What is the "holiday season", really? Savvy marketers have inserted gingerbread lattes, blow up lawn decor, and lots of gifts as synonymous with December. But we aren't in some made-up season of buying; instead, we are approaching the Winter Solstice. And when nature is our guide, living seasonally is less about shopping hauls and more about existing in pace with the changing seasons. In a world where we can buy just about anything, it takes intention to live in alignment with nature. On today's show Bailey Van Tassel offers suggestions for weaving what's outside your front door — not what's in Target! — into your seasonal celebrations. Here's a preview: [11:00] Transitioning from commercialized seasonal living to interacting with nature at your feet [15:00] The ways in which nature's pace complements modern life (if, of course, we allow it) [19:30] Minimalists, unite!

Have you ever felt like you're running on empty, despite doing everything “right”? The emails, the deadlines, the never-ending to-do lists—it's like no matter how much you hustle, there's always something more demanding your attention. In a world where the hustle is glorified, burnout has become an all-too-common companion, leaving us drained, unfulfilled, and wondering if there's a better way.The truth is, we're living in a time where technology keeps us connected 24/7, and the lines between work and rest are blurrier than ever. We're constantly bombarded with notifications, expectations, and the pressure to keep up, leading to a lifestyle that's out of sync with our natural rhythms. We push through our days with little regard for balance, often at the cost of our wellbeing. It's no wonder burnout is so prevalent when we're caught in a cycle of overwork and overstimulation, with little time to truly recharge.But what if there's a different way? A way to slow down, reconnect with ourselves, and live in harmony with the world around us? Enter living seasonally. When we align our lives with the natural cycles of the seasons, we can create a lifestyle that not only supports our wellbeing but also helps prevent burnout. We live in a world that's always on, where speed and productivity are praised above all else, it's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of doing more, being more, and achieving more. But here's the thing: life wasn't meant to be lived in overdrive. When we push ourselves to keep up with the demands of modern life, we end up sacrificing the very things that make life meaningful — our health, our relationships, and our peace of mind.This is where seasonal living steps in like a breath of fresh air. It's an invitation to slow down and align our lives with the natural rhythms of the world around us. Instead of pushing through every day with the same intensity, seasonal living encourages us to embrace the different energies each season brings. Think of it as nature's way of reminding us that there's a time for everything — a time to grow, a time to rest, a time to reflect, and a time to celebrate.Is that beautiful?By living seasonally, we start to tune into these rhythms and allow ourselves to flow with them. In the warmth of summer, we might feel energised and social, ready to take on new projects and connect with others. But as autumn approaches, we're naturally drawn to slow down, to reflect on what we've accomplished, and to prepare for the quieter, more introspective days of winter. This ebb and flow creates a more balanced approach to life that's rooted in intention and mindfulness, helping us avoid burnout by honouring our need for rest just as much as our desire for achievement.I just love this.I have worked for myself for almost 20 years in some capacity, and the world of entrepreneurship is riddled with everything I hate. Hustle, constant go, go, go and the drive for doing more, being more and doing it better than before.I love the freedom it gives me but I have had to find a way to make it work for me. One that aligns with the ebb and flow of the seasons, that allows me to work and be creative while also being able to switch off where necessary. One that allows me to pursue my creative endeavours but doesn't encroach on my family time. A way of living, working and being that means I can balance things and not burn out.When you're burnt out it means that the balance is wrong. That something is off. That your alignment isn't currently working for you.Seasonal living isn't just about changing what we do; it's about changing how we do it. It encourages us to be more intentional with our time, to savour the present moment, and to appreciate the unique beauty each season brings. When we live this way, we find a counterbalance to the relentless demands of modern life — a slower, more intentional pace that nurtures our wellbeing and reminds us that it's okay to step back, breathe, and simply be.Let's slow down and journey together through the seasons with simplicity and mindfulness. Subscribe for simple musings directly to your inbox.So, what is burnout?Burnout isn't just about feeling tired after a long week; it's a deep, overwhelming sense of exhaustion that seeps into every corner of your life. It's that point where your mental, emotional, and physical reserves are completely drained, and even the smallest tasks feel like mountains. When you're burned out, it's not just your body that's exhausted. Your mind is foggy, your emotions are frayed, and you can't shake that feeling of being stuck in a never-ending loop of stress.So, what leads to this kind of burnout? It's not just one thing. It's the cumulative effect of chronic stress, the kind that comes from constantly being on the go, trying to meet deadlines, juggle responsibilities, and keep up with the demands of work and life. When you're always in “go” mode, without taking the time to recharge, that stress builds up and starts to wear you down. Overwork is another big culprit when it comes to burnout. When your to-do list is never-ending, and you're pushing yourself beyond your limits, burnout is practically inevitable. And let's not forget the lack of work-life balance. When work bleeds into every aspect of your life, leaving little room for rest, creativity, or connection, it's a recipe for burnout.The impact of burnout is profound. It doesn't just affect how you feel day-to-day; it can seriously undermine your overall wellbeing. Your energy levels plummet, making it hard to focus or stay motivated. Your relationships can suffer because you're too drained to be present with the people you care about. Productivity? That takes a nosedive too, as the constant fatigue and stress make it difficult to perform at your best. Burnout can leave you feeling disconnected from your work, your loved ones, and even yourself, making it all the more important to recognise the signs early and take steps to restore balance in your life.How can living seasonally combat burnout?Living seasonally is all about tuning into the rhythms that nature has set for us. Just like the earth goes through cycles of activity and rest, we're meant to as well. I say it often, but living seasonally is tuning into the most natural way of living and being. It is connecting with the way you were supposed to live and brings you back to your roots. In our fast-paced world, it's easy to forget all that. Seasonal living reminds us to slow down and embrace these natural cycles. Take winter, for example: nature uses this time to rest and recharge, and we should too. It's a season for reflection, for cosying up, and for giving ourselves permission to take it easy. On the flip side, summer is all about energy and growth. It's the time to dive into new projects, soak up the sunshine, and connect with others. When we align our lives with these natural rhythms, we allow ourselves the rest we need, so when it's time to be active, we're ready to go with renewed energy.Why being Mindful works:One of the beautiful things about living seasonally is that it brings us back to the present moment. In the rush of daily life, it's easy to miss the simple joys: the taste of fresh strawberries in the summer, the crunch of leaves underfoot in the autumn, and the beauty of the night sky in the winter. Seasonal living encourages us to slow down and really savour these moments. These small, mindful practices help us stay connected to the world around us and grounded in the here and now, which is a powerful antidote to the constant noise and distraction that often lead to burnout.How can you start reducing overwhelm?Another way seasonal living combats burnout is by helping us reduce that overwhelming feeling of having too much on our plates. Instead of trying to do everything all the time, seasonal living encourages us to focus on what matters most in each season. It's about setting intentions and goals that align with the energy of the season. It is taking one step at. atime.In the spring, you might want to focus on new beginnings and planting seeds, both literally and figuratively. Come autumn, it's time to harvest what you've sown, both in your garden and in your life. By prioritising what's important for each season, we can simplify our routines and avoid the burnout that comes from trying to do it all, all year long.We cannot live at the same pace all year round. We cannot live like it's an eternal summer.Let's slow down and journey together through the seasons with simplicity and mindfulness. Subscribe for simple musings directly to your inbox.And what about self care?I know we've all heard it a zillion times: Self care isn't selfish. It's true, it isn't. Seasonal living naturally lends itself to self-care. Each season offers unique opportunities to nurture ourselves in ways that feel good and restorative. In winter, it might be about creating a cosy, nurturing environment.Spring invites us to get outside, move our bodies, and breathe in the fresh air. Summer's longer days encourage us to soak up the sun and enjoy the vibrant energy around us. While autumn calls for reflection and preparing for the quieter months ahead. When we adjust our self-care practices to align with the seasons, we ensure that we're taking care of ourselves in ways that feel natural and sustainable, making it easier to keep burnout at bay.Living seasonally isn't just a lifestyle choice; it's a powerful tool to help us combat burnout and find balance in a world that often feels out of sync. When we embrace the natural rhythms of the seasons, we create space for rest and reflection, allowing ourselves to recharge so we can show up fully when it's time to take action. Seasonal living invites us to be more mindful, to savour the present moment, and to prioritise what truly matters in each season of our lives. It encourages self-care that aligns with the energy of the time, ensuring that we're nurturing ourselves in ways that feel natural and sustainable.If you're feeling the weight of burnout or just looking for a way to slow down and reconnect, I encourage you to start exploring seasonal living. I've put together a free downloadable guide to help you get started, with tips and ideas for aligning your life with the seasons. Trust me, it's the gentle shift you didn't know you needed.

