That’s easy. Hey, all the bailout money, funds spent on the war effort, the near zero interest rates, etc., etc., will have to be paid for. And we know what the price is: high inflation. We do know. We lived through that in the 1970s.
Given the high-inflation environment in front of us, owning RE is actually a good move. If you borrow money, you’ll end up paying peanuts in mortgage payments after only a few years. Plunge in.

Are you kidding? You are buying an option! Anthropology is a great field, but you need to talk to an economist about things of value (they are fellow social scientists, after all).
What really bothers me is that women still expect to receive diamonds, even though we know that the diamond trade generates a whole deal of violence in Africa. Teenaged boys (sometimes women and girls too) are mutilated or killed, entire populations are displaced, weak governments finally collapse and chaos ensues, etc., etc.
Isn’t it time girls say, “hey, to hell with tradition, I don’t want a gift that causes so much blooshed”?
