Wife and I bought Nov 2021. Locked in at 3.25%. Bought a good house in a decent neighborhood. Feel great about it.

I’m chilling. Legit my biggest source of anxiety is doomscrolling. There’s always some crisis going on, but when I look at my life and people around me, we’re all doin pretty well.

Some of them fail occasionally. The problem account I have (out of 20+) is my Mohela student loans, but I just reconnect it every few months since the balance doesn’t change much.

My wife and I use Monarch Money. It’s good, but not free.

Jordan won’t take them because the Palestinians assassinated their king, created a civil war in Jordan, and tried to assassinate their next king.
Lebanon won’t take them because they keep joining Hezbollah.
Egypt won’t take them because they keep joining up with Muslim Brotherhood and trying to destabilize the government.
Syria won’t take them because they’re in the middle of a civil war.
Iran won’t take them because they’re more useful as a tool to destabilize Israel.

Am I missing anyone?

Al Jazeera is Qatari state media. The Qatari government has close ties to Hamas, so there is significant bias.