In this week's episode, I'm diving into what I'm Reading, Eating, Playing, Obsessing Over, Recommending, and Treating myself to lately. I also break down a recent post from @thecut, titled "How to Stay Hot," which covers how much women are investing in skincare, beauty treatments, and the high cost of maintaining that glow. Plus, I can't help but indulge in some nostalgia for back-to-school supplies shopping, new clothes, and the magic of Scholastic book fairs. To wrap up, I answer a few listener questions that you won't want to miss!Q: Any recommendations on iron supplements? I struggle to know what is worth it to invest in and not filled with crap. On that note, what's your thoughts on pre and probiotics?Q: Do you eat seasonally? Q: Hubs and I eat out 1 day every Weekend. I want to do a fat loss phase, impossible?Q: Intensity. Everyone asks, “are you pushing hard enough?” I think so. Maybe. I don't know. What does that look/feel like? In a movement, It think “holy fuck this is too hard.” Then I'm done and I think, “I could've done more.” More reps, more weight…maybe. I don't know.Q: Why does losing water weight happen initially every time I start tracking and cutting?Follow me on Substack: Alicia's SubstackFollow me on Instagram: @aliciamayconnorsApply to work with me: 1-1 Health Coaching applicationSend me an email!: info@wellnesswithalicia.com

We are so used to having any type of food we want in any season right at our finger tips. We don't think twice about what to get at the store or when to get it because whatever we need is always there.

Our US Public Policy and Global Commodities strategists discuss how the outcome of the election could affect energy markets in the US and around the world.----- Transcript -----Ariana Salvatore: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Ariana Salvatore, Morgan Stanley's US public policy strategist.Martijn Rats: And I'm Martijn Rats, Global Commodity Strategist.Ariana Salvatore: Today we'll be talking about a topic that's coming into sharper focus this fall. How will the US presidential election shape energy policy and global energy markets?It's Thursday, September 5th at 10am in New York.Martijn Rats: And 3pm in London.Ariana Salvatore: As we enter the final leg of the US presidential campaign, Harris and Trump are getting ready to go head-to-head on a number of key topics. Healthcare, housing, the state of the economy, foreign policy; and also high on the agenda -- energy policy.So, Martijn, let's set the stage here. Prices at the gas pump in the US have been falling over recent weeks, which is atypical in the summer. What's happening in energy markets right now? And what's your expectation for the rest of the year?Martijn Rats: Yeah, it's a relevant question. Oil prices have been quite volatile recently. I would say that objectively, if you look at the market for crude oil, the crude oil market is tight right now. We can see that in inventories, for example, they are buying large drawing, which tell[s] you, the demand is outstripping supply.But there are two things to say about the tightness in the crude oil market. First of all, we're not quite seeing that tightness merit in the markets for refined products. So, get the market for gasoline, the market for diesel, et cetera. At the moment, the global refining system is running quite hard.But they're also producing a lot of refined product. A lot of gasoline, a lot of diesel. They're pushing that to their customers. Demand is absorbing that, but not quite in a convincing manner. And you can see that in refining margins. They have been steadily trending down all summer.The second thing to say about the tightness and crude is that it's largely driven by a set of factors that will likely to be somewhat temporary. Seasonally demand is at its strongest -- that helps. The OPEC deal is still in place. And as far as we can see in high frequency data, OPEC is still constraining production.And then thirdly, production has been growing in a number of non-OPEC countries. But that absent flows and the last couple of months have seen somewhat of a flat spot in non-OPEC supply growth.Now, those factors have created the tightness that we're seeing currently in the third quarter. But if you start to think about the oil market rolling into the fourth quarter and eventually 2025, a lot of these things going to reverse. The seasonal demand tailwinds that we are currently enjoying; they turn into seasonal demand headwinds in four q[uarter]and one q[uarter] -- seasonally weaker quarters of the year. Non-OPEC production will likely resume its upward trajectory based on the modeling of projects that we've done. That seems likely. And then OPEC has also said that they will start growing production again with the start of the fourth quarter.Now, when you put that all together, the market is in deficit now. It will return to a broadly balanced state in the fourth quarter, but then into a surplus in 2025. Prices look a little into the future. They discount the future a little bitNow, as the US election approaches, investors are increasingly concerned how a Trump versus Harris win would affect energy policy and markets going forward. Ariana, how much and what kind of authority does the US president actually have in terms of energy policy? Can you run us through that?Ariana Salvatore: Presidential authorities with respect to energy policy are actually relatively limited. But they can be impactful at the margin over time. What we tend to see actually is that production and investment levels are reasonably insulated from federal politics.Only about 25 per cent of oil and 10 per cent of natural gas is produced on federal land and waters in the US. You also have this timing factor. So, a lot of these changes are really only incremental; and while they can affect levels at the margin, there's a lag between when that policy is announced and when it could actually flow through in terms of actual changes to supply levels. For example, when we think of things like permitting reform, deregulation and environmental review periods and leasing of federal lands, these are all policy options that do not have immediate impacts; and many times will span across different presidential administrations.So, you might expect that if a new president comes into office, he or she could reverse many of the executive actions taken by his or her predecessor with respect to this policy area.Martijn Rats: And what have Trump and Harris each said so far about energy policy?Ariana Salvatore: So, I would say this topic has been less prevalent in Harris's campaign, unless we're talking about it in the context of the energy transition overall. She hasn't laid out yet specific policy plans when it comes to energy; but we think it's safe to assume that you could see her maintain a lot of the Biden administration's clean energy goals and the continued rollout of bills like the Inflation Reduction Act, which contained a whole host of energy tax credits toward those ends.Now, conversely, Trump has focused on this a lot because he's been tying energy supply to inflation, making the case that we can lower inflation and everyday costs by drilling more. His policy platform, and that of the GOP has been to increase energy production across the board. Mainly done by streamlining, permitting and loosening restrictions on oil, natural gas, and coal.Now, to what I said before, some of that can be accomplished unilaterally through the executive branch. But other times it might require the consent of Congress, and consent from states -- because sometimes these permitting lines cross state borders.So, Martijn, from your side, how quickly can US policy, whether it's driven by Trump or Harris, affect energy markets and change production levels and therefore supply?Martijn Rats: Yeah, like you just outlined, the answer to that question is only gradually. Regulation is important, but economics are more important. If you roll the clock back to, say, early 2021, when President Biden has just took office; on day one, he famously canceled the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline.But if you now look back, at the last four years, start to finish; American oil production, grew more under Biden, than any other president in the history of the United States. With the exception of Obama, who, of course, enjoyed the start of the shale revolution.Production is close, to record levels, which were set just before COVID, of course. So, in the end, the measures that President Biden put in place, have had only a very limited impact on oil production. The impact that the American president can have is only -- it's only gradual.Ariana Salvatore: So, as we've mentioned, expanding energy development has been a massive plank of Trump's campaign platform. And listeners will also remember that during his term in office, he supported energy development on federal land. If Trump wins in November, what would it mean for oil supply and demand both in the US and globally?Martijn Rats: Admittedly, it's somewhat of a confusing picture. So, if you look at oil supply, you have to split it in perhaps a domestic impact and an international impact. Domestically, Donald Trump has famously said recently that he would return the oil industry to “Drill baby drill,” which is this, this shorthand metaphor for, abundant drilling in an effort to significantly accelerate oil production.But as just mentioned, there is little to be unleashed because during President Biden, the American oil industry hasn't really been constrained in the first place.A lot of American EMP companies are focused on capital discipline. They're focused on returns on free cashflow on shareholder distributions. With that come constraints to capital expenditure budgets that probably were not in place several years ago with those CapEx constraints, production can only grow so fast.That is a matter of shareholder preference. That is a matter of returns. And regulation can change that a little bit, but not so much.If you look at the perspective outside the United States, it is also worth mentioning that in the first Trump presidency, President Trump famously put secondary sanctions on the export of crude oil from Iran. At the time that significantly constrained crude oil supply from Iran, which in 2018 played a key role in driving oil prices higher.Now, it's an open question, whether that policy can be repeated. The flow of oil around the world has changed since then. Iranian oil isn't quite going to the same customers as it did back then. So, whether that policy can be replicated, remains to be seen. But whilst the domestic perspective -- i.e. an attempt to grow production -- could be interpreted as a potential bearish factor for the price of oil, the risk of sanctions outside the United States could be interpreted as a potential bullish risk for oil.And this is, I think, also why the oil market struggles to incorporate the risks around the presidential election so much. At the moment, we're simply confronted with a set of factors. Some of them bearish, some of them bullish, but it remains hard to see exactly which one of them played out. And, at the moment they don't have a particular skew in one direction.So, we're just confronted with options, but little direction.Ariana Salvatore: Makes sense. So, I think that makes this definitely a policy area that we'll be paying very close attention to this fall. I suppose we'll also both be tuning into the upcoming debate, where we might get a better sense of both sides policy plans. If we do learn anything that changes our views, we'll be sure to let you know.Martijn, thanks for taking the time to talkMartijn Rats: Great speaking with you, Ariana.Ariana Salvatore: And thanks for listening.

This bonus episode explores the ancestral harvest holidays, like Lammas and Lughnasadh, generally celebrated on August 1st, and marking the beginning of the harvest of storage crops and the subtle shift towards Fall. I muse on what the practice of these holidays, the themes and perspectives they invite, might have to show us about burnout. And I share some agricultural context for the season and some questions you might want to sit with to guide your decisions about how and where to dig deep and spend your energy in preparation for fallow cycles in your own life. Although most of the episode is geared towards the Northern Hemisphere, I offer some brief thoughts for those in the Southern Hemisphere, too. Did this illuminate anything for you? If so, feel free to share. With appreciation, Kate P.S.

The SA Municipal Workers' Union (Samwu) has reached a one-year pay deal for a 7% raise for workers in the water industry represented in the Amanzi Bargaining Council. The growth rate surpasses the inflation rate of 5.2% observed in April and May. The largest municipal union, Samwu, which represents more than 160,000 of the almost 300,000 municipal employees in the nation, and the water boards of South Africa have an agreement that will last from July 1 to June 30, 2025. Speaking about this arrangement with host Motheo Khoaripe is national media officer Papikie Mohale. The escalation of geopolitical risks brought about by the continuing conflicts, which started with Russia's invasion of Ukraine and proceeded with the outbreak of hostilities in the Middle East. Due to this, there is now a greater demand for gold, which is often regarded as a safe haven asset. The rush for protection, the increase in gold recycling, worries about inflation, and central bank purchases are additional motivators. Morningstar South Africa's Senior Investment Analyst Michael Kruger goes into further detail on this in a lengthy interview with host Motheo Khoaripe. In May 2024, mining production decreased. Seasonally adjusted mineral sales at current prices decreased by 8.0% from April 2024 to the same month in 2024. Nonetheless, sales did exhibit a noteworthy trend, increasing by 9.8% in May compared to April. Following monthly fluctuations of 8.9% in March and -0.2% in April, this occurred. Host Motheo Khoaripe chats with Sitef & Co. founder and director Mihlali Sitefane to provide more details. In South Africa, there have been several odd weather events in recent months. These have included tornadoes that are unique in the KwaZulu-Natal area of South Africa, floods in the Eastern Cape, and mid-latitude cyclones in the Western Cape. The increase in global temperature resulting from a rise in carbon emissions is one of the primary causes of climate change. 2024 is one of the two years in which temperatures have reached record highs. Lee-Anne Bac, Director, Tourism Specialist Unit, BDO South Africa, talks about the extent of the damage with host Motheo Khoaripe. Scientists have criticized the government's most recent census, arguing that it is so flawed that it cannot be relied upon to track the success of critical programs like children's vaccinations or to allocate cash and resources. Stats SA's projection of 62 million people for the 2022 census is exaggerated by one million, and there are similarly significant discrepancies at the district and municipal levels.

