If you want to borrow $350k at 6.2%, a 30yr loan is $2,143 /mo, and you'll pay $421k in interest over the 30 years. A 50yr loan is $1,894/mo, and you'll pay $786k. So $250/mo less, and $365k more interest, which is more than the mortgage. Yes, 50yr mortgages would be a scam.

#memphis had a bigger crowd today than in June. Missed the brass band, but there were a few musicians, including a lady with a guitar and the song lyrics on her hat: "Left wing right wing chicken wing no king"

If Homan gets fired, it's for playing small ball, you gotta be big-time corrupt to be one of the players in this administration.

So strange in Europe to hear two people speaking heavily accented English to each other, but it has happened a few times this trip. You have to speak in what you have in common!

Had a long talk at the Memphis Farmer's Market with our favorite Mississippi farmer about how he saves melon seeds, hybridizes, how flavor changes as they sit in the field, watermelon's historic roots next to the Dead Sea, and his tastiest variety which was prone to cracking, so he quit growing it.

I haven't seen anything explaining what law allows the 10% "gift" of Intel. Or, do we just do what Trump says on social media now? Remember, Congress passed a law allowing the government to save the car companies.

While education spending is in the news, remember you don't save money by cutting spending, you are investing less, cutting our investment in our children.
