Veterans and New Credit Inquiries: Navigating Fresh Financial Opportunities

Greetings and welcome to Day 14 of our meticulously curated series, designed especially for our nation’s veterans. As they venture into the multifaceted domain of civilian credit, today we’ll explore the concept of new credit inquiries and its implications on credit health.

New Credit Inquiries Unveiled: What’s Behind the Hard Pull?

When you apply for a credit product, lenders usually perform a credit check to assess your creditworthiness. This is often termed as a “hard inquiry” or “hard pull”. New credit inquiries, which constitute these hard pulls, account for approximately 10% of your FICO score.

Why Veterans Should Be Informed about New Credit Inquiries

Each hard inquiry can slightly decrease your credit score. While a single inquiry might reduce your score by a few points, multiple inquiries in a short time frame can be more detrimental. This is vital for veterans, especially those freshly exploring diverse financial products in civilian life.

Navigating New Credit Inquiries: Best Practices

• Limit Applications: While it’s tempting to apply for various credit offers, it’s wise to limit applications to avoid multiple hard inquiries.

• Research Before Applying: Understand the credit product’s requirements. Applying for credit products you’re more likely to get approved for can minimize unnecessary inquiries.

• Rate Shopping: If you’re loan shopping (e.g., auto or mortgage loans), do so within a short window (typically 14-45 days, depending on the scoring model). Multiple inquiries during this period can count as a single inquiry.

Special Considerations for Veterans

• Post-Deployment Financial Overhaul: After coming back from deployments, some veterans might feel the urge to revamp their financial portfolios. While this is commendable, it’s essential to space out new credit applications.

• Utilizing Veteran-Specific Offers: Many institutions have special credit offers for veterans. Before diving in, understand if a hard inquiry will be initiated and its terms.

• Credit Education for Veterans: Take advantage of veteran-focused financial literacy programs that provide insights into managing and understanding new credit inquiries.

Potential Pitfalls in Managing New Inquiries

• Being Lured by In-Store Offers: Often, retail stores entice customers with immediate discounts on sign-up for their credit card. While the offer might seem lucrative, remember it comes with a hard inquiry.

• Ignoring Soft Inquiries: Not all credit checks are hard inquiries. Checking your credit score or getting pre-qualified offers are “soft pulls” that don’t affect your score. Knowing the difference is crucial.

• Overlooking the Long-Term: Hard inquiries remain on your report for two years, though their impact diminishes over time. Still, be mindful of their long-term presence on your credit report.

The Broader Canvas: Inquiries in the Grand Scheme of Credit

While new credit inquiries play a role in your credit score, they’re just one part of a larger picture. Payment history, credit utilization, and credit mix also have notable impacts. Veterans, known for their strategic planning and foresight, can approach credit inquiries as just one tactic in the broader strategy of credit management.

Closing Day 14: Paving the Path to Informed Financial Decisions

Every hard inquiry, every credit application, is a step on the journey of financial self-discovery. For our brave veterans, this journey is intertwined with their unique experiences and aspirations.

As we wrap up today’s chapter, our mission remains crystal clear: to equip our nation’s heroes with the knowledge and tools they need to confidently stride down the path of financial freedom.

Tune in for Day 15, as we delve deeper into the nuances of credit, ensuring our veterans stand tall and informed in the face of every financial crossroad.

Veterans and Credit Mix: Diversifying Your Financial Portfolio

Welcome to Day 13 of our comprehensive series committed to guiding our nation’s veterans through the vast ocean of credit intricacies. Today, we set our sights on the concept of credit mix. As our heroes make their way into civilian financial landscapes, recognizing the significance and management of diverse credit types can be pivotal for a wholesome credit profile.

Deciphering Credit Mix: Beyond Just Credit Cards

Your credit mix, or the variety of credit accounts you possess, makes up about 10% of your FICO score. This encompasses credit cards, retail accounts, installment loans, mortgage loans, and more. It reflects your ability to manage different types of credit responsibly.

Why Veterans Should Pay Attention to Credit Mix

A diverse credit mix can indicate to lenders that you’re adept at handling various forms of debt. While it’s not necessary to have one of each type of credit, showing experience across multiple types can be beneficial. For veterans transitioning into civilian financial ecosystems, understanding this facet can add another feather to their credit-building cap.

Building a Healthy Credit Mix: Tips and Strategies

• Start with What You Need: While diversifying is good, it’s essential to only take on credit you genuinely need and can manage. Don’t rush into various credit types just for the sake of variety.