Plus, Carvana is now offering used EV tax credits at checkout and Google is making it easier to have advanced account protection.Show Notes with linksUsed-vehicle wholesale prices experienced a decline in June, continuing a downward trend observed over the past 22 months, according to Cox Automotive.Non-adjusted prices decreased 2.2% from May and were down 10% year-over-year.Retail sales disruptions from CDK outages impacted the market, but declines slowed to a normal pace by month-end.Seasonally adjusted prices were down YoY as well. Luxury vehicle prices dropped 9.9%, SUVs and crossovers 9.3%, Compacts 12%, Midsize 11%, pickups 8.3% and electric vehicles 17%.The availability of 3-year-old vehicles decreased due to fewer off-lease returns, affecting auction supply. Cox forecasts a 12% decrease in lease maturities in Q3, potentially dropping 17-18% in Q4."This is a pattern that is not going to go away for the next two years, and we'll likely be dealing with it through 2026," said Jeremy Robb, senior director of economics and industry insights at Cox Automotive Carvana is now offering up to $4,000 off at checkout for eligible used EVs and plug-in hybrids, advancing the federal tax incentive so customers can benefit immediately rather than waiting for tax refunds.Discounts are available on Carvana's app or website for vehicles with a green tax credit banner.Customers must file IRS Form 8936 and transfer the credit to Carvana when filing taxes.This comes as the House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee voted in favor of a bill that would undo federal EV tax credits, arguing they benefit Chinese companies.Google has simplified the process for securing high-risk accounts with its Advanced Protection Program. Now, users can enroll using just a passkey instead of the previously required two physical security keys.The program targets high-risk users like political campaign workers and journalists.Originally, two physical security keys were needed to activate and log in.Users can now set up the program with a single passkey using biometric authentication on Pixel or iPhone devices.Setup is streamlined: visit the Advanced Protection Program page, follow the steps, and choose a passkey or security key.Google also requires recovery methods such as a phone number and email address.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

Shoot us a Text.It's Thursday and we're talking about a McKinsey study showing many EV owners considering a return to combustion engines, a decline in used-vehicle wholesale prices, and Costco's plans for a technological transformation under new leadership.A McKinsey & Co. survey reveals that over 40% of U.S. EV owners are likely to switch back to combustion engine vehicles due to charging concerns.The study asked 200 questions to more than 30,000 consumers in 15 countries that comprise 80% of EV sales volume46% of U.S. EV owners and 29% globally are likely to revert to combustion engines.Inadequate public charging infrastructure, high ownership costs, and impacts on long-distance travel are top concerns.Philipp Kampshoff, the leader of McKinsey's Future Mobility division said, “I didnt expect that. I thought once an EV buyer, always an EV buyer.”Twenty-one percent of global respondents do not want to switch to an EV, with 33 percent citing charging concerns, exacerbated by rising range expectations from 270 miles in 2022 to 291.4 miles today.Cox Automotive reports a slight decline in used-vehicle wholesale prices in May, with significant yearly drops and varying impacts across vehicle segments.The Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index fell to 197.3 in May, down 0.6% from April and 12% from May 2023.On a non adjusted basis, prices declined 1.2% in May from April and were down 11% year over year with retail supply of used vehicles remains lower than last yearAverage non adjusted wholesale prices for 3-year-old vehicles decreased 2% over four weeks, including a 0.7% decline in the last week of May.Seasonally adjusted wholesale prices for luxury vehicles, SUVs/crossovers, compact vehicles, midsize vehicles, and pickups were down 11-17% year over year.Used EV values were down 16% year over year and declined 2.4% month over month in May.Costco is set to undergo significant changes as new leadership aims to enhance its technological infrastructure and e-commerce capabilities.New CEO Ron Vachris and CFO Gary Millerchip are focused on expanding Costco's digital presence and fulfillment offerings.Historically conservative with technology, Costco plans to improve its buy online, pick up in-store model, starting with electronics, and enhance member engagement through technology, with over 90% membership renewal rates globally.Vachris emphasizes evolutionary changes that maintain Costco's core values while adapting to the evolving retail landscape and leveraging data analytics to enhance member experiences and drive sales.Despite advancements, Costco reassures that the $1.50 hot dog and soda combo price will remain unchanged, and monthly sales reports will continue.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

Click here for Jenna's E-course: Setting-up Your Summer THE MOST unnecessary  killer of thriving habits: not editing your habits with season shifts. Our habits don't live alone- they're very interconnected.Therefore as our schedules  shift with a change of season (both calendar seasons & life transitions) it's vital to look at how these effect other habits too! Our anchor moments/cues for certain habits disappear or change with the seasons so if we don't intentionally edit them & pick new ones- we can accidentally kill a habit that was thriving in the past. Ask yourself: What thriving habits in my life need new "cues" for when to execute that habit b/c the original "when" disappeared from my schedule? No need to kill any thriving habit- just take some time to think of new ones that will work in this season. -----------If you found this episode, please share on your socials or with a friend. Sharing is caring. Thank you!! ✨

