What Would Syadasti Do?
I'm losing money too... I'm just mad I didn't send my and MIL's taxes off earlier. I was planning on buying a bunch of muni's for our cash once I knew our fed and state tax load. Now that yields are shooting down, it doesn't make sense to do it. Guess I'm stuck in shit <2% high yield savings for now.
says birds open windows....
it kills me that the costcos in my state aren't allowed to sell alcohol.
The selection here is limited (beers all suck) and I can't remember the last time I bought booze there.
A similarly sized bottle of Bulleit was only a couple bucks cheaper than local packie, while this stuff was a steal.
tl/dr: I don't think you're missing out too much.
The liquor store attached to my costco is small, but some one there has excellent taste in whiskey. I should go by......
one of my managers lives down by the PA border with deleware. he goes to the costco there for the booze. none of the beers are anything special, but he finds an occasional good deal on scotch.
I’m told their Kirkland scotch is great, and the selection was pretty expansive, but I don’t drink scotch. They had a super-special Kirkland bourbon I passed on that should try another time. Wife buy wine and Prosecco there for parties but it’s not close enough to shop regularly.
Back on topic, door person was handing out disinfectant wipes upon entry
so I made kid push the cart. Gotta protect the quarterback.

2.87% 30 year fixed, *almost* at the number where it makes sense to refi. I think my absolute number is 2.5%.
Quicken loans. Probably qualify as jumbo, but maybe not, not sure what that threshold is.
This is killing me.
We have a 15 @ 3.3 with 7 years left but also a heloc that I'd love to refi.
My acct fucking died last year before filing either my personal or biz returns (extended in both cases due to waiting for IRS corporation-type change to go through) so I can't do anything until that's resolved.
Chances of that happening before rates go up are low to none, esp since all my personal tax info from last year is MIA and I need to chase it all down.

Doesn't make sense for me to refinance yet, but I would consider purchasing property in the San Juan Islands,Cascades or any other awesome place if property values in "second home" areas decline.
I have also been hoarding cash in preparation for a market decline. Unless things go full on depression my job is probably safe, I do not wish a disaster as it usually fucks the most vulnerable, but if it does, I am ready.

Raise your hand if you're buying things? Because even if it's going down, and we haven't bottomed, you should be. Take a portion of your invest-able cash and buy something nicely diversified and forget about it for a long time. Long planning will be you friend in
Costco Mtge. Executive Membership. Look it up.
Mine ended up being almost .25 less than the website quoted.
so weird-we refinanced about 8 years ago to a 15yr fixed and i swear it's at 2.75, apr 2.8.
Good thing the stock market isn’t the economy, eh?

Dow sinks 2,000 points in worst day since 2008, S&P 500 drops more than 7%
Stocks cratered Monday as investors grappled with the sinking price of oil and the spread of the coronavirus.
This state is going to be so F-ed, two of the biggest things we rely on are tourism and oil prices being high. The governor and ultra-hardcore republicans have been against imposing any kind of income tax and we've been hit with huge deficits, and this is before any fallout that will happen.
Futures down 1100 now.
It's almost like... Russia is trying to tank our economy. What if they were intentionally trying to tank to economy to sink Trump and get a Democrat elected, then drop evidence to show proof of international manipulation into the election, leading to a challenge of the legitimacy of the election and an even deeper regional and generational rift in this country?Good thing the stock market isn’t the economy, eh?

Nah. That would be insane.
I’m waiting for 2% mortgage rates by April.
or, even better, negative rates, where we get paid 2% to borrow money.
I mean, isn’t that basically what Trump was asking the Fed to do?