• Consider Different Types of Loans: If you’re in a position to manage them, think about personal loans, auto loans, or a mortgage. These add depth to your credit mix.

• Retail Accounts and Their Role: Retail accounts, like those from department stores, can be part of your credit mix. But beware of high interest rates and always read the fine print.

Veterans and Their Unique Credit Mix Situations

• Service-Related Absences: Prolonged absences due to deployments or active duty can mean gaps in credit activity. On return, diversifying credit can help in enhancing your credit profile.

• VA Loans – A Unique Asset: VA home loans are a valuable asset for veterans, not just for their favorable terms, but also as a key component of their credit mix.

• Leveraging Military Lending Programs: Some financial institutions offer credit-building products tailored for military members and veterans, which can be a strategic addition to your credit mix.

Avoiding Pitfalls in Credit Mix Management

• Over-diversification: While a diverse credit mix is beneficial, overextending yourself with too many accounts can become unmanageable.

• Ignoring Account Maintenance: Diversity isn’t just about opening accounts; it’s about maintaining them. Ensure regular check-ins and timely payments across all accounts.

• Falling for Predatory Lenders: Especially for those eager to diversify their credit, it’s crucial to avoid lenders or offers that seem too good to be true.

The Bigger Picture: Harmonizing Variety with Responsibility

A harmonious credit mix isn’t just about accumulating different credit types. It’s about strategically integrating them into your financial narrative and ensuring each plays its part responsibly. For veterans, this means weaving in their unique financial experiences and leveraging the discipline and dedication they’ve embodied in service.

Concluding Day 13: Charting a Symphony of Financial Instruments

In the world of credit, variety is both an art and a science. It’s about crafting a symphony where each financial instrument plays its part, contributing to a melodious credit score.

As we conclude today’s insights, we reiterate our unwavering commitment to our veterans, ensuring that every nuance of credit, every strategy, and every opportunity is made accessible and understandable.

Join us for Day 14 as we continue our deep dive, helping our nation’s heroes craft their unique, empowered, and informed financial narratives.

The truth is that all of these loans still have the overlays of each lender, and it’s what the lender requires that matters. These SBA, HUD, USDA, and conventional loans are referrals; you only need to know some things. There are so many variations, exceptions, and special underwriting. Most nonrecourse loans still require personal guarantees; it is just that if the loan defaults, they will not come after your personal property unless there is fraud. Those carve-outs usually pertain to fraud. Fannie Mae often approves loans easier than Freddie Mac senior housing, student housing, affordable housing tax credit LIHTC usually has the highest LTVs. Often a non-profit will get 5% to 10% higher LTV. I will partner with these potential borrowers using my non-profit and HUD sponsorship status, taking 25% to 50% of the project.

Small balance loans from $1MM to $7 mm have an 80% LTV for apartments

The ascent and descent of Montgomery Ward plus Sears, Roebuck & Co. are among the most interesting tales in American retail history. The rise and fall of these two businesses are given as follows:

Montgomery Ward:

Origins: Aaron Montgomery Ward founded it in 1872. He also invented the mail-order catalog business concept.

It grew rapidly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, in the 1920s, retail stores.

Demise: In the mid-20th century, it struggled to compete against Sears. It should have adjusted to new retail landscapes. It suffered multiple bankruptcies followed by restructurings. Ultimately, it closed down operations in 2001.

Sears, Roebuck and Company:

Founding years: Richard Warren Sears and Alvah Curtis Roebuck started it in 1892. By the mid-20th century, it became America’s largest retailer. I ventured into insurance, real estate, financial services, etc.

Kenmore and Craftsman were some of the popular brands they introduced.

Fall: Competition from discount retailers like Walmart became too intense during the 1980s and 1990s. E-commerce, together with shifting consumer preferences, posed major challenges for them. Merged with Kmart in 2005 but still faced decline until recently when filing for bankruptcy protection. Since then, most stores have been closed except for a few remaining ones. Key factors contributing to their downfall include adapting to new retail trends and increasing rivalry from cheap vendors and online sellers. Leadership incompetence coupled with wrong strategic choices made over time. There is too much of a burden associated with upkeep costs for many physical outlets. These examples show how difficult it can be for companies within the retail sector to respond flexibly enough to changes in markets or customer demands.

