It’s as simple as this: as long-term interest rates continue moving higher, virtually every important piece of financial math gets worse, all at the same time. The discount rate used to value stocks rises, which makes future earnings worth less today. Mortgages get more expensive. Corporate borrowing gets more expensive. Private equity deals and private […]
Cost of living continues to be one of the most powerful forces shaping where Americans choose to move.

That recipe card looks well used. And I read the recipe for the pumpkin pie. I found it’s actually not too unhealthy. No added lard. Just the fat that is in the piecrust and the evaporated milk. And not that much sugar considering you’re making an entire pie with that amount.

Yes. The photo was taken a few weeks ago in Lake Conroe TX at our niece’s wedding. The Boss and I are rarely dressed up so this picture is a keeper. Our niece and her husband are stopping over for T-Day and will continue their trek on Friday to have T-Day with his family at the grandparent’s place in Wichita KS. Our brother-in-law (not the father of this niece) is also up from TX. So we’ll have five adults and one Aussie today. The dog bowls are already out and I have TREATS.
