Thanks for checking in on us, Larry, but we are doing fine :).
Since we own our own houses and are free and clear, so our housing costs are more or less fixed even during inflationary periods.
Also, since some of us work in tech , we don’t double double and gamble a lot on one hit one wonder stock trades as a primary financial strategy. In fact, yesterday was a great day for biweekly DRIP auto invest into index funds.
One of my tenants lease is coming up again too. I’ve already mentioned I’d be raising his monthly to $1650, from $1550 to cover the increased cost from inflation. He wasn’t thrilled but given that a comparable not rents $1850, he isn’t moving.
Business at company is doing fine too. We’re doing like 3x transactions from same time last year… now that people are itching to go in staycations…so our numbers came in way better than expected. Ceo is happy, and we get additional RSU stock grants while the markets are down… Woohoo…