Strengthening Your Financial Foundation

For many U.S. military veterans transitioning back to civilian life, the complexities of the financial world can seem daunting. Navigating the maze of credit scores, reports, and the implications of each decision on one’s financial health can be overwhelming. As we delve into Day 2 of our month-long series on credit repair for veterans, we’re focusing on credit basics – the fundamental knowledge every veteran should have about credit to lay a solid foundation for financial stability.

Understanding the Cornerstone: What is Credit?

In simple terms, credit is the trust which allows one party to provide money or resources to another party wherein the second party will repay the first party at a later date. In the modern financial landscape, credit usually comes with the understanding that there will be interest or additional charges involved.

For veterans, understanding credit is especially important. As you reintegrate into civilian life, credit will play a pivotal role in determining everything from the kind of house you can afford to the type of car loans you’ll qualify for.

The All-Important Credit Score

At the heart of the credit system lies the credit score, a numerical expression based on the analysis of a person’s credit files. This score, typically ranging from 300 to 850, is an indicator of your creditworthiness. Here’s what the numbers generally mean:

• 300 – 579: Poor

• 580 – 669: Fair

• 670 – 739: Good

• 740 – 799: Very Good

• 800 – 850: Excellent

The higher the score, the more financially trustworthy you appear to lenders. A higher score can translate into better interest rates, higher loan amounts, and more favorable financial opportunities. For veterans, a solid credit score can simplify the home-buying process, make car loans more affordable, and even play a role in job applications in certain sectors.

Diving Deeper: The Credit Report

Supporting this score is your credit report – a detailed record of your credit history. The report includes:

• Personal Information: Your name, address, social security number, and possibly employment information.

• Credit History: This encompasses credit cards, mortgages, student loans, and other borrowing activities.

• Public Records: This can include bankruptcies, tax liens, and civil judgments.

• Inquiries: A list of companies or entities that recently checked your credit report.

For veterans, it’s vital to check this report annually. The transition from military to civilian life can sometimes come with financial challenges, and it’s essential to ensure that all information on your report is accurate and reflects your financial habits.

Factors Affecting Your Credit Score

Several elements determine your credit score, including:

• Payment History (35%): The record of your on-time payments. Late payments can significantly harm your score.

• Credit Utilization (30%): How much of your available credit you’re using. It’s generally advised to keep this ratio below 30%.

• Length of Credit History (15%): The age of your oldest credit account, the age of your newest credit account, and an average age of all your accounts.

• Types of Credit in Use (10%): A mix of credit cards, retail accounts, installment loans, mortgage loans, etc.

• New Credit (10%): How often you’ve applied for and opened new credit accounts.

Understanding these factors is crucial for veterans. As you make financial decisions post-service, knowing what affects your score can help you make informed choices that bolster your financial health.

Empowering Veterans with Credit Knowledge

Knowledge is power. For veterans transitioning back into civilian life, understanding the ins and outs of credit can be an invaluable tool. This knowledge not only helps in immediate decisions, such as buying a car or home, but also long-term financial health, ensuring that the sacrifices and services rendered to the nation are met with financial stability and prosperity in civilian life.

As we journey through this month-long exploration into credit repair for veterans, our aim is clear: to equip our heroes with the knowledge and tools they need to thrive in the financial landscape. Today’s dive into credit basics sets the stage for more in-depth discussions, strategies, and insights, all tailored to help veterans shine in the world of credit.

I went to the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago Illinois to study metallurgical engineering which was borderline the Robert Taylor Housing Projects a gigantic subsidized Housing Project in Chicago’s most dangerous section, the near South Side by Comisky White Socks Baseball Park and near Chicago’s China Town. The Robert Taylor Homes was a notable Chicago public housing project. Here are some important facts about the development:

Location: It was in Bronzeville, a neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago.

Size and Scale: At its height, it was the biggest public housing development in the United States.

Construction: The Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) built it between 1959 and 1962 as part of an urban renewal program.

It is named after Robert Rochon Taylor who was an African American activist and also served as the first Black chairman of CHA.

Structure: The complex had 28 high-rise buildings, each one being 16 stories tall and containing 4,415 apartments.

Population: It held up to an estimated 27,000 residents at its peak time.

Demographics: Most inhabitants were African Americans living below poverty line.

Problems: With time this project came to be notorious for extreme levels of poverty, gang activity, crime among other things like these .

Decline: Declining living conditions due to poor maintenance; lack of resources; concentration of poverty .

