What was said around it

when things go down likewise if you're looking to refinance or buy a home you take the risk that interest rates might be going up by the time you're ready to do that i'm a firm believer that you should only buy real estate that you intend to hold long term with a price that you could comfortably afford regardless of what happens so if you have a chance to find that right home and lock in a low interest rate i would go for it knowing that whatever the price is in the short term doesn't really make much of a difference and listen regardless of what happens historically the market has shown that long term it's going to continue going up this article from forbes breaks down the returns from each president since 1926 and as you can see the chart is always going up decade over decade so in terms of what you could do about this number one you could smash the like button for the youtube algorithm two you could do your best to budget and cut back on unnecessary spending so you have more money left over to save three you could continue reinvesting back into the markets week after week regardless of what happens four you could continue to learn and educate yourself on the aspects of personal finance
