I would never pay off a 3% mortgage early. The opportunity cost, inflation protection and liquidity just doesn't make it worth it for me. I have a 6.5% and investing instead, and will refi soon. What do you think?

States with the highest income taxes: 13.3% California 11% Hawaii 10.9% New York 10.75% New Jersey 10.75% DC 9.9% Oregon 9.85% Minnesota 9% Massachusetts 8.75% Vermont 7.65% Wisconsin Some of you are paying an extra 13.3% when you don't need to.

"Stop putting money into retirement accounts, you can't pull money out of them early" Not true. Rule of 55 - can pull from 401k when you quit your job at 55 or later w/o 10% penalty Section 72(t) - can pull from 401k at any time by creating a SoSEPP w/o 10% penalty Roth IRA -

Just a reminder: You don't need the new $799 iPhone 17 if your current one works just fine. Don't waste your money.

Now the Dems want to shut down the government. This ought to go well for them…

Is there a good argument why, if IEEPA gives the President tariff power in any “emergency” he declares, that a Democrat President in 2029 could not declare a “climate emergency” and impose 1000% tariffs on oil products and on any country that doesn’t meet his climate goals?

I know many publicly active conservatives. In a much lesser way, I am a publicly active conservative. We should all be taking steps to protect ourselves from maniac liberals so that we can watch our kids grow up. So should all conservative worship services. RIP Charlie Kirk

As someone who believes the inflationary effect of tariffs to be transitory, I’m not comforted by the trends of recent inflation reports. Tariffs clearly are having an impact on clothing and cars say, hopefully one off. But the inflationary pressures may be broader? In any event,

JUST IN: Tariffs are clearly hitting now. U.S. Inflation rises to 2.9% (y/y) in August-->up from 2.3% in April. Higher food, gas and shelter costs drove inflation up in August. Cars, apparel and airfares also saw costs surge. ***Inflation jumped 0.4% during the month, the

Bottom line: Inflation is still way down from its peak. There's no sign it's taking off in a huge way. And the recent increase is in part driven by one-off factors. But it's moving in the wrong direction -- and you can no longer say "there's no sign of tariffs in the inflation

🔥 Inflation heats back up. August CPI +0.4% (2.9% y/y). Core +0.3% (3.1% y/y) — still stuck above the Fed’s 2% target. Shelter, food, and energy all climbed: groceries +0.6%, rent +0.4%, gasoline +1.9%. Electricity +6.2% y/y, natural gas +13.8%. Inflation isn’t “over.” Core

Every conservative guessed this yesterday and told their text threads about it. It’s very predictable. This isn’t about “both sides” or undirected political violence. It’s about radical left wing terrorism, and in recent years it’s has a strong trans component. That’s reality.