Panelists - Dave Chatterton, SFarmMarketing.com - Curt Kimmel, AgMarket.net - Wayne Nelson, L&M Commodities---TranscriptTodd Gleason 0:00This is the May 23 edition of Commodity Week. Todd Gleason Services are made available to while by University of Illinois Extension. Welcome to Commodity Week. I am Todd Gleason. Our panelists for the day include Curt Kimmel with AgMarket.net. Wayne Nelson joins us again from L and M Commodities. And we're also joined by Dave Chatterton at Strategic Farm Marketing. Commodity Week is a production of Illinois Public Media. It's public radio for the farming world, where you can listen to our podcasts any time you like including Commodity Week, the Closing Market Report and the Illinois Nutrient Loss Reduction podcast from our website at willag.org. Let's get a quick list of items that maybe we ought to take up for this Thursday afternoon as we're recording before Memorial Day weekend. Curt Kimmel, what's been on your mind? Curt Kimmel 0:57Well, the main thing is what do we do now? We've got the help we've wanted. And also to we were in this situation where we got a three day weekend and a full moon. Todd Gleason 1:09Dave Chatterton, the full moon returns. The last time you were here, we talked about full moon. I think it must have to do with you. Dave Chatterton 1:17Here we go. Yeah, but no, I mean, you know, look, we're into the situation now. We're marketing from a, let's say, percent sold perspective, Todd. I mean, you should be caught up to a comfortable level. The next step. Where do we go from here and what's going to go on? Seasonally? We've got a small window here where prices could continue to go higher, particularly for corn, maybe a little longer window on beans. But it's weather, weather, weather and the weather focus has been a little bit more outside of the US to this point. So the Black Sea region and the wheat crop in Russia and Ukraine and in South America, with the flooding in southern Brazil and the corn, you know, disease in Argentina. But now it's back to the US. We're in a situation where the plant planting is getting there. We can see over the horizon those producers are either very close to being done, maybe have a day or two left or actually done, and now it's about okay, how is this crop and develop. I would suspect when we come out in early June, we're going to have some pretty highly rated crops because of our moisture situation. And you know, where is this summer going to go and what does that mean for prices in terms of how you manage your risk on the farm? Todd Gleason 2:17And Wayne Nelson historical context or current things that you've been thinking about? Wayne Nelson 2:21Well, I think, you know, the one thing always that comes up is the weather. You know, we've got a couple of things going on. We see some delays because of some heavy rains. We looked around that way. But I think the weather, how it's been in Russia, in China, you know, even in the Ukraine and everything, we've got some other problems around the world that are really popping up and looking at this stuff. So and then I think the biggest thing that probably we've got to think about and look about now is what how many acres actually got planted when it's said and done, when the prices were down there and then when it rained and put people on a while, did they cut back a few acres or did they go ahead and plant full bore? Todd Gleason 2:57So I do want to talk about acreage and planted acreage. But in terms of at least something that maybe should be dismissed at this point, replant or acres that might be replant, because a lot of producers, many others will be thinking, hey, we're hearing about all this replant. Surely that means something. But it's a little here and a little there. Does it is it okay just just to dismiss that as a an issue, at least up until this point, unless we get a whole lot more rain next week? The following week as well, I'm going to say, yes, everybody agrees. So we'll move on from that. Now, what happens then if we do get slowed down next week, especially in Iowa and parts of the Western Corn Belt? Curt Kimmel 3:45Well, I go back to 93. The market really didn't care until the levees broke in July, down oh, Mississippi. Then the market took a attention to it. As of prior to this recording here a week ago, we had about 7 million acres in the east and 5 million acres in the west to be planted. Yep, the forecast can get a pretty good window here for the east to get caught up visit with guys in Iowa. You know, they're coming down to having to make a decision here because they're going to get another round of rain here. My question to the crop insurance guys here today is, okay, we get down to it. What's the guy's feelings? Prevent plant? There's not prevent plant. But that's mainly the Dakotas and they're pretty far along. But is it economical to take prevent plant these prices? Dave Chatterton 4:32Yeah, it's a very it's a very individual decision and I think in most cases what the first thing I would Duane's point, the first thing I would say is that traditional road crop producers and in the ice states are very low, they're very adverse to taking prevent plant. It has a number of different applications. It can affect your EPA, you can do different things. It's a number of different rules and pitfalls that you can follow. In terms of are you planning a cover crop and are you saying raising it? Is it going to be harvested for grain? And all these choices that go along with it doesn't mean you shouldn't consider it average prevent point. Right now for someone who's in an 80 to 85% R.P. crop insurance policy at a 466 frame price is probably 350 to $500 In most of the states, closer to that 500. So cash rents in those areas certainly will say north of 300. And, you know, maybe there's a little bit of meat on the bone there, but it's a last resort. Keep in mind that just because we get the last planning dates for corn in these areas that we're talking about typically are June the fifth, May, maybe the 31st out in parts of the Dakotas, but Illinois and Iowa, June 5th. Beyond that, you're losing 1% of your revenue guarantee per day for the next 25 days. So you can plant past that late period. But as you said, Kurt, it's a it's a tough decision. I think the other decision, as you know, is it's not just prevent plant or nothing. It's prevent plant or another crop prevent plant or a cover crop prevent plant or a crop that I might you know, I might lease the ground out. I might, you know, hay it and graze it. So a lot of lot going on there. Make sure you're comfortable with where you're at before you make that decision and talk with your agent. Todd Gleason 6:06I'll stay with you for just a moment because there will be this discussion related to the late planting of the acres that are still available to put in the ground. The decision to change acreage to, for instance, soybeans generally, we talk about it, Darryl Good would say not happening very often. What about this year? Dave Chatterton 6:29Yeah, it's not that common, particularly in our particular if the years that we're talking to an answer of central Illinois, central Indiana, we just don't see a lot of it. You know, nitrogen could be down, there could be, you know, things that prevent that from happening. That being said, if that's going to happen, we have the recipe for it to happen this year. But you're talking, in my opinion, anyway, about a swing factor of one or 2% and just not enough to move the needle and, you know, one or 2% in the areas that are where that may switch. In the overall big picture, you get that watered down to a point where I don't think it's a driving force in terms of h...

