    Ok so the blame lies on the government and consumers. These are obviously very serious people.

    In the spirit of further tackling inflation I decided to shop my car insurance since Geico for me has gone from $1400/year to $2100/year over the last 12 months.

    State Farm was able to get me better car coverage, renters and a $1M umbrella for less than my Geico car premium. Ez decision and wtf is Geico gouging?

    I have no metrics to back this up but I think insurance companies will raise rates knowing a decent number of people will stick with them out of convenience rather that shopping around. They just got greedy with you and raised em too fast.

    She may (and looks like) she sucks but that idea is shared amongst the institutional community right now. I’m sure she read it in a newsletter and decide to add her own spin on it.

    Pure brag post but I’ve crossed the 4% SWR for FIRE. :feelsgoodman:

    I’ve moved my final target to 3.5% purely out of my brokerage (401k is only ~10% of my worth) which leaves me 12-24 months away as long as the markets move somewhat close to historic averages.

    Just bought some BXMT.
    The price dropped down below $18 and they haven’t changed their $.62 (quarterly) dividend so my maths says that it’s almost a 14% dividend yield.
