Remember, most of the time I'm being annoying on purpose.

Most of the time, you're succeeding.

BTW, how's the house hunting coming along in New Brunswick.

IMO, the market is reacting to inflation. I think "to the moon" was the monetary slogan of the Weimar Republic.

Fair - that may be the case. But, if I were being purely selfish I could see myself voting for more inflation (not that I think that's a thing).

I have a huge chunk of fixed low-rate debt. My income will typically keep up with inflation and I throw a big chunk of it into the market.

Why would you have debt?

Big ass mortgage. And to a much smaller degree, a mostly-paid off student loan for grad school. (I'm sitting at <2% for that sucker, so imma just pay the minimum there)

Good question.

But, the short answer is absolutely.

In my case, carrying some debt on my HELOC costs less (in interest) than the amount I'd pay to the IRS on "earned income."

Yeah, we are looking at the same thing.

I'm sick of people who aren't even citizens of my country and who don't even live here telling me what to think

Maybe you are talking to @Klaus ?

I am a proud citizen of the US.

My mistake. I just found it hard to believe anyone actually living here could be so uninformed.

I thought you live in Taiwan?

@klaus Born in Taiwan, dual citizen with the US. Now, kind of "based" in Thailand, but travel quite a bit (especially pre COVID but starting up again)

Which part of the US do you approximately live in? Just in case I'm in the area
