Reality:
Your starter home is purchased at the top of the market.
Buy it, stay there 5 years, your equity has gone up, but the value has been a rollercoaster.
You sell it, make a tiny profit (which is eaten up by your real estate agent and random fees) and move on.
In the future, you know buying a home is not an investment for profit, it's an investment for your family's wellbeing.
English
Friendly reminder:
Your starter home has one job: Get you in the game.
Buy it, stay there 5-7 years, fix it up, build equity.
Sell it, make ~$130,000 & get something nicer.
…Pay 0% tax on the profit👌🏻

Moved my retirement accounts to Robinhood last year bc of their asset match (like 3% match on all assets or something like that?)
But it’s incredibly annoying that you have to scroll past prediction markets (read: sports betting) to see portfolio positions.
The forced sports betting is gross.

@Coutorce @serialtrickster @ValuesRespecter @BanUnsweetTea That’s great but capitalism literally is disagreeing lol
English
@serialtrickster @ValuesRespecter @BanUnsweetTea I’d live in Mississippi over California any day of the week!!

Genuinely seems Trumps presidency is completely falling apart. Basic government services aren’t getting executed. He’s stuck in a quagmire in the Middle East. Job growth is negative and inflation is accelerating. Gas is 4-5 dollars a gallon. What a mess

TSA is quoting 3 hours for both pre check and general, they have turned off the signs that show wait time because they can’t track the lines when they’re into baggage claim. Clear is closed. This is ATL at 5am
English
@HankFrank It’s also extremely hard being an ex athlete. So many people I know were great athletes through HS or college then take a few years off of anything serious. They expect to jump right back in where they left off but now they’re pushing 30 and haven’t run in years
English
Nobody tells new runners that the first 6 months are going to suck.
Everything hurts, nothing feels good, and you’re convinced you’re not built for it.
Then somewhere around month 7 or 8 something clicks and you can’t imagine your life without it.
Most people quit at month 4.

@CRYPTnTONIX @NaismithTrophy @3bradensmith @BoilerBall I mean yeah he’s 6’0” 170. I’m sure he could coach but he obviously is too small to play at the next level
English
@NaismithTrophy @3bradensmith @BoilerBall And after this tournament you will never hear of him again in sports …
English
College basketball’s new assist king!
@3bradensmith of @BoilerBall has made NCAA Division I men’s basketball history, becoming the all-time assists leader after passing Bobby Hurley with his 1,077th career assist.
Smith set the record on March 20, 2026, cementing his legacy as one of the game’s elite playmakers and the ultimate floor general.

@uncledoomer Same dudes who misinterpret their buddies with kids having fun visiting as them regretting their choice. It’s fun to go party in the city for a night but I wouldn’t trade my family for it
English
@Bulkington___ Fall of Civilizations podcast covers exactly this idea. It’s super interesting how demoralizing it must have been to live in the shadows of a society that you lost the technology to replace
English
@RealTrouble_Man The man didn’t shut up about operation warp speed for months and now it’s been collectively memory holed or somehow blamed on Biden
English
Trump initiated the lockdowns and the turbo-cancer shots, bucko
Cernovich@Cernovich
This is starting to feel like the Covid era again. Except MAGA is the Covid side. Yelling at anyone who dissents.
English
@petersantilli @ImBreckWorsham You’re treating the economy like it’s a sports fan base
English
@ImBreckWorsham Keep the faith. What we're about to experience is not for "fair weather patriots". Imagine what those numbers would be without President Trump at the helm
English
As much as I bashed Biden, this one physically hurts.
English
How do people in the suburbs genuinely look forward to Friday night on the couch, Saturday morning at Costco, and call that a weekend?
Like you really moved out of the city just to LARP as your parents at 34?

@jonfavs When does this guy be president? He is in front of a camera for 8 hours a day

Trump on skyrocketing gas prices: "It's not bad."
Acyn@Acyn
Trump: Everything was going great. The economy was great. I hate to make this excursion, but we're going to have to do it. And I actually thought the numbers would be worse. I thought that it would go up more than it did. So I wanted to put out that fire and I said, you know, if I do that, oil prices will go up, the economy will go down a little bit. I thought it would be worse, much worse. Actually, I thought there was a chance it could be much worse. It’s not bad.
English
@Hybridathlete Holy shit thank you. I constantly hear the shit like “I carry even at home” “My home defense system is military lock down”. Bro get your kids out of the hood
English
Guy on here said you shouldn't sleep with ear plugs in because you can't protect your family.
What a joke.
If you live in an area where wearing earplugs is a threat to your family's safety, it is your duty as a man to make some more money and move your family to a safer area.
Nick Huber@sweatystartup
A guy on here said he sleeps better with earplugs in. What a joke. It is your duty as a man to hear what is going on in your home and protect your family at all costs. If your sleep suffers it’s because you don’t know how to sleep. Terrible habits.
English
@StockStreamer25 @indexnforgetit Because the implication that growth stocks are some illiquid asset like real estate is a silly comparison
English
@indexnforgetit You can grow wealth and build income at the same time.
Cash flow gives you options along the way.
Why limit those options by ignoring dividends?
English
Unless your net worth is >$1million
Your time is better spent growing wealth than focusing on dividend payments
English
@blockkboyy615 @moorehn @tkaaaaaaaaaay Elite New England prep schools literally have their own internal “LinkedIn” where you can connect directly with alumni who are in some of the most powerful seats of any industry
English
@moorehn @tkaaaaaaaaaay Not really, Children aren’t making those connections from k-12 lmao. They’re making those connections in college. It’s to keep kids away from other kids they don’t want them to be around lmao
English
This is a common, very bourgeois error about the purpose of private school. The purpose of private school is not academic achievement. It is to establish a child within a social network of contacts that will help their career and marriage prospects for life.
Nick Maggiulli@dollarsanddata
Private schools are the most expensive placebo in America. Nowhere else will you pay $250k+ for something that has so little impact on school achievement. My latest on why private school isn't worth the cost: ofdollarsanddata.com/why-private-sc…

@BladeoftheS Ben & Jerry’s intentionally held a 7:1 ratio for decades before they sold to Unilever
English
The Green Party have proposed a policy where the highest paid person in a company could only earn 10x as much as the lowest, currently the ratio is over 1000x in some companies.
Do you agree?
English
@darwintojesus Man it’s almost like the robot designer had a perfect example to base all of their designs on that had been built by millennia of evolution
English
@f1f1account @DelusionPosting What happens if I own a family business worth $200,000,000? Do my kids have to sell it now? Who’s the buyer?
English
@DelusionPosting It should absolutely be 100%… above a certain level. Maybe 100,000,000$?
I dunno why people hate inheritance tax.
English
@equity_by_mp @NotA_Bull Not saying it’s a bad choice but what do you think investing 100% in US large cap is?
English
@NotA_Bull Entire net worth? Easily $VOO.
I’m not turning my whole balance sheet into one macro bet.
English
You have to put your entire net worth into ONE of these: Bitcoin $BTC, Gold $GLD, or S&P 500 $VOO.
You can't touch it for 20 years.
Pick.
English
@InvestingAddict Risk is also a sliding scale. Going 100% stocks is “risky” but maxing 50k in credit cards to start a business is really risky
English
Unpopular Opinion:
Taking less risk when you’re young is often a better path to financial freedom than taking more.
When you invest early time and compounding do most of the heavy lifting.
The earlier you start, the less risk you have to take to reach the same outcome.
