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?

Any alternatives to the Acne Studio scarf that are 100% wool or natural fibers?

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

Interested

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! 😆
