4 home-buying tips from my CNN interview:
1. Think beyond the mortgage. Plan for taxes, insurance, utilities etc.
2. Drive 'til you qualify. Venture out further for cheaper homes & to qualify 4 a mortgage.
3. Use down payment assistance programs. 🤑
4. Choose an ARM for a lower interest rate.

Trump fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner after poor July jobs data. Talk about shooting the messenger! 🤦🏽♀️
But Erika McEntarfer didn’t create weak job growth. She just measured & reported it.
Trump firing her is like a CEO firing the CFO because he didn’t like quarterly earnings. SMH

Welp. Say a prayer for the 16 million+ Americans about to lose healthcare now that the House just passed the Trump’s budget bill. Take a look at the picture below and see how many people in your state will lose coverage. And let’s not talk about cuts to food stamps, Medicare etc.

Don’t call it Black Monday. It’s #OrangeMonday — a market crash due to reckless trade policies, not fundamentals.
This isn’t natural volatility. It’s avoidable economic pain driven by Trump’s arbitrary decisions.
Your 401(k), college fund & savings deserve better.

The Great Pyramid: 4500 years standing, 2.3M stones, engineering perfection.
It got me thinking - financial freedom is built the same way as these monuments. One. Block. At. Time.
Africa → America → Financial bridges. Egypt now; next #Rwanda!
Who's ready to build something that lasts millennia? ✋

Pro tip to those dealing w/ the wildfires:
DO apply for FEMA/federal aid but DON’T count solely on the feds.
Tap into local/regional aid from nonprofits like Team Rubicon, Red Cross & the National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster Relief (VOAD).
They give immediate food, shelter, $$ etc.

Why would Elon Musk or anyone else even think of getting rid of the CFPB? 🤯
Just look at what they've done:
1️⃣ Protected us from predatory lenders with $3B+ in consumer relief via enforcement actions in 2023 alone.
2️⃣ Stopped unfair student loan collections on loans discharged in bankruptcy.