Hey Friend Eating seasonally refers to the practice of consuming foods that are naturally harvested and available during a specific time of the year. This approach involves aligning your diet with the natural growing cycles of various fruits, vegetables, and other food items. Eating seasonally means choosing foods that are harvested at their peak ripeness during a particular season. For example, enjoying watermelon and berries in the summer, or butternut squash and apples in the fall.   Seasonal eating often involves selecting foods that are locally grown and available in your region. This supports local farmers and reduces the environmental impact of transporting produce over long distances   Seasonal foods are picked at their prime, offering the best taste and nutritional value. Freshness and flavor are heightened when you consume foods during their natural season.   Seasonal produce tends to be more nutrient-dense because it is allowed to fully ripen before harvest. This means you get a higher concentration of vitamins and minerals in your meals.   Eating seasonally fosters a connection with the changing seasons and the natural rhythm of agricultural cycles. It encourages a sense of mindfulness about the origin and availability of your food   Here are some budget friendly tips to saving money on food. ~Purchase fruits and vegetables from local farmers' markets or directly from farmers. Local produce is often more affordable, and you support local businesses if you are not growing your own produce. ~Take advantage of bulk discounts when seasonal items are abundant. You can freeze or preserve extras for later use, ensuring you have affordable, fresh options year-round.  Since we moved last year, I had to buy more produce because I wasn't able to grow everything myself last year.  Actually, we just recently took our frozen tomatoes out of the freezer and made our spaghetti sauce.   ~Farmers' markets often offer competitive prices, and you might find unique, seasonal produce that's more affordable than in supermarkets ~If you have any CSA programs around you, they allow you to buy a share of a local farm's harvest. This not only supports farmers but also provides you with a regular supply of seasonal produce at a potentially lower cost, so this is a great option too if you don't grow your own food.   ~Tailor your meal plans based on what's in season. This helps you take advantage of lower prices for in-season items and avoids the expense of out-of-season produce.  We eat ALOT of zucchini in the summer……..zuchinni noodles, zucchini tots, fried zucchini, grilled zucchini and all kinds of great meals.   ~When seasonal fruits and veggies are abundant and less expensive, consider preserving or freezing them for later. This allows you to enjoy seasonal flavors throughout the year without paying a premium price. ~Prepare larger quantities of meals when seasonal ingredients are affordable, and freeze portions for later. This can save you money by avoiding last-minute, more expensive food choices By aligning your grocery shopping with the seasons and being mindful of where and how you purchase your food, you can savor the benefits of seasonal eating while keeping your budget in check Overall, eating seasonally is a holistic approach that considers the natural cycles of food production, supports local agriculture, and enhances the taste and nutritional quality of your meals. It's a wonderful way to enjoy a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle ~Monica Website: Claimingsimplicity.com Join our Community of Christian Moms -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/claimingsimplicity/ Email -> monica@claimingsimplicity.com Instagram -> https://www.instagram.com/claimingsimplicity/ Pinterest ->  https://www.pinterest.com/claimingsimplicity/

I'm your host, Keith Weinhold.    Would you rather be age 18 and poor or 80 and wealthy?   Learn about how a second mortgage could benefit you.   Historically, what REGIONS of the nation have the most stable and volatile real estate prices?    Then, there are two ominous threats to FUTURE property prices. All that and more, today, on Episode 444 of Get Rich Education.   Welcome to GRE! From Orange County, Florida to Orange County, CA and across 188 nations worldwide, I'm Keith Weinhold, this is Get Rich Education.   Last week marked 50 years since the first-ever cellphone call was placed. The call from the 2.5-pound brick-sized cellphone was placed in NYC - Manhattan.    That phone could NOT fit inside a standard pocket.    Sheesh! Look, I won't even use a case on my iPhone today because I'm concerned about the weight and friction and it would add!   I want it light and I want to be able to quickly slide it in & out of my pocket. Ha!   Well, I've got a more significant trade-off for you to consider.    Would you rather be age 18 and poor or age 80 and wealthy?    I think you and most everyone would rather be 18 years old and poor rather than 80 years old and wealthy.   I am pretty confident that you & I agree on that.   Well, if you'd rather be 18 and poor, then why would you go to a job to trade your time for dollars?   Because that's exactly how you move away from 18 and poor straight toward 80 & wealthier but probably 80 & still less than wealthy.   Why would you make that trade?   Even if you love your job - if it's not the activity you'd MOST want to be doing out of anything else in the wide spectrum of life, move away from 18 & poor?   Well, time is going to pass one way or the other, but you can win back your time & end up wealthy rather than “somewhat less than wealthy”...   …when you provide value for society by giving them housing, getting paid 5 ways at the same time, one of which includes a MOSTLY passive income stream, trading relatively little of your life time all the while. That's why we do here.   That way, you're not quite going to be 18 & wealthy, but wealthy when you're young enough to enjoy it.   Over the last three years, property prices are up 30 to 40% in a lot of markets.   We're going to look at the current & future direction of real estate prices in a moment.    But let's talk about what you can do with this… what you can do with that dead equity in your properties.   America has near record-high equity levels right now so this is really timely here.   But there's a bit of a problem with tapping your equity today. Before I get into that, just a recap minute here…   Of course, as any longtime listener knows, since the rate of return from home equity is always zero, you have a chance to harvest your equity.   Having, even an extra $1,000 of equity in any property, including your own home, is like making an extra principal payment of $1,000.   Doing that is like you saying, “Hey, Mr. Banker. Here's an extra $1,000 principal payment. Don't pay me any interest on it. If I need it back, I'll pay you fees, and I'll try to prove to you that I qualify again.”   That's the short story on why home equity is unsafe, Illiquid, and its ROI is Zero.   OK, but if you have a mortgage loan that's set at just 3 or 4% interest, are you really going to refinance that whole loan just to pull some money out - just to convert some equity to cash?   Because if you did, your mortgage rate could go up to 6 or 7%. So accessing equity isn't as great as it used to be.   Ah, but there's a way around this.   One your, say, property at, say, Huckleberry Lane, you could keep your existing mortgage in-place at that low 3% or 4% rate, and potentially add a second mortgage onto Huckleberry Lane - and only that second mortgage is at the higher rate. The first loan stays in place and so does its amortization schedule.   Now, if your Huckleberry Lane property is worth $500K, you can often have 80% of that, or $400K borrowed, that's that 80% combined-loan-to-value ratio.   That means that the amount of cash that you can get your hands on is $400K minus your mortgage balance.    That's why a lot of property owners are able to access, often, $100K or more cash, without touching their low first mortgage at all.   Get $100K cash out - or whatever you have access to - it's not providing you with any rate of return anyway.   Though you can often borrow out up to 80% of your primary residence's property value, the deal isn't as good as far as getting second mortgages on your rental property.   Second mortgages on a rental are, sometimes available, sometimes not. When they are, it's recently been just up to 70% that you can borrow out.   Now, as good as this might sound, it doesn't mean that you SHOULD do it. What are the risks with taking a second mortgage on your home or rental properties?   Well, some second mortgages take the form of a Home Equity Line of Credit - or HELOC.    The interest rate on your HELOC can fluctuate, so there's interest rate risk. Most HELOCs have a fixed rate period for the first 5 or more years though.   Before I talk more about the risk of a second mortgage, it's just amazing - the number of people that I run into out there - most of them aren't REIs - but homeowners that are elated that they got a low mortgage rate 2, 3 years ago (and they should be - congratulations)... but they want to tap their bloated home equity and don't know about adding a second mortgage.   