I get it. Sometimes the best investing advice is to not look at your balances except at long intervals if you’re objective is long term. I survived the lost decade.
10 year Treasury is 4.30%.
First home insurance offer was a $5k price increase. Ouch. Wife started looking harder. We finally found new homeowner insurance that’s only $1k higher. Strangely, it feels like a win considering the situation.
We’ll see what next year or two bring on cancellations. Third insurance...
AI hallucination is real.
I bought my sons Lifetime licenses when they graduated high school. My idea was to make sure I could hunt with them if they left the state in the future, no gaming of the draw system. Both are still Idaho residents.
The Idaho lifetime residency license doesn’t require Idaho residency to use it if you leave the state after you purchase it. Holders of the lifetime license not living in the state are in the resident pool for tag drawings but pay NR tag prices if drawn.
I sold all my long springs a few years ago. The funds were invested into Swaro.
In my case, I switched how I was trapping and the long springs weren’t being used. Market price for them had risen significantly. I made a decent profit.
I’ve lost probably 50 saplings in the last 20 years to elk. They bust my irrigation heads too when drinking water. Tear rocks walls down climbing into landscaping, etc. My property looks like Auschwitz now with all the electric wire.
I don’t shoot elk on my property but know the temptation...
