I wish my phone never ran out of battery and my fridge never ran out of food.

Today, when I stepped outside, I got nailed by a bird. But I’m still going back outside tomorrow.

Don’t you hate it when you get on your own nerves??!!!!

Can anyone tell me what to do when life offers you an orange…?

Wigs are made of your hair that gets caught in the drain.

 

Now The Market Report . . .

 

Mortgage rates have shown more volatility from day-to-day recently. Overall, rates have hovered at recent lows.

The rate of retail sales growth is expected to slow in 2019 amid cooling economic conditions. Still, retail sales are forecast to rise between 3.8% and 4.4%.

The U.S. trade deficit dropped 11.5% in November, falling for the first time in 6 months. The decrease in imports followed 5 straight months of increases.

 

The recent drop in mortgage rates has helped spark greater demand for housing. Many buyers are out shopping, hoping for a quick deal before rates rise.

Data shows luxury house flipping has risen in several markets throughout the nation. However, it’s still low relative to the years before 2008.

A Fed study shows student loan debt plays a significant role in keeping many in the 24 to 32 age group from buying a home.
