I cannot stay away from matters of real estate. I have had a fascination with real estate since the late 70's. I was in junior high school at the time. (
Boomer lies sometimes. This is one of those places where it is best to just smile and nod and not make any sudden moves. )
Actually, I like to learn what I can about money stuff in general. There is nothing sophisticated about the self-educating I have been doing for a lot of years. It's just an interest.
For anyone who does not know about this program but might be interested, I am linking you here to one of my favorite sources for that unsophisticated self-education of mine. This is NPR's "Marketplace Money." This is the weekend edition which is on for an hour.
Several topics each week are given a little once-over. This is the one from last weekend. Real estate is among the many topics visited. You can listen if you want to while you continue to read TOTV or whatever. That's what I do sometimes.
It was either this past weekend's show or the one before where, if I am remembering it right, somebody said to keep an eye on California because as goes California so goes the nation where real estate is concerned. But I can't swear that this is where I heard that one.
So anyway, here's a little light listening, nothing sophisticated about it, but I sure like it, "Marketplace Money" weekend edition.