Demolition : In accordance with Chicago’s Plan for Transformation , demolition started in 1998 and ended up seven years later – in 2007th .

Replacement : Area has been redeveloped with mixed-income houses under Legends South initiative since then till now .

Legacy : Standing as symbols for all that went wrong with high rise public housing projects across America; they also influenced future urban planning strategies entailing construction affordable homes within cities themselves.

The history behind Robert Taylor Homes mirrors wider problems faced by US cities during second half twentieth century such as racial segregation policy making on part local governments demarcating poor areas from those deemed suitable for whites only increased levels welfare dependency resulting from limited employment prospects among black communities etcetera thus becoming widely studied sociological phenomenon which continues informing debates over inner city regeneration schemes aimed at providing affordable accommodation options

My name is Wilson, and I’m an old leather baseball glove purchased in 1966 by my owner’s father for his tenth birthday. The joy I brought to that young boy was unimaginable. The gift was presented soon after the Baltimore Orioles beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 1966 World Series. Nothing made the boys’ dad more proud when the Orioles beat ‘Da Bums.” I was a tad stiff when I started out, but the constant pounding of a baseball into my pocket loosened me up. My boy would oil me regularly and keep me under his pillow when he slept.

The very next day after I arrived, I was taken to the sandlot to show off to all his baseball buddies. I was truly the center of the universe for the boy. Every day after school, my boy would run home and gather me up with bats and balls and head to the sandlot. I am made from cowhide, and my name, Wilson, is stitched on my wrist. My lacing is hand-sewn with all the appropriate knots. My outer shell is durable and can withstand all types of weather, while my inside is soft and cushioned. I can still feel the perspiration of my boy; his fingers were molded to the exact shape of my insides.

I thought for years my name was “I got it.” When ever a ball was hit to my boy, he would start to run in the outfield, and after a good chase, he would yell, “I got it!” So I called myself. “I got it, Wilson.” Each summer was always anticipated with great pleasure. I played game after game all season long, and even when baseball season was over, I was still playing against the garage. Always ready to play catch with my boy, his dad would join us and teach my boy all the rules of baseball.

We hung out all through high school, and I was always in his Baltimore Oriole duffle bag. We were both back out on the field after school every day, if not playing a game, just playing catch. Oh, how I miss playing catch. That was 1978, when he graduated high school and went off to college, but I didn’t make the trip, and here I sit.

I would be brought out occasionally when he got older, and he played softball with his pals when he came home. Softball is not the same; the ball is too big and heavy. I much prefer a real baseball. As the years passed, I was used less and less. I no longer slept with my boy, and at times I felt I was simply not of use to him. I was regulated to the garage, where I sit on the top shelf behind the Christmas decorations, far out of site. I hope some day I can be used again. I am ready to go in coach. Play me; don’t make me sit and gather dust. As time passes, now, after three years, I wonder my fate. I am old and stiff, probably riddled with arthritis. I wish my boy would oil me again; ah, it felt so good! Alas, my fate, oh, wait, someone is coming. I hear the garage door open. They’re walking towards me; they’re moving the boxes in front of me. Can it be freedom again? No, no, don’t walk away! It was the Christmas decoration they needed. One more holiday spent without my boy. It will soon be 1982, and he should be finished with college. Maybe when he comes home we can play catch agin if this old piece of rawhide will hold together with its tattered, leather lacing.

At last, great joy! My boy is home, and we can play catch! It has been years since he held me. Why isn’t he coming into the garage? Doesn’t he miss me? Oh boy, it’s Wilson. Remember me? Remember, “I got it.” Wait, here he comes. Finally, he is moving the boxes away. He’s coming for me. Please oil me; he’s walking away! He needed more Christmas lights for the tree. He did glance at me, didn’t he? I’ll wait; he will come for me.

Boy, am I getting dusty back here? My boy has been home for a year, and we haven’t played catch. He has forgotten me. I am so lonely; I wish I had a baseball to hold on to. I recall the first day he got me. Where is that magic? You showed me off to your friends; you carried me everywhere. You oiled me and kept me flexible. Now I am dried up and cracking, and that hurts. Whenever I cry, the cracks get worse. I must be used, or I will wither away.

