that headline inflation is 1.6%

LOL

If houses were being downsized and sold at the 'regular' prices like many products are, houses would be the size that only little dolls could fit into.

That 1.6% inflation only exists in the governmental reports from Washinton bureaucracies, not in the real world.

If you got the money, buy land, buy lots of it. If my wife didn’t spend all of mine all the time, I would be the land baron of Central Texas.

A falling interest rate doesn't really make housing more affordable. I remember rates dropping a dozen years ago ... and buyers raising their prices because people could afford more.

We weren't going to save any money -- it was just a matter of who was going to get the money.

This is the first time in my life that I’m not paying down debt aggressively. In fact, I’ve restructured my debt to pay it off as slowly as possible.

At 2.9% I am getting the money for free under the worst plausible scenario, but more likely I’m being paid to take the money under the most plausible scenario.

Real inflation is already above 3% and will likely hit 10%+ before this socialist mess runs its course.

I’m 100% certain that we will not be “suffering” through a bolstered dollar and deflation.
