    I would second putting it into one of the high interest money market accounts so it is super liquid and easy access should the time come that you needed it fast.

    Thoughts on Whole Life Insurance as an alternative to banking?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I have priced both ways and had salesmen tell me why Term is a waste of money and why Term is awesome and Whole Life is a rip off. Honestly I think both suck as most people pay into them for years and then either stop paying and let them lapse wasting all the money or redo into a new policy and...

    Writing my first book

    PUBLISHING 
    So as of a week or so live I have 4 sales, 2 from USA, 1 from UK, and 1 from Italy. (Not exciting, but I'm proud that they have sold either way and not to anyone I know). I have 3 reviews which I truly appreciate all from members of this forum (You guys rock!!) I spent $75 or so between Amazon...

    The US Needs More Tradespeople

    HOT! 
    Trades are so tight right now that they can charge whatever they want and people just have to pay it. I was bidding for a large paver job and block wall on a new home project and the pavers went up about $1 a ft (25%+) over the past year, and block walls had gone from about $22 a ft to now $32 a...

    Writing my first book

    PUBLISHING 
    Well I finally had a day off work and decided to just go ahead and launch my book on Amazon with no mass emails, marketing, etc... I know this isn't the best strategy, but I wanted to just get it up and out there and can rerelease later if it makes sense to do so. The Kindle version is up now...

    Disrupting the MLS

    REAL ESTATE 
    I would agree something like that would make sense. I have done on my last two houses an offer to the buyers agent for 4.5% commission if they got a full price offer in first 30 days of listing and both have sold right away and were well worth the extra 1.5% (Both under $300k so not a big deal)...

    Disrupting the MLS

    REAL ESTATE 
    Just fyi, I didn't mean to post this as if this was a true disruption in the MLS space... I think that this is a HUGE market that people in general would say works as-is and isn't worth messing with or trying to improve and many would look past the billions of dollars that will be created by...

    Disrupting the MLS

    REAL ESTATE 
    With all the news on lawsuits against agent fees and the MLS I figured that it would only be a matter of time before someone truly tried to disrupt real estate listings. Read this today and sounds like a pretty cool way to try and do this with the high end stuff at least. Curious how they plan...

    Spending 100k on townhouse, good or bad?

    Sure, why not? I would amend it though to just put down 20% and have a 15 year mortgage. That way you still keep cash in your account if it is needed for expenses but you get rid of PMI costs and the 15 yr mortgage will give you slightly higher payments to force you to put that money to the...

    Sometimes you should take the first offer... A story about trying to buy a Mclaren

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Had a similar situation when looking for a new car for my wife (although about 1/3rd of this budget). I went back and forth with a bunch of sales reps online and everyone just wanted to set an appointment to come in and close me at their sales price vs having anything to do with my "offers" I...

    I just put my house up for sale and no one I know understands why

    HOT! 
    I'm actually looking to sell now as well and will cash out $185k or so (I put down a bunch but still $125k in gains over 3 years so tax free). I'm looking to lock in the gains as well but planning on moving to a slightly more expensive area closer to the city (I live far out of town). I am...
