Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Will Housing Prices Fall In 2026?
Q: Is selling your home in retirement and using the proceeds to rent a good strategy?
Renting can provide flexibility and relieve the burden of home maintenance, especially for older adults looking to downsize.
Will Housing Prices Fall In 2026?
Q: Do you think we'll finally see housing prices fall in 2026?
Given the current market conditions and buyer sentiment, it's plausible to think that housing prices could stagnate; however, significant drops are rare due to various economic factors and demographics.
How Much Longer Will the Bull Market Last?
Q: Do you think the 60-40 portfolio should be reevaluated in light of increased government spending and inflation?
Yes, with rising correlations, it might be necessary to seek diversifiers beyond bonds for traditional asset allocations.
How Much Longer Will the Bull Market Last?
Q: What do you think the right goal is for inflation?
Historically, a 3% inflation rate could be seen as the new normal due to various global economic factors.
How Does the 4 Year Rule Work?
Q: Is it smart to use buy now, pay later to invest the difference?
It might not be wise since the buy now, pay later often doesn't develop credit and carries risks; instead, using a rewards credit card could be a better option.
