Whether you're a seasoned pro or just dipping your toes in the water like me, I'm a firm believer that our collective strength lies in lifting each other up.Nestled in the serenity of Grass Valley, I'm eager to forge bonds with fellow locals and cultivate a network built on mutual support and collaboration.

These are all things that do not cost money and maybe can do a little family bonding walking the neighborhoods and writing down addresses.

Stock and bond markets are taking the inflation news with zero grains of salt.

Yes you should easily shed a good portion of it but to shed all of it will be a lot harder and needs diet and exercise (not just one)This is evident also by the latest treasury bond sales - other countries are slowing down buying our debt which means rates (especially mortgage rates (will stay higher longer).

Finally GC's are bonded and that keeps you from being sued when your sub falls off his ladder.

Also they have the ability to stall said permit until they put up landscape bonds which is the only thing the city is requiring now. 

The 3% mortgage years were a product of the Federal Reserve artificially tampering with otherwise free-market bond sales. 

Generally speaking, the better quality businesses will charge more because they have to...their cost of doing business is higher because they have all of the proper licenses, insurances, bonds, etc.Never ever ever take the lowest price...that guy is priced low for a really good reason.

.; real estate equity, equity after capgains and selling expenses, cash on hand, stocks/bonds, other assets, etc.)....a singular variable like net worth really doesn't say much about an investor's position without all those other variables...

You don't get this with bonds or equities.
