Celebrating 3 years at @FortuneMagazine today 🥳 It's been a wild ride covering higher ed/student loans, housing/real estate—and even the great Kate Middleton saga. I wouldn't have it any other way, and am immensely grateful for the bright people I get to work with every day.

@lesamiesdejosep I'm a housing reporter at Fortune Magazine and would like to hear more about your situation. My DMs are open if you want to chat.

Especially the young, who are apparently giving up on buying a house or starting a family and taking cruises instead. The gutting of the Middle Class has been going on for 25 years now -- ever since the Fed replaced the real economy with money printers. It's now accelerating.
