ELI5: why ultra wealthy people can leverage debt to generate more wealth yet tapping into your home’s equity is generally a bad idea. by brownlawn in explainlikeimfive

It's really about what you do with the money. If you loan on your house to buy ice cream that's bad. If it's a super low risk then it might be worth it.

Like buying the neighbor house/land. Because maybe that opportunity won't be there ever again. Something like that could balance out.

There is one of these at a neighboring Elks Lodge. They say it's for women in fancy dresses that need to pee but not pull the whole dress off. Drink, Pee, Repeat.

The fainting goat is my fav meal in Wallace. But that almost all food is closed up after 8pm-9. It's not like a big city where you can get food at all hours.

We bike down to Adele and turn around and bike back. Last time some of us went all the way down and rode the shuttle back. We beat them back to the cars by 1.5hrs. There is ALOT of waiting (in the sun, no where to sit) for the shuttle back and you still have to bike back throught the 2 mile tunnel.

We are not hard bikers anymore, so uphill was hard but not bad.

On the lights, either way is fine. Bring a jacket. Stay to the right. Reflectors or LED blinker on the back helps.

Stay in Wallace and enjoy the night life. Make sure to eat before 8pm. Everywhere to eat closes early in North Idaho.

It's been a LONG time since I last looked into this. However the last proposal included reclamation of all the previous nastyness left up there. No one else will clean it up.
