teaching themselves in the progress.

#212 How a complex global trade system has reduced poverty, raised incomes, increased productivity, and lowered prices while a trade war will reverse those trends. You can find show notes and links here. Thanks to Blooom and Wunder Capital for sponsoring this episode.Episode SummaryPresident Trump recently unveiled new tariffs on trade with China, and many fear this decision could lead to a trade war. This 25% tariff on $34 billion worth of Chinese imports into the U.S. and an additional $216 billion of announced tariffs will change the trade landscape in the coming months. On this episode of Money For the Rest of Us, David explains why trade wars tend to increase the prices of goods and the poverty rate. He discusses the consequences attached to global trade tariff decisions and outlines why healthy global trade is successful in reducing poverty. To hear informed information about the complexities of tariffs and global trade, be sure to give this episode your full attention.Why does the US run such a large trade deficit with China? In 2017, China exported over $500 billion worth of goods to the US. In that same year, the US exported $130 billion to China, resulting in a trade deficit of $375 billion. Why is this figure so high? There are three main reasons why the US has such a large trade deficit with China:China has a lower standard of living and pays workers lower wagesTechnology and the internet has reduced the risk to US businesses when importing from ChinaAt times, the Chinese yuan is too weak relative to the US dollarHealthy global trade reduces poverty - here’s whyCountless economists and writers have examined why healthy global trade reduces poverty. In 1981, the percentage of the world’s population living in extreme poverty was holding at 42%. Since then, the number of people living at that level of income has fallen by 1 billion. And in 2013, the most accurate data puts the world’s population living in extreme poverty was 10%. This figure has fallen so dramatically because of trade, specifically because China has significantly ramped up its manufacturing capabilities and exports, increasing household income through higher wages.From 1820 to 1920, in Great Britain the percentage of the population in extreme poverty fell from 40% down to 10% from the 1820s to 1920s. From 1870 to 1970, Japan did the same - taking their poverty population from 80% down to nearly 0%. China is on course to reduce extreme poverty even faster. To hear more about the relationship between poverty and trade, don’t miss this episode of Money For the Rest of Us.Global tariffs can lead to unintended consequencesTrends show that both the US and China are wealthier because of trade. However, trade wars have the power to reverse those trends and increase the level of global poverty once more. There are 2 types of unintended consequences: those that are positive and natural, and those that are negative and disruptive. Positive consequences include developing powerful and beneficial global relationships between countries producing various goods. However negative consequences could destroy a complicated global supply network that has been slowly built, year by year, into the powerhouse that it is today.Companies and industries are adaptable when tariffs are imposed. However, there’s only so much flexibility a company can handle before having to make sacrifices. Moving production facilities, cutting wages, or increasing prices when faced with steep tariffs. These consequences should never be overlooked when considering new tariff plans and laws.Trade wars aren’t the solution to unfair trade practices - but THIS is Trade wars caused by broad based tariffs are not the solution to unfair trade practices. In order to remain globally competitive and productive, US companies need trade deals that recognize the strength that comes from global operations and supply chains. Trade wars are a complex subject, and this need-to-know info is best understood by listening to this podcast episode. Check it out! Episode Chronology[0:42] The Trump administration's recent tariffs could lead to a trade war, increasing prices and poverty[2:24] Why does the US run such a huge trade deficit with China?[6:47] Historical data on tariff rates across the decades[8:38] Trade reduces poverty - here’s why![11:12] Measuring the wealth of a nation is important in the trade wars discussion[15:51] Reducing trade deficits cannot be solved through trade wars[19:08] There are 2 types of unintended consequences[23:30] Companies will adapt to trade tariffs, no matter the circumstances [28:24] Broad-brush trade barriers don’t work![33:40] So what is the solution to unfair trade practice?

#211 Why housing bubbles can last such a long time and what to do if you really want or need to buy a house in a frothy market. More information, including show notes, can be found here.Episode SummaryNavigating a housing bubble is often on everyone’s minds. With changing family needs, balancing multiple incomes, and varying environmental factors, finding a great house is a struggle most families face. On this episode of Money For the Rest of Us, David responds to a listener’s question of how to navigate a housing bubble. He explains the idea of “economic gravity,” outlines factors that are influencing the global housing market, and offers solutions to the housing bubble crisis.A housing bubble cannot break free from economic gravityDavid discusses the idea of “economic gravity” on this episode. Simply, over the long-term housing prices can't be disconnected from the ability of households to service a level of mortgage debt - to successfully make those payments every month. Nobel prize-winning economist Milton Friedman explains, “When (corporate) earnings are exceptionally high, they don’t just keep booming - they can’t break loose from economic gravity.” The same concept applies to home prices. When prices are high, they can boom for an exceptionally long time. But they cannot break free from this underlying economic concept.Factors that are driving up the global housing marketHousing bubbles are being created across the globe because of a few major factors. Low interest rates, offshore demand for domestic property, influxes in immigration, and interest only loans are all contributing factors to the housing bubble discussed in this episode of Money for the Rest of Us. David draws many parallels between the US housing market and those in Australia and Canada.Housing markets don’t always align with growing family needsJoe, the Money For the Rest of Us listener that submitted the question for this episode, is seeking different housing for his family as it grows and shifts. But he’s finding that unfortunately, housing markets don’t always align with growing family needs. Better school districts, larger homes, easier commutes, etc. are all factors that millions of Americans are seeking for their prospective homes. David encourages listeners to consider what type of housing their family can reasonably afford and still maintain the type of lifestyle they desire. You never want to purchase a house that you cannot comfortably afford. To hear more about the housing market in the US today, data on current housing prices across the country, and even more great information, don’t miss this episode.3 ways you can respond to rising house pricesAfter considering all the data related to the housing bubble and overall market in your area, you essentially have 3 options:You can stay putYou can move to a cheaper localeYou can buy, while being patient and prudentIn order to make the most of the housing opportunities for your family, David encourages every listener to consider their personal affordability and examine their ability to handle unforeseen financial stress (loss of a job, medical emergencies, etc.) Navigating a housing bubble is challenging, but this episode of Money For the Rest of Us can help you make sense of all the angles.

Faith: Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Church: And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. Jesus told Peter upon this rock I build my church. Not the church of man but the church of God. Money: For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
