#QUOTE
"Believe you can and you're halfway there." - Theodore Roosevelt
Often, we tend to doubt our abilities and second-guess our decisions, which can hold us back from achieving our goals. However, if we cultivate a positive mindset and believe in ourselves, we are more likely to take action and overcome obstacles in our path.
This is a strong reminder that success is not just about having the right skills or resources, but also about having the right mindset. With self-belief and a positive attitude, we can overcome challenges and achieve great things in life.

Maybe Treating Housing as an Investment was a Colossal, Society-Shattering Mistake
//goodreasogoodreason
Buying a home as an investment is flawed logic as it bakes in the assumption that housing prices will continue to rise above inflation, which is unrealistic and puts an undue burden on homeowners to constantly root for their home prices to increase.
Housing is just one big ponzi scheme--if you get in early enough, convince others to join in and the early movers get rich.
It makes me think of this chart -- blue lines generally represent where technological improvements have pushed down costs, whereas red is where they are technologically stagnant and regulated by the government.
