    Bigger Pockets is the holy grail for real estate investing.

    I'm in the same boat as you

    Also this website is the holy grail of consumerism, so we're all hypocrites in a way haha

    bigger pockets to survive those months of no tenant.

    I want to retire from a routine job early age, but do side work for probably rest of my life. I don't mind having a boss, I just want to be able to manage my own time or have more time. 50 hours a week is rough 52 weeks a year. I know 50 doesn't sound like a lot, and it's not, I just have other things I want to pursue.

    Corporate America blows. I'm not scared to work harder in order to have a more meaningful job ie, real estate.

    BRRR is what I like right now. Wholesaling is attractive to me, also

    that sounds good but youll have to factor in healthcare insurance costs dental costs as you age youll need more and more, also youll be married with kids you need a gauranteed amount of money monthly and you will probably also at some point will have elderly parents who will need help at some point and illnesses with them. what happens is when these socialist ideas start to manifest someone has to pay those bills and they will come for your money since you've done all the right things in saving and managing your money and living frugally when necessary to pay for the freebies. Nothing in life is free.

    I got the notification on tariffs before the FOMC press conference. Either way, yeah they're going hand in hand. Any kind of pressure on our economy is going to make the Fed think twice on rates, even though the economy is still fine right now.

    There's no sense in dwelling on the unknowns, and the last time that I took off my tin foil hat nothing changed. The moral of the story here is that many people, myself included, are looking for an opportunity to improve ourselves and our situation. Many of us have attempted to leverage the power of the stock market to support that venture which is why we are in here chatting about it. To learn from one another and improve. There's nothing that says that it won't come all crashing down eventually or that I won't drop dead on my 60th birthday after a lifetime of diligent saving and investing in miscellaneous retirement vehicles. Please try to remain on topic.

    I think sometimes we forget you're a moderator since you're so active in this thread. I know that I rarely ever encounter a mod anywhere on the whole forum other than you in this thread haha. One of us! One of us!

    What's up with this roller coaster today? Every time I refresh my account it has swung hundreds of dollars in one direction or the other!

    Just a shark lurking in the weeds... I have a good tolerance for BS, because I talk plenty of it myself. I am part of this crowd for sure. I'm just another guy trying to find his American Dream! lol

    You must have too much money then :D

    Lots of little news pieces, and lots of technical resistance points getting flirted with.

    The FOMC conference made sense, it went up. Then down, up, down, up... those I don't get.
