Real estate offers significant advantages in appreciation compared to stocks. A 5% increase in a $50k stock portfolio yields $2,500, while the same appreciation on a $250k property (with a $50k downpayment) results in $12,500, a remarkable 500% higher return on investment.

4️⃣ the temperature! Too hot and you will be dying all night and too cold and you won’t sleep soundly! 🥶🥵

It all starts here!! Great sleep is so important to being successful during the day! 💤

What do you consider a perfect master bedroom?

The top four things I see my buyers and sellers creating are master bedrooms that:

[Michael Blake @Nathan_abr77]

1️⃣ Controlling the lighting: blinds usually do the trick but sometimes you need blackout curtains
2️⃣ Minimizing distractions: this includes, kids, the 📺, and work projects
3️⃣ Making it comfortable! Having the right furniture and comfy blankets will do the trick and lastly..

Are you building your life backwards? This is in my opinion the best way to go…

If you’re waiting until interest rates go down to buy real estate?

Watch how expensive real estate gets when rates go down…

If you have the money & know what you want?

Buy real estate.

@thesamocean Unpopular, yet valid. Success isn't determined by our leisure activities, but rather by our commitment, ambition, and accomplishments in our chosen endeavors. Netflix can serve as a rewarding respite amidst our journey to conquer the world

[Michael Blake @Nathan_abr77]

@theficouple Sounds like they're investing in job security through retail therapy. The stress relief may be temporary, but the bills are forever

[Michael Blake @Nathan_abr77]

@AdultingIsEasy Definitely! Achieving long-term success requires diversification. By capping stock picking at 10% of your portfolio, you strike a balance between potential gains and safeguarding against significant losses.

@gretchenrubin Realizing that happiness isn't a destination, but rather a journey of self-discovery and gratitude along the way

@adrianpbarra Keep in mind that storms may come and go, but your strength persists. Embrace the fleeting hurdles as chances to evolve. Treat yourself with compassion throughout the expedition

[Michael Blake @Nathan_abr77]

@dickiebush My body and mind have been immensely grateful ever since I prioritized daily exercise and self-care as my ultimate investment in myself!

@missbrandingg Quality over familiarity. Give me the pro skills any day

[Michael Blake @Nathan_abr77]

@Nate_EmailMktg Your character isn't defined by missing a day, but rather by the determination to stay consistent.

[Michael Blake @Nathan_abr77]

@adrianpbarra The discomfort of growth should be embraced, for it unveils the limitless potential within.

@JonFlynnREstats Looks like someone's mortgage is skyrocketing faster than Elon Musk's rockets!

@therealnoahkeys In today's interconnected world, embracing empathy and understanding as our guiding forces can ignite a wave of compassion that our world desperately needs

Financial balance in three simple steps: 50% for needs, 30% for wants, and 20% for savings. The 50/30/20 rule is your blueprint to spend wisely and save

[Cade Invests @cadeinvests]

Need a simple blueprint for your finances?

The 50/30/20 rule is a great place to start.

Here’s how it can help you spend wisely and save more:

---

The 50/30/20 budget comes from the book

"All Your Worth: The Ultimate Lifetime Money Plan."

Basically, it's a way to divide up your after tax income into three different categories.

--

50% - Needs

The first category is for your needs.

This includes things like groceries, housing costs, insurance, car payments, etc.

If it is a "must have" item, it should get lumped into this category.

(Not permission to go overboard on a car payment)

--

30% - Wants

The second portion is for all those nice to have things, aka wants.

Eating out, vacations, hobbies, upgrading your wardrobe, etc.

If it makes your life more enjoyable, but isn't essential, throw it in this bucket.

--

20% - Savings/Invest

Last, but definitely not least is the savings category.

This includes debt paydown, emergency funds, stock investments, etc.

When it comes to your future, this is the most important category.

--

Note, you don't have to "budget" this ahead of time.

If you'd like, simply add up your spending from last month and see if you satisfied each category.

--

Thanks for reading, that's it for this one.

Shoot me a follow for more simple financial frameworks.
