My subtle flex goal by age ~60 is to casually be able to go to breakfast in a neighborhood spot 3-5 days per week, with 0-3 friends, for 30-90 minutes without worrying about how it impacts the rest of my day.

Booking travel for a work event and there is choice between a room in a 6 bedroom airbnb vs. solo hotel with a king bed.
I can’t believe how much I am looking forward to 2 nights of totally uninterrupted sleep 3 months from now.

Just got an email for an open house in a $27MM listing encouraging people to "BYO snacks". It's getting thin out there.

If you are looking at homes and your agent has not discussed cost of ownership with you based on your stated budget (purchase price and monthly), then you likely hired a dud.

I promise, there is no better way to fit in than buying an $800 cowboy hat from Kemo Sabe as soon as you get off the plane.

With Travis Hunter’s Heisman win, CU Boulder seems like a locked in top 10 college destination for athletes (as long as Deion is there), students, and parents who want to justify regular trips to the Rockies.

The number of successful ski instructor and/or fishing guide to real estate broker career arcs that I have seen defies logic. You barely need a HS diploma to get hired in any of these fields but success comes from soft skill of communicating with wealthy folks.

I have a lot to be thankful for this year, but seeing the 76ers at 3-14 is a true highlight.
Also, a downward trend in 10 year bond yields is nice too.

If I had FU money I would build a house with 3/4” plywood behind the drywall anywhere I might eventually hang anything. I would like to eliminate drywall anchors from my life forever.

My wife connected me with her colleague who is a first time homebuyer in MN just to talk through where they are in their process. They had spoken to a Realtor and a had gotten prequalified up to $400k but, amazingly, they never discussed monthly payments! Buyer agency matters.

My youngest turned 2 in Sept. and he easily knows the names of 20+ animals in both English and Spanish. This, unfortunately, confirms that all 3 kids are now too smart to follow me into real estate.

Pretty crazy that, at this point, mortgage lending to 720-760 credit scores is squelched just as thoroughly as <720.
It appears that mortgage obstruction now even reaches up 760, as the >760 category now has the lowest rate of originations in the 22 years covered by the HHDC report.
