@pepemoonboy Great analysis 🧐

I ran the numbers on renting and investing the difference vs. buying a home... The results are shocking. The setup: - Median U.S. home sale price: $398,000 (NAR, 2026) - Average U.S. rent: $2,000/mo (Zillow, 2026) - Mortgage rate: 6.51% (30yr fixed, 10% down) All in monthly cost of owning that home: - P&I: $2,266 - Property tax: $332 - Insurance: $215 - Maintenance: $332 - PMI: $149 - Total: $3,294/mo Renting cost: - Rent: $2,000 - Renters insurance: $14 - Total: $2,014/mo The renter saves $1,280/mo. Plus the $51,740 in down payment and closing costs never leaves their pocket. All of it goes into $VOO. Using the long term S&P 500 avg return of 10% and home appreciation of 3.4%/yr (the avg since 1891): After 10 years: - Renter portfolio: $334K - Home equity (net of selling costs): $219K - Renter wins by $115K After 20 years: - Renter portfolio: $927K - Home equity: $531K - Renter wins by $397K After 30 years: - Renter portfolio: $2.41M - Home equity: $1.02M - Renter wins by $1.39M Even if you give the home 5% annual appreciation, the renter still wins at every single checkpoint. At $VOO's actual historical return of 13.99%, the renter's portfolio hits $6.38M after 30 years. The home equity is still $1.02M. The part nobody talks about: after 30 years your rent is $5,614/mo. Sounds scary. But your portfolio is generating $20K+/mo at a 10% return. You could pay that rent 3x over and never touch the principal. A home is a place to live. $VOO and the stock market is a wealth building machine. Not financial advice. There are lots of variables I may be missing. Run your own numbers.

@fourducklings @boltthrower @LaInaMinute It is do-able but I wouldn’t say easily.

@boltthrower @txbbqmt @LaInaMinute Could easily do it again, if anyone really cared. It’s not a one time thing

I love Los Angeles and do my best to speak well of this great city - but $85 for 14 gallons of 87 octane is brutal.

@stoolpresidente @JeffDLowe Chicken parmigiana and rigatoni just doesn’t seem right to me 🤷🏻‍♂️

If I ever become @JeffDLowe and go to a great Italian restaurant and can’t eat my chicken parm because I’m on one of these high falutin weight loss drugs please punch me in the penis.

@StuartFeiner Smoke 💨 some weed and relax, it’s Easter 🐣

Urgent Life changing announcement. I watched Shutter Island wire to wire on Easter Sunday 2026 and I will never ever write in all caps again. Thank you for the understanding. Its been a fabulous unprecedented run. I am 65 and have finally stopped yelling. Your source Stu Feiner.

@stoolpresidente Born to run 🏃‍♂️

@MarioNawfal He’s taking the oil, not leaving as he says

🇺🇸 Dozens of U.S. military tankers are crossing Europe toward the Middle East. Whatever Trump says about timelines, the logistics tell a different story.

@WallStreetMav You can thank the LA City Council

Movies and TV production jobs are collapsing in California. Is this due to technology or just lousy business environment in California?

@WallStreetApes This report is about 20 years late

20 hotels in California used for Birthright Citizenship Fraud “Federal agents swooping in to raid what they are calling maternity tourism rings. The ring helps pregnant women, most of them in this area from China illegally travel to the U.S to give birth to American babies” “Investigators say this building and at least 20 other locations, they raided in LA, Orange County and San Bernardino counties double as maternity hotels. People who come from China to the United States for the sole purpose of giving birth” ‘Chinese clients are charging $15,000–$80,000+ per package for housing, visa coaching (to conceal pregnancies), transportation, and post-birth service’ We have to ban birthright citizenship

@BrandonStraka @Timcast Yep, better off being illegal

A mother earning $60K says she can’t afford her daughter’s medical care—but would qualify for assistance if she earned less. She says the system punishes those trying to stay afloat. x.com/StandUpForTrmp…

@LaInaMinute Shooting up and smoking crack in front of Ralph’s is fine but don’t drive over the speed limit

Speed cameras are coming to L.A.! The location of each of the 125 cameras being installed THIS month was released - and the fines will start at the end of the summer. So where are they going to be? Let’s get into it!

@nbcsandiego And the water level will rise 15 feet 🤦🏻‍♂️

Roughly 75% of California’s sandy beaches will disappear by 2100, as warming oceans and rising sea levels threaten the state, according to a new report by a state council tasked with helping to protect coastal ecosystems. on.nbc7.com/sHbP592
