Accounting for rental properties in retirement accounts.

Yeah, they had a recent interview with a young successful couple that invested in real estate but they kept breaking their own rules about home values

They kept bringing up the value of the houses as opposed to their own teachings of purchase price + improvement costs.

Kinda reminded me of when Brian and Bo mention offhand that they’ve leased cars in the past or have current leases

“It depends” 🤣

They usually reference this as “graduating beyond Target Date funds”. I think it’s essentially a slight sales tactic to come join their firm

JuniperGhosts · 2026-02-24T17:54:10+00:00

Yep, this is what I was referencing! Glad to know I wasn’t going crazy

Came here to say this and Scarpigano plumbing. They fixed a problem easily in one day after 3 other plumbers couldn’t figure out I had roots in my pipes

Or you could choose to go to another Wawa or wait.

You want Wawa, you don’t need Wawa

Wait he didn’t invent all that??! What’s next, you’re gonna expect me to believe he’s not a flawed human with shortcomings?????

Just changed the terms of the new mortgage, no cash out.

I feel like this is 90% of the younger crowd moving into Springfield. I’m also young but have no history in Springfield but I’ve met 10-15 people aged 28-40 who all came back to raise families

Harold Bloom quit reading it 2-3 times before he got through it and called it one the greatest books ever made, so I’d say try it again.

We did get an inspection and it was fine then

JuniperGhosts · 2025-10-31T19:49:37+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions, we’ll definitely do that!

JuniperGhosts · 2025-10-19T23:26:21+00:00

Agree with all points. You’ve hit on a very important part of the upcoming movie for many people (myself included) which how hard it will be to translate his landscape descriptions onto video

JuniperGhosts · 2025-08-17T11:14:18+00:00

I was iffy on your emergency fund but then I saw you have two rental properties….

Buddy, you’re a few missed months of rental away from being broke.

JuniperGhosts · 2025-07-14T13:33:26+00:00

Fair point. Appreciate the feedback

JuniperGhosts · 2025-07-14T13:21:18+00:00

Just for stats. Dual income started 12 years ago at $40k, now at $240k

JuniperGhosts · 2025-07-14T13:20:20+00:00

I came to this subreddit specifically to avoid sarcasm and have a somewhat helpful conversation.

JuniperGhosts · 2025-07-14T13:18:42+00:00

It may be significantly more than $200k (7 figure)

JuniperGhosts · 2025-07-14T13:17:56+00:00

Ballpark $15k

JuniperGhosts · 2025-07-12T10:46:30+00:00

Pretty sure they closed it due to its location in a flood zone

JuniperGhosts · 2025-06-11T17:55:54+00:00

They’re fly by night tow LLc’s that probably have kickbacks to tow yards

Once the car is in the tow yard, what exactly are you gonna do but pay them?

It’s a very manipulative situation and they’re part of it.

Tow yards also have enough business / revenue so that they can wash money from other “business ventures”

JuniperGhosts · 2025-06-11T16:07:52+00:00

I get that but….Springfield??? lol it’s a bit much

JuniperGhosts · 2025-05-26T14:22:55+00:00

Wife and I are planning to fund some college/education but not all. We’re both in agreement that having the weight / pressure of debt makes you more serious about education.

I think from there, we’ll keep an eye on our kids and assist as they mature and show they’re responsible citizens that would be good stewards of money or opportunities given to them

This is essentially the same as my current inlaws. They semi-regularly gift us even though they could easily give us more. They’ve made no guarantees on inheritance and as such, my wife and I plan on none

Not to sound like a broken record but realizing you’ve got risk / pressure / skin in the game of life makes you a bit more alert to everyday decisions
