Two weeks without mobile internet improved mental health more than antidepressants and reversed roughly 10 years of attentional decline.
Screen time dropped 49% (314 to 161 min/day).
Great turnout for our panel on “IR Training: The Ideal Intern Year?”
Thankful to everyone that came out, my stellar panelists, and to @SIRspecialists for selecting us for this session. Hoping we can build on this for SIR 2027.
Future is bright for IR! #SIR2026#UVAIR

I'm doing some back of the envelope math on buying vs renting.
Say you buy a $1M house with 20% down at about 6% mortgage rate and plan to stay there for five years.
Your principal paydown in the first five years is about $57,000, but you've paid about $230,000 in interest.
You've also paid roughly $100,000 in property taxes, insurance, and maintenance.
Say the house appreciated 2.5% every year — so when you sell it's worth about $1.13 million.
Your all-in costs to sell are about 7.5% — brokerage commissions, transfer taxes, attorney fees, title insurance, and the inevitable post-inspection negotiation. On a $1.13M sale that's about $85K in fees.
So you net about $1.046M. You still owe $743K on the mortgage. You walk away with about $303K in cash — your $200K down payment back, your $57K in principal, and about $46K in net profit from appreciation.
Your non-recoverable costs — interest, property tax, insurance, maintenance — were about $330K over five years, or about $5,500/month. That's your effective rent.
But you "made" $46K selling, or about $770/month — so your effective rent was about $4,700/month.
Not bad, but you tied up $200K for five years to get there. And if appreciation was 1.5% instead of 2.5%, that net gain basically disappears and you're paying $5,400+/month in effective rent.
And this assumes there's appreciation at all — and that something doesn't go wrong with your house that needs a major remodel or repair.
On a five-year horizon at 6% rates, you need everything to go right on appreciation just to make ownership competitive with renting.
The transaction costs eat most of your upside.
What am I missing? Anything?
