Once upon a time, in a bustling town, there were two neighbors, Sarah and Mark, who lived side by side. Their lifestyles couldn't have been more different, and their choices were like a tale of tricks and treats.Sarah, a dedicated real estate professional, led a sedentary lifestyle. Her days were filled with hours of sitting at her desk, meeting clients, and crunching numbers for property deals. Evenings often found her on the couch in front of the TV, too exhausted to think about exercise.She often indulged in fast food and rarely saw the motivation for physical activity. Over the years, this lifestyle had become a "trick" that hid the shadows of potential health risks.As time passed, Sarah began to experience the consequences of her sedentary ways. She struggled with weight gain felt ... 10/02/2023

The big story of last week was the release of the PCE - (personal consumption expenditures) the Fed's preferred inflation gauge. More specifically, the Fed follows Core PCE which excludes food and energy (they claim that there are too many global variables that influence energy prices, such as oil, so excluding them gives us a better idea of actual US inflation). The month-over-month (MoM) change in core PCE came in at an increase of 0.1%. The market was expecting a 0.2% increase MoM. Not only did this beat expectations, but it's the lowest MoM increase since November 2020. Year-over-year (YoY) inflation came in at 3.9%. This was the first time this year that this piece of data came in under 4%. The markets rallied on this news and so did the bond markets, bringing yields down. The Nove... 10/02/2023

Searcy Daily Citizen 1929Newspapers seem to be passing away.  We can now go to the computer in order to read the newspaper.  Many people don't have computer knowledge or own a computer.  Prices for the newspaper has gone higher so lots of people have dropped their subscription.  I plan to continue reading a newspaper each day if I can afford to do so.  I love and respect newspapers and the folks who make it happen.  I treasure the clipped photos of family members that I saved through the years. Above is a 1929 photograph of a newspaper newsroom.  Looks kinda messy, doesn't it.  I am attaching a photo of the names of folks pictured.  It was attached to the picture.   10/02/2023

“I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.”  Jimmy Buffett I’ve always loved this Jimmy Buffett quote because it conveys a message of adaptability, resilience, and taking control of one's own destiny in the face of uncontrollable external circumstances. I sat down and thought about why it resonated with me: u "I can't change the direction of the wind": This part of the quote acknowledges that there are certain aspects of life that we cannot control or alter. In this case, the "wind" represents external forces, events, or circumstances that may be beyond our influence, such as unexpected challenges, setbacks, or changes in our environment. u  "But I can adjust my sails": Here, I feel he is emphasizing that even though we can't co... 10/02/2023

And butterscotch candy made its way to our shores courtesy of Scottish immigrants. Even Southern Fried Chicken owes its beginnings to both the Scots and West African people settling in the south.

A home appraisal is a key part of many home sales, but many sellers make the process harder than it needs to be because they don’t know how to navigate the process, and their lack of knowledge can be frustrating to home appraisers.So, if it was up to appraisers, what advice would they give sellers on how to prepare for an appraisal?A recent article from realtor.com outlined the top things appraisers wish sellers knew before getting their home appraised, including: Prep your space before the appraisal… The appraiser isn’t there to judge how clean and/or orderly your home is. That being said, if you want your home to appraise for the highest possible value, you want to show it in its best light, so a thorough deep cleaning and decluttering prior to the appraisal is always a good idea. …an... 10/02/2023

If the thought of investing your money into brick and mortar—or perhaps some stylishly-painted siding—excites you, join the club.Investing in real estate has long been one of Americans' favorite ways to grow their wealth. In fact, over 70% of single-family rental properties are currently owned by individual investors rather than corporations, according to Census data.1Moreover, a decade's worth of Bankrate surveys has found that Americans often prefer real estate for long-term wealth building over other investments. According to Bankrate's latest survey, for example, Americans have historically embraced real estate, in part, because of the strong return on investment it can offer—especially to investors willing to stick with a property over time.2 It’s also a popular way to hedge agains... 10/02/2023
