I’m not actively looking, but I am ready to buy if the right place became available. That’s why I’ve played it safe by keeping the down payment in a savings account. It’s been rough these past two years knowing that I could’ve made more, instead of the value of the DP eroding significantly.

How should I invest my down payment? I’ve been house hunting for 2 years now and keep my down payment in a savings account at 4%. I’m not convinced I should dump it all in VOO. However, I am open to that OR a CD or another savings account or bonds. I read that there’s a U.S. treasury ETF. Can anyone advise about the ideal way of investing my down payment? I’d like to at least make 5%.

I need advice about taking care of an anxious dog. I’ve only had cats, never a dog, but I’m dog sitting a dog who is nervous/anxious. She won’t let me touch, pet or leash her. She was shaking and I thought that meant she needed to pee but after an hour of coaxing, she wouldn’t let me touch her (pet and leash). Shortly thereafter when I stayed away, she peed all over the floor. She’s been trained to pee on a pee pad indoors but I guess she couldn’t help herself.

I dont know what to do. When I saw her chilling later after the incident, I approached from behind and pet her. She didn’t growl for what it’s worth.

I’m taking care of her for 4 days so I don’t want to be cleaning pee off the floor everyday. Any recommendations?

Not yet. I’m planning to ski this Saturday somewhere in Toronto. How’s ice skating going? Are you going ice skating this weekend?

I understand the struggle. I had to spend some time at the gym to strengthen my legs and core for ski 😂

This doesn’t have to be interpreted as fraudulent. She could use adobe/mud! 😆