I haven’t seen my boy in three years since he came home from college, not even a softball game with his buddies. I am so lost. Where do I belong? I remember kids talking about a hall of fame where special gloves, bats, and balls go when they are famous. I’m not famous; I never left Maryland. Someday I will be on the field shagging fly balls, feeling the summer sun on me. I miss the sweat from my boy. Here he comes again. I am not getting my hopes up high; I have been disappointed too many times in the past. Slowly, he moves the dozens of boxes of Christmas decorations. I am far in the back, and every year I get pushed further back. I hear him getting closer. “There you are, my old pal Wilson; I’ve been looking for you!” Looking for me, I have waited over ten years for you; this is where you left me. “ Gotta get you oiled and flexible again.” I’m being oiled!!! Horray! Finally, we can play catch. He is putting me in the car; where are we going? “Hey Wilson I have a surprise for you—someone new to play with.” I’m given a second chance to run around the outfield and scoop up ground balls at third base. Boy, oh, boy, baseball! Hurry up, I’m twenty-eight years old; that must be a hundred in glove years.

We entered what appeared to be his new home, much better than my last place. He walks over to a crib with a baby boy dozing. “Son,I want you to meet Wilson.” Slowly, the baby wakes up, and a smile is brought to his face. Oh, how cute. What’s that? You’re putting me in the crib to get to know the baby! This can’t be. He’s putting me in his mouth; he’s chewing my laces! Make him stop, boy, please! Suddenly, the baby throws me out of the crib. What’s that? You didn’t like the way I tast. I’m a genuine, 100% rawhide from a cow; a kid must be a vegan.“ Here, son, sleep with Wilson as I once did. Before you know it, you and I will be playing catch with Wilson. Soon after that, Wilson will be yours.” I have a new home, the boy’s boy! I will play catch, run down fly balls, and stop those nasty one-hoppers in the infield, and most importantly, I get to hear, “I got it.”

Allan Greenspan is remembered as the man who broke America. Alan Greenspan: Biography, Professional Life and Legacy

Beginnings of His Career and Education

Born on March 6, 1926, in New York City, Alan Greenspan grew up in a Jewish family that nurtured his talents in mathematics, economics, and music from an early age. He attended Juilliard School, where he studied clarinet and saxophone before transferring to New York University, earning a bachelor’s degree in economics summa cum laude in 1948. In 1950, he received his master’s degree in economics and a Ph.D. from NYU, completing it in 1977.

Career Highlights

Private Sector:

Alan sharpened his economic analysis skills in the early 1950s at the National Industrial Conference Board (now known as The Conference Board).

In 1954, he co-founded Townsend-Greenspan & Company Inc., an economic consulting firm that provided economic analysis and forecasting for corporations and financial institutions.

Public Sector:

From 1974 through 1977, he served under President Gerald Ford as Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, which, among other things, dealt with inflation during those years, which had been ravaging many economies around the globe, including the US economy.

He was appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1987 to be chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank until his retirement in 2006, having served four presidents, namely Reagan, Bush, and Clinton.

Federal Reserve Years

Monetary Policy: Known for being cautious about adjusting interest rates when necessary so as not to interfere with efforts towards controlling inflation through monetary policies adopted by the Fed under leadership such as him, who were most concerned about their primary function, which was maintaining price stability over long term horizon within USA economy thereby contributing significantly towards growth sustainability over the period while still catering for employment creation needs especially during booms but also managing threats posed by recessions which may emerge along business cycles accordingly.

Economic Crises: During his tenure, financial crises occurred, such as Black Monday 1987, the Savings and Loan Crisis of the late 1980s, and the Dot Com Bubble Bursting in the early 2000s. He successfully managed all these crises, hence earning him a reputation worldwide for stabilizing economies through appropriate measures taken at such critical moments.

Criticism: Some people blamed Greenspan because they believed that his support of low-interest rates in the fire of the 21st century contributed significantly to hesitantly towards, the housing bubble le, thereby causing the global financial meltdown Great Recession, implied as the Great Reces2007 and occurred between the years 2007 and 2008.

Legacy and Influence

Economic Philosophy: Many describe him as a libertarian who advocated for free market economics. According to this school of thought, government intervention should be minimal, if any, since markets are self-regulating.

Publications: he has published several books, including “The Age Turbulence: Adventures New World” (2007). In these, he shares personal experiences throughout his lifetime, especially during periods when various economic policies were being formulated or implemented by different governments around the globe, hence gaining insights on what works best under given circumstances within such volatile environments.

Post-Fed Career: after leaving office, I founded Greenspan Associates LLC. This advisory firm still contributes greatly towards shaping future generations through mentorship programs designed specifically for those pursuing careers in the financial management services industry.

