What are you passionate about?

I haven't read all the responses yet but my initial thought is that it's unreasonable to pick one number and expect 2 people -- wife and DD -- to work...

ME TOO! I made a list today of things that make me happy and dogs and animals were both at the top of the list Fun fact: I took some time off before...

Thanks for the insightful response, and also for putting some perspective on the fact that I don't have to be curing cancer or saving lives to have meaningful...

As a spin off from the what does financial freedom mean to you post, I'm having a couple of personal internal conflicts lately.

1) Financial...

Travel mostly. Let go of some of my spending guilt and let us have a night out to dinner. I don't keep my side hustle money too separate from the rest...

Gross overgeneralization. I think smoking has become less socially acceptable among the educated and middle/upper class so people just hide it. If you...

I find it interesting that some people define financial freedom as having paid off their mortgage. For me it's just having enough passive income to cover...

[riverwed070707]

Totally agree with this. Needs to be something you can add to apple wallet (or the android equivalent?) and access from the home screen like a boarding...

Marriott does the same. Slow roll out but I'm noticing it at all of their new properties and slowly more and more older ones. You can also live chat via...

Agree with those who say host covers in house cost, split outside of house costs; however, like others mentioned, as a guest I often offer to buy some,...

Do you rent to unmarried tenants who aren't having sex? Is it a question on your application whether they are intimately involved? Or you just only rent...

[riverwed070707]

You legally cannot deny a tenant because of their marital status. Having been married and never planning to do it again despite having a long term boyfriend,...

For me, my first couple of rentals were out of necessity so I didn't put that much thought into getting into the game per say. They were primary residences...

[riverwed070707]

Good thoughts.
I hate working on the rental. I enjoyed it at first and I think I could again if I didn't also have a full time job and a couple...

[riverwed070707]

Thanks TH. I needed to hear that. The cash out is tempting but its absolutely working backwards from everything I've been putting in place the last 12...

[riverwed070707]

I know this board is Luke warm on rentals but I value your opinion. Got a letter in the mail from an investor asking if I want to sell my 4 plex. For...

[riverwed070707]

Disagree. Use a card with cash back rewards and then pay in full within 30 days. The school will still reimburse the full amount but you will have paid...

[riverwed070707]

I use Mint. Beyond allowing you to create a budget, it links with your accounts and then allows you to categorize transactions so you can see how your...

[riverwed070707]

If the age was looking at all of my accounts it would be much older than 4 years. It seems to be averaging on open accounts even though I can still see...

[riverwed070707]

Definitely not detrimental... I'm just kind of a perfectionist and it annoys me that I have a red category indicating I'm not doing well haha I also have...
