I get a bunch of spam related to commercial financing (technically my license allows it) but never read it.

@Eric Gamble Thanks Eric!

It's an economy based on corporate event hosting and gambling.

Again, this may change after you're no longer overseas, but please don't gamble your future just because you're excited to get started.

My name is Dan Stone and I'm an artist working in Glendale on kids shows.I've spent the last two years educating myself in financial literacy, having dabbled with currency trading, micro investing and finally realizing that I'd rather not gamble for tens of dollars but actually learn how to use my money in a way that can see real gains.The last six months taught me just how -not very promising- a lot of financial products actually are.

But you do want a receipt comfirmation to make sure they got it and its not in spam.

(As an aside, your pension as a public employee is none of my business, but if you have one, you might want to watch The Pension Gamble.

Without the necessary ground work in place such as a good paying secure job, significant savings, high credit score etc. you are gambling not investing. 

There is a difference in gambling and investing. 

It's a gamble if you rent it out in hopes that the market will continue, but with interest rates rising, I'd absolutely sell it now.Btw-- really nice rehab-- it looks great!