Personal Life

Alan married Andrea Mitchell, a journalist, in 1997. He is known to be a very private person and often engages in other intellectual pursuits besides his work, like studying philosophy or playing musical instruments such as the piano. Alan Greenspan’s life and Career have been one of the most influential in modern history. In particular, his time served at the Federal Reserve Bank will forever remain pivotal for inflation control and local and international crisis management, even though some may argue about its long-term implications. Nonetheless, it cannot be denied that this man has greatly shaped our current economic landscape nationally and globally.

It is no secret Joe Scarborough is Joe and Jill Biden’s number one ass kisser. Joe Scarborough has brought five star coverage of Joe Biden and unanimously crowned 👑 himself Joe Biden’s number one ass kissing freak show. Scarborough is thought about as the World’s biggest idiot and nobody respects him nor his show. He seems he’s more mentally ill than Joe Biden and is in the state of denial about how bad the economy is under Joe Biden’s watch. However, after Thursday’s Presidential debate with former President Donald Trump, the Biden Ass Kissing Freak Joe Scarborough 😜 seems he’s calling it TRUCE. Watch this video clip.

Phone rings: “Hello, this is the home of the next president, Jill speaking.”

Hello, Mrs. Vice President, It is George Stephanapoulos. I hope all is well. May I please speak to the president?”

“Joe, the phone is for you; it’s George; he wants to talk about the next debate.”

“Hello, George, how is Martha?” “Pardon me, Mr. President, it’s George Stephanapoulos, not George Washington.” “I’m sorry, George. I just woke from my nap.”

“Mr. President, it’s only 10 a.m.” “Yes, I realize that. My naps are very important.”

“My first question, sir, is: “How do you plan to help the economy?”

“Depends,” “Can you elaborate a bit more?”

“Depends,” “Okay, then, Mr. President, how will you help the immigration problem?”

“Depends,” “is this the way your answers will go during the debate?”

“Depends,” “one final question that the whole country wants to know: boxers or briefs?”

“Depends.”

Joe and Jill went up the Hill, for nearly 50 years

When Joe fell down he gave his crown

To Jill before he drowned

Jill wore the crown without a frown

Joe and Kamala were in tears

Jill stayed on the Hill until it was time

To send sleepy Joe to his early bedtime

Kamala waited and waited for Joe to wake

Jill shook Joe but it was too late

So the two planned another date

Jill and Kamala went up the Hill

And lived for twenty more years

They ruled without any fears

Until one day when when it was still

Donald Trump had his fill

And they all come tumbling down

Does anyone k now or have confirmation of who the Presidential candidates as well as their Vice President running mates are for the Presidential Election of 2024? I know former President Donald Trump has the Republican nomination for President but who will be Donald Trump’s Vice President pick? It seems like former President Donald Trump does not have a good track record of appointing loyal team members. All of his picks for top positions have turned on him including Mike Pence as his Vice President, Rod Rosenstein as his Attorney General, James Comey as his FBI Director, Nikki Haley, Mark Meadows as his Chief of Staff, and dozens of other key cabinet members he chose. As for Joe Biden, is he on planning to run another four years? Will Kamala Harris be his Vice President? There is a lot of rumors from both sides of the isle that Joe Biden is too old to run at 81 years old and Michelle Obama may be the runner up for the Democrats. Its almost July and the Election of 2024 will be in a few months which is right around the corner. Whoever the runner up is, hope the Democrat candidate will be truthful, transparent, not lie, and most important of all, be competent and have the United States at heart and best interest of American. The economy is in bad shape, inflation out of control, unemployment rate at an all time high. American worker’s wages are down 20% from 2019 while the price of goods and services are double. Homeownership is out of the question for middle American wage earners.

What are barndominiums? Barnominiums seem to be very popular and many homebuyers and second homebuyers are talking about buying barndominiums. One of the most significant negatives of purchasing a Barndominum versus stick built homes is the difficulty in financing. What are the lending guidelines of barndominiums.

I am diligently doing my due diligence on adopting either a Doberman Pinscher or a German Shepherd puppy or young adult once I close on my first home. Can anyone tell me the character between Doberman Pinschers and German Shepherds? My wife and I never had a large dog. We have young children and small dogs and cats. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Gov.Ron DeSantis announced a bill to increase Homestead exemption. Currently, you can be assessed on $75,000, that wu=I’ll increase to $125,00. Needs 60% to pass.

