    Great job with the painting! We did the same for our parents! Story is so similar in that we moved them into our rental condo. We lose that investment vehicle now however because they live there for free. However, homes are so expensive in the Seattle area that they couldn’t afford to buy.

    Thanks to all who pointed out my mistake. (That’s what’s gonna happen since I insist on doing these videos in this manner, kind of live, one take usually, and I refuse to cut and stitch and make my videos look twitchy, which I hate when I watch other people’s videos)
    ​​⁠
    I did review the video. I did say “every single year it generates $50k” 😂. But it DID generate around $50k or about 10% per year in the last 3 years.
    I shouldn’t have said “every single year it generates. It should be “it should AVERAGE in the long term.” And it should average $50k moving forward, as 8% of $650k (what they have now) is about $50k, and growing. So on the average, given a few more years, they should grow by MORE than $50K a year, even at a conservative 8%.
    Will do follow up video to address the issues :)

    Thanks for sharing, @Johnny NYC, These coops are great for aging in. Aside from the benefits you mentioned of not needing to worry about maintenance, seniors can lead active lifestyles without needing to drive, there are parks and groceries within walking distance. NYC has a number of social programs for them, too. My grandmother made it to 95 in a rent-controlled apt in the BK,, Her longevity was due in large part to her having lived in NYC. Suburbs can be lonely.
    A suggestion for a future video, since financial education is a theme of your videos, would be to talk about portfolio diversification. Yes, the SP500 has returned 10%/year historically on *average*. But, as people age, they can't tolerate the years the index could be down because they are in the withdrawal phase of their portfolio. As an idea, your video could address your take on this.
    Keep up the great work!

    Wise choice, Lt. Shed the liability/baggage.
    Hindsight is always 20/20. 10% roi assumes the s&p index continues on the upward trend not if the nyse crashes. Seems awfully risky to toss all your eggs in one basket. Perhaps wiser to diversify investment portfolio especially during retirement and current economic uncertainties. Markets may take years to recover if we get another repeat of 2008.😮

      @@RetireearlyNYC Funny incident happened in Nassau County where a Queens resident was fighting in a gym. Guess what?? He was arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Won't happen in Queens or any of the boroughs. Law enforcement is weak in Queens and hence the city is dangerous now.

    My house in Queens sits on the border of Mexico. And Haiti. And its 1.1 mill. Im paying taxes for a fourth world living scenerio. America has collapsed. And the taxes are theft.
