It involves figuring out a way to address the rampant income inequality in this country that is creating a handful of winners and a whole lot of losers.

Hey Seattle BPers - I've got a challenge for you: pull out your crystal ball, your data sets, and your intuition and predict the highest appreciation Seattle neighborhood in 2020, 2021, and 2022.Winner gets something.

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!!!!!!

I am very picky on what looks like a winner. 

I do share your concerns, and I do think we are quite late in the business cycle and asset prices are quite full right now, but surely there are winners and losers in any environment (barring another global meltdown). 

That's a winner. 

Let me break down my current situation a bit:- I’m 39- Marine combat veteran - Retired law enforcement offficer- $8,500 a month tax free from military compensation and law enforcement retirement combined. - $300k cash to start investing with- Make extra cash from teaching online at a university and retail real estate since last September (not excited about it though.

Whichever one yields the best numbers( with the highest potential to profit) in say 5 to 10 yrs is the winner, imo.Kudos,Mary
