    High mortgage rates and unexpected expenses can really shake things up.

      I grew up in an area of Miami that is mostly made up of * middle-class Cuban Americans where just five years ago a house would cost 250-350k for the most part.
      Now the cheapest one goes for 600k. Forget working class being able to afford them. A professional lawyer, engineer, etc. would now struggle to buy a home in that same neighborhood. Something needs to change and it will change

      The ownership rate was noted to have peaked in 2004 in the other comment. Having previously peaked in the second quarter of 2020, we are currently at the median level. Between 2008 and 2012, it dropped by 3%, and by the second quarter of
      2020, it had dropped from 68 to 65.

      there are a few out there who know what they are doing. I tried a few in the past years, but I've been with Eric Paul Elmer for the last five years or so, and his returns have been pretty much amazing.

    We have 5 main sinking funds
    1 home repair
    2 auto maintenance
    3 vacation
    4 Christmas
    5 car ins (paid every 6 months, and I have teenagers 😲)
    When something goes wrong with house or car, we might not have the entire amount we need, but we usually have a good chunk.

    You need a pre-emergancy fund: house repairs like roofs and HVAC generally are not a true surprise. Tires again, if you pay attention, you can see that a year away. With used cars, always be saving every month for repairs. Same when owning a home; pipes leak, HVAC needs repairs, it's not if--but when and how $$.

    We have added more sinking funds envelopes and they don't get funded monthly. Just as we are able to add a few dollars here and there. It will help long haul.

    New tires are absolutely a sinking fund unless they get damaged. You know how long tires are good for, if not ask your shop. When you buy tires, start a singing fund that goes for like six years, then when your tires are getting old you have the money.

    • @VampireKa1n
      @VampireKa1n Місяць тому

      @@JddB229 Obviously when they're worn down to 3mm or less of tread you need to replace them, but I think once you hit six years even with good tread they should be replaced anyway.
      I have three cars and the year round car also has a set of winter tires, so they do last a lot longer for me.

    • @JddB229
      @JddB229 Місяць тому

      That's amazing. I live on a farm and drive A LOT of gravel roads. So my tires only last 2-3 years. I honestly couldn't remember how long my tires used to last from when I lived in a city, it was close to a decade ago. Oh and I also use winter tires for winter and switch them in the spring.

      @@JddB229 We'll find out! Up until 2018 or so I never really bought tires, always ended up changing cars before I needed to. I set my sinking funds for them to four years and will see how long they go. My oldest set on the IROC still look great so they'll definitely last that long.

    • @JddB229
      @JddB229 Місяць тому

      Honestly I think I always bought a new vehicle before the tires were worn out too haha! I used to buy a different (used vehicle and bought with cash every. Single. Time) vehicle every 2-4 years and lived in a city. So I guess that's why I never noticed haha!