Dogo Argentino is a very unique and expensive dog. Those who want to adopt a Dogo Argentino should study up and research the breed before pulling the trigger. I will give you a bunch of information about the Dogo Argentino. The breed was created in Argentina by Dr. Antonio Nores Martinez in the 1920s. It was made from various kinds of dogs including the extinct Cordoba Fighting Dog, Great Dane, Boxer, Spanish Mastiff, Old English Bulldog, Bull Terrier, Great Pyrenees, Pointer and Irish Wolfhound. You can buy a Dogo Argentino from reputable breeders who specialize in them or you could check out some breed-specific rescue centers too! Some general dog rescues might have one every now and then also.

Socialization is important when raising a Dogo Argentino. Early socialization is key—consistent training from an early age should be provided as well as lots of exercise and mental stimulation too. Establish yourself as the pack leader through proper nutrition and regular vet check ups. Engage them in activities that challenge them both physically & mentally.

The temperament of this breed is loyal and protective over its family but also confident & courageous – though sometimes stubborn or independent with other animals if not properly socialized.

Size: Males: 24-26.5 inches (61-67 cm) tall; 88-100 lbs (40-45 kg) Females: 23.5-25.5 inches (60-65 cm) tall; 88-95 lbs (40-43 kg)

Personality: -Affectionate with family -Protective & alert -Smart & athletic -Determined

Male vs Female: -Males are usually bigger and more dominant. -Females may be more independent but easier to train.

Colors: Mostly white with small dark patches on head

Trainability: -Moderately easy to train but can be stubborn. -Require firm consistent training. – Respond well to positive reinforcement

Good with kids and small dogs: – They can be good with children if raised with them and properly socialized. – High prey drive, so caution is needed around small dogs and other pets.

Cost: -From a breeder: $1,500 to $5,000. -Adoption fees from rescues: $300 to $800.

Lifespan of a Dogo Argentiono ranges between 10 to 12 years on average.

Dogo Argentinos need high exercise (1-2 hours daily) and moderate grooming. Dogo Argentino may be banned or restricted in some areas due to breed-specific legislation, like other dogs, such as Pit Bulls, Cane Corso, Old English Mastiff, Great Danes, German Shepherds, Doberman Pinschers, and Rottweilers. It is not recommended for first-time dog owners due to their strong personalities and exercise needs. Keep in mind that each dog has its own unique personality so training should always be done carefully with positive reinforcement methods used consistently throughout the process of teaching anything new especially commands which could save lives later on when they are older but still young at heart like most big breeds!

Yo, how ya doing? This is a typical greeting in New York. It really isn’t a question, because no one gives a shit about “how ya doing.” New Yorkese is a language onto itself, “dees and deems.” Once you learn this language, it stays with you forever. Caw-fee is coffee in New York, but a regular caw-fee comes is with cream and sugar. There are so many nuances and when you meet a fellow New Yorker, the lingo and pronunciation return instantly.

I have been saying “Yo” all my life, “Yo Vinny, Yo Tony.” It in essence means “hey,” not hello.

I moved out west, and everyone knew where I was from. It was like having a big sign on your shirt saying, “Yo, I’m from New York.” For twenty-four years, my accent got watered down. One trip back, just one trip, and I spoke like I was auditioning for “Godfather, you can’t lose it!

I was on a social media site recently called “New Yorkers that have moved to Florida.” One of your typical bullshit sites, I seldom post anything, I just read. One time I had to answer the post when the comment was made, “If you say “y’all,’ in Florida, you are not from New York.” That I took offense to, I was offended.

First of all, out of all the New Yorkers living in Florida, I have not one, not a single one, born in New York. If you mail a letter and address it New York, New York, it goes to Manhattan, not Brooklyn, Queens of Upstate New York. I was born on 21st Street and 1st Avenue at Manhattan General Hospital. To a native Manhattanite, Central Park is upstate. When I hear, “I’m from New York,” and I ask where, “Albany,” not New York, New York,.

Yo, how y’all doing? A combo of north and south. Not only do I use y’all, I use it in writing. I have family in New Orleans and Mississippi. The ones born there taught the non-natives what to use in their speech. Not only do I say y’all, I can also explain when to use “all y’all.” Y’all are used to speaking to a small group of people; y’all know what I’m saying.” When speaking to a large crowd, it’s all y’all. “All of you.”

Yo, I hope, “All y’all got it!