Now, a risk with a second mortgage is the potential pitfall of borrowing short to go long, meaning your HELOC rate resets in a little as five years - it could go down when it resets and it goes up, and at that time, you're not liquid enough to deal with the second mortgages higher payments. Now, I know, it's exciting about getting into more income property, using dead equity from your own home or your own rentals - because it's “Real Estate Pays 5 Ways” stuff.   You might tell yourself, that when you add up a 5 rates of return from investment property - appreciation, cash flow, amortization, tax benefits and inflation-profiting, that you can surely see a total rate of return on your new rentals of 20% or 30% or more.    So if your second mortgage has an interest rate of 7 or 8%, you'd do that deal and pocket the spread.   Yes, it sure might work out that way, in fact, there's even a probability that it could work out that way.   But the risk is that you've got to stay liquid enough to service the debt if your second mortgage rate rises or any other reason.   And you might be just fine. You might have enough cash flow or cash stored that you're padded, you're fine… and your underwriter might help you look at that during your second mortgage qualification.   You might ask Ridge Lending Group or your favorite lender about second mortgage options.   So, now you know. A second mortgage can keep up your velocity of money. There are benefits and there are risks.   Utilizing it successfully looks something like this.   You start off with 50% equity in one property, which is 2:1 leverage, you move some of that into a second property.    Now you've got 25% equity in both.   You've done MORE than double your wealth-amplifying ability here. You've virtually 4Xed.   Because rather than having 2:1 leverage in one property, you've got 4:1 leverage in two properties.   That's how wealth is BUILT.   Let's talk about those ERSTWHILE home prices.   There are at least two ominous threats to future home prices. And now that it's Spring and market activity picks up, what's the CURRENT direction of home prices?    Real estate can move slower than glaciers, so March numbers are still scarce.   Home prices in the resale market - alright, that means existing homes, not new-build - those resale prices have stayed remarkably resilient, even when mortgage rates jumped up back in February.   John Burns REC compiles a chart for the latest survey of resale agents. The question that was asked is: “What direction have resale home prices moved in the last month?”    The national survey respondents can pick that prices are either MOST INCREASING, MOSTLY DECREASING, or MOSTLY FLAT.   This February, for the first time since May of 2022, more said that home prices are "mostly increasing" rather than "mostly decreasing":   Note though, that most of the agents in the latest survey show that prices are merely steady at 51%. 26% said “increasing” and 23% decreasing.   Credit to JBREC. This is a national survey of ~2,600 resale agents.    Now just from this chart and THESE stats, note something interesting. October 2022—appears to be housing's low point. That was then, six months ago—marking housing's recent low point.   So, that's a different angle on looking at home prices than usual - asking agents what they're seeing.   National existing home prices, per the FRED stats, month-over-month are up just a little, from about $361K to $363K. Again, that's through February.   Seasonally, that could go up more. That typically happens each year when spring transitions to summer.   There's a good chance that national homes prices will be rising these next few months.   If you think that those prices sound a little low, be mindful, this entire discussion, so far, is about EXISTING homes aka resale homes, which tend to be priced lower than new construction homes.    If you combine both existing & new, same source, $468,000 is the national median home price. That was the same quarter-over-quarter. Same source too.   It's always important to cite the source when it comes to statistics.   You know, some say the 1990s are when America moved into the Information Age. But, at some point, in the 2010s, did we move into the DisInformation Age?   I don't know. There's a lot of both out there - a plethora, a profusion of both information and disinformation.   Some of these niche finance social media pages don't cite their sources, and more often than not, I don't follow them or I unfollow them if I find that they regularly don't cite source.   The other type of story that I unfollow or just stay away from, are article headlines or images with the word “Rumor” in it.   I don't want to follow Rumors. Now, I guess, in the best case, a rumor could turn out to be true and maybe could give you a heads up on something that actually turns out to come true later.   But, the world is full of real information. I don't want to spend this one finite life I have on earth catching up on rumors. It's more sports sites that use that word rather than finance sites.   Rumor is just an annoying word, I guess. It's a synonym for “gossip”.   Hey, the real estate investing and personal finance world has its own quirks and odd spins on words.   One thing I haven't been able to figure out is how a guru is bad and an obsession is good.   Some people disparage thought leaders and influencers as gurus.   Guru means an influential teacher or an expert. That sounds like someone worth listening to to me.   How are obsessions good. Some say, to succeed, you've go to be obsessed.   No, you don't. That sounds unhealthy.   The definition of obsess is to preoccupy or fill the mind of someone continually, intrusively, and to a troubling extent.   Don't fall into the trap of an obsession.   Well, to recap what you've learned today on Get Rich Education Episode 444 (ha!) rumors and obsessions are bad, and gurus are good.   Enough digression. Getting back to real estate investing.   Like I said at the beginning of the year, I don't expect much national HPA or price declines this year.   But regionally, the markets that we focus on here - the ones in the Southeast and Midwest and a little in the Northeast, have all performed well.   Many - even most - in our target markets appreciated in 2018 & 2019 & 2020 & 2021 & 2022 & they're continuing to do so now.   Many Florida markets are still seeing 10%+ appreciation. We're talking about those stable markets, avoiding the volatile, largely coastal markets where prices are sinking, especially on the West Coast.   As I've long discussed, one reason that we invest where we do are for their stable prices, even during downturns.   Backed by historical data, American housing's long-term regional price volatility is broken down like this: The most stable markets are in the Midwest and the Inland Northeast. The medium volatility markets are in South And the highly volatile markets, which we avoid  are in the West, and the Coastal Northeast - like NYC and Boston. I'm going to guess that you've never heard regional home price VOLATILITY described before.  Now, you might wonder, if the Inland Northeast tends to have more stable, long-term pricing than the South, why don't we favor it more than the South. Well, stable prices are important. But having high rent ratios and having strong LL-tenant laws and high in-migration make the Southeast a strong investment area. Of course, when I describe regions this broad there tend to be some outliers and exceptions. Now, it's going to be interesting to see how America's regional pricing level AND its level of stability changes over time. That is set up to change at a faster pace, and you might know why that is - why these geographic regions could see, really more of an amalgamation of characteristics and that is due to… you MIGHT know what I'm going to say. WFH. That actually is not an initialism or acronym for some kind of thinly veiled profanity. It is work-from-home.  The rise in Work From Home Trends could really start to blur these lines over time. Now, it would be a trend that moves slowly.  But consider, that, in January of 2023 six times more work was happening remotely than it was in January of 2019, that's according to a company called WFH Research. In fact, in major cities like New York and Chicago there are now more job postings for flexible arrangements than at any point during the last three years, according to the NBER & Bloomberg. Now, that's of less concern to you, the residential property investor. It might just be an interesting trend and create more demand for your product - HOMES! But it could very well put downward pressure price pressure on higher-priced areas like Manhattan, Brooklyn, and San Jose… and more upward price pressure on those lower cost areas where you & I tend to buy property. But with more Americans working from their homes, it is bad, bad, bad for downtown commercial landlords and some central business district companies who survived the 2020 lockdowns… but STILL haven't fully bounced back three years later.

