Good luck with the house. I never followed a traditional investment path. I wanted my house paid for (and property tax here is incredibly cheap) to go through downturns in industry I work in. Once that was out of the way then I could get onto other things. Obviouslyl would make money sense to finance and invest along the way, peace of mind for me.
Despite having done quite well making use of money to make money I'm highly against debt. I have been debt free for a long long time. We have discussed this a good number of times over the years here in this thread as it certainly makes sense on paper to borrow and invest but there is a very large intangible that is hard to quantify, but the benefits to my life are big enough I would never give them up to make a little more money.
sad to say.
I just paid a large increase on my truss order, I need to get foundation in asap so I can get this full lumber package ordered but it's just too cold to be pouring concrete. Things are an absolute shit show with pricing across the board.Lumber going back up wildly again
I wish I had a friend that had an inside ear to OPEC lol. I did read for whatever reason some OPEC countries are having a hard time getting their production back up. Guessing shutdowns and such don't work well for them.
