We could grab food in SD county sometime, or whatever works!

People will always need food, clothing, shelter, education, medical and dental care.

The other advantage I see of lower debt / LTV is that in a downswing I think we're more likely to be in a better position to buy AND to withstand the pressures present.I've read others here see it the exact opposite way, and I honestly don't have the experience to really 'know' - meaning, I've heard the opinion that a bank is more likely to call a commercial note in a downswing with 50% LTV because they have more to gain (equity) in taking control of that house with higher equity, vs. the 95% LTV house where the bank has more to loose by taking control of the asset.

Just food for thought. 

If you have a job lined up or your family has money then maybe it's different, not everyone is in the same situation as I was at 21 wondering if I should spend money on food or filling up my gas tank!

He approached me and I actually felt bad, but I never give money to strangers I always offer food or water.

I'm currently working as a quality technician for Riviana Food Labs, working overnight and I use my days to pursue financial freedom for my family (D4D, CC).I've spent this entire year stuck in fear and reading articles and books, trying to use education as a cloud to hide behind instead of hopping out into the actual REI world and applying what I've learned.

If you cashflow 5k/month from your rental properties, but your day to day living expenses total 5k/month (gas, food, clothing etc), then you are net neutral. 

I'm a sophomore and my mother is paying for me to attend, my vehicle, my gas, my food, and I live in her basement.

I also work and have two jobs. my husband saved up 20,000  to buy a food turck to start in March 2020.