I'm Keith Weinhold. You're listening to Episode 444 of Get Rich Education. ______________________ Welcome back to Get Rich Education. I'm your host, Keith Weinhold.   We are keepin' it real here at GRE. Building real wealth in the real world with real estate.   See the, uh, emphasis on the world “real”. Back in December, on Episode 427, you'll remember that we did a show devoted to Metaverse Real Estate Investing… and the consensus of the guest & I were that it is risky and in most cases, ill-advised to get involved.   Well, it was recently announced that both Disney and Microsoft have shuttered their metaverse projects.    Popular virtual worlds have seen steep drops in interest, with the median sale price of real estate in Decentraland plummeting 90% YoY. You know, with the real thing, even if your real estate lost value, which isn't common, it can't go down too far. You've still got the value of the land underneath it and the value of all the materials that your property is built with. What about national home prices for the rest of this year? Of course, it's always a little odd to discuss national home prices with the tens of thousands of US markets.    It's kind of like coming up with a national weather average.   Here are the MAIN factors governing national home price direction this year.   The headwinds to price growth - the threats are #1: 1 - We had banks fail early this spring. More regional bank fallout could contribute to tightening lending standards. Tightening lending standards would mean that fewer borrowers could qualify, and that could reduce demand. Reduced home demand is NOT good for prices. So that's ominous housing threat number #1. But even if that happens, regional banks are often making COMMERCIAL real loans. The government-backed loans you're getting for residential are more desirable - we're talking VA, FHA, rural housing mortgage, and conforming loans that are sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - which are often those types that you're getting for 1-4 unit income properties at GRE Marketplace. All government-guaranteed stuff. The second substantial threat to some good home price appreciation this year is that there is a small chance of a big "job loss" recession. With it being over a year since the Fed started raising rates, there is a lag effect and we should some at least a few more job losses as we head toward a likely recession. They are the two ominous threats. The tailwinds to price growth - these are the strengths for rising home prices, there are 3. The first one is that labor & supply inflation remains elevated, and well, that obviously keeps upward pressure on home prices. The second positive, or strength for home prices is - like I touched on earlier - increasing spring homebuyer demand hasn't been factored into the numbers yet - and that always boosts prices. And then the third strength and underlying factor to boost home prices this year is really, what I've called “the crash” which has caught some people off guard. Yes, this generation's housing crash ALREADY happened. It is that SUPPLY CRASH of about 60% in available American homes to buy. We have such a low housing supply, like we've discussed in-depth elsewhere on the show so I won't elaborate on that, but that changes nearly everything and it is one reason that home prices are still so resilient today. Still more demand than supply. National home prices have begun heading up a little, and there are a few more opportunities than there are threats that prices should keep rising, but I don't expect any huge gain, like no 10% gain nationally this year. I don't see how that can happen at all. Now, you'll notice that, mortgage rates, - I didn't put them into either category - either the upcoming housing threats or strength and that's simply because we don't know where mortgage rates are headed. They're so hard to predict so that's why I'm not forecasting where I think that mortgage rates will go. You know how when you're under contract to buy a property and you & your mortgage loan officer are having that strategy session on WHEN you want to lock in your rate. At least one time in your life - and I sure have in mine - you're tempted to ask your MLO where they think rates are going… well, like I said, they're just really difficult to forecast.  Your MLO often doesn't know where they're going to go. Do you remember, last year, or I sure do because I follow this stuff closely, the number of people and professionals that said mortgage rates would be 8 to 10% by Spring of 2023? Yeah, quite a few people said that emphatically. They're about 6.3% today. Before I get back to real estate, the quarter recently ended so let's whip around the asset classes like we do sometimes at quarter-end. Tech stocks got a boost in the first quarter, that helped the S&P be up 7%.   Stocks of the tech giants that are leading the charge in          AI-powered search, Microsoft and Alphabet, outpaced that.   Meanwhile, the second- and third-largest bank collapses in US history happening within 48 hours hurt bank stocks.   Bitcoin was up 72% in Q1. Do we say that crypto winter is over when bitcoin hits $30K?   Oil prices were flat, beginning & ending the quarter at around $80.   Gold was up 7%, partly due to the bank failures.   Silver rose 4% for the quarter.   You know what's been a really bad investment for the last decade, despite all the good things that you hear about its promise - investing in physical silver. You read that there's now more silver above ground than below ground.   10 years ago, silver was worth $25 dollars an ounce and it's still worth… $25 an ounce.   That's even worse than it sounds to laypeople. If you've held any investment for 10 years like that and it's worth merely the same amount of dollars, inflation just chomped about half of it away.   We might have had 40 or 50% or more real inflation in the last decade… and silver bars didn't pay you an income stream during that time either. What a poor performer!   Though I think that SOME precious metals can still be a good STORE of value.   That was whipping around the other asset classes in Q1 of this year.   One place to park your money that is NOT a good store of value is… savings accounts and CDs and MMFs.   Their interest rate, though it might feel good getting paid up to 4% or 5% on those, it ensures that you're losing prosperity every day… because CPI inflation is higher than that, and then the real rate of inflation is higher than that yet. True inflation might be double your savings account rate.   Instead, the smart money BEATS inflation and all the time, a little more of the smart money is GETTING OUT OF DOLLARS too with these rising concerns about foreign nations doing more of their business in yuan or another currency outside of the petro dollar.   The dollar is currently under a lot of stress, besides just the inflation. Dollars in savings accounts & the like… don't just lose to inflation… they're actually keeping your prosperity denominated in dollars, which a growing chorus feels precarious about right now.   Is the dollar about to lose its world reserve currency status? I don't know. I think people having been calling for that since shortly after Richard Nixon took us off the gold standard in 1971.    Instead, what about a fully renovated or brand new investment property, with a rent-paying tenant placed and its all under professional management for you.   That way it's low hassle for you, yet because you own the asset directly, you have the CONTROL without the hassle, and you're often paid those five ways.   This way, not only are you getting out of dollars with your down payment - another way to say it is that you're converting your dollars into real estate…   Then on top of that, when you borrow the dollars for 75 or 80% of the purchase price… you're getting out of dollars so much that you've essentially fund a way to go negative with your dollar position on that property.   When you buy through our network, since the property is new or renovated, you should often expect little or no ongoing repair or maintenance expense in the early years.   And here's the thing that some investors overlook. You may not have an CapEx expense at all. Those big capital expenditures like a new roof or windows or a furnace.   That's because when you buy new or rehabbed and you consider that your hold time often isn't more than 7-10 years due to equity accumulation and leverage ratios, as you lever up into another property, you can leave the Capital Expenditures to the next buyer when you sell.   So, these are some reasons why buying residential real estate makes a ton of sense in this environment.    Will these next five years be as lucrative as the last five years? No, I really wouldn't expect that - that's because of the historically high price runup these past few years.   But I still cannot think of a better place to be than that strategically-chosen real estate.   You can go ahead and get started looking at some properties in markets and connect with our free investment coaching there if you so choose.    That's all at GREmarketplace.com   Hey, I really had a great time chatting real estate and everything else with you today.   Until next week, I'm your host, KW.
