The Current State of Housing & It's Not Our Fault

In a jam packed episode 198, Chris, Saied and Haroon are very caffeinated and coming in hot.  Recorded back-to-back with BallerBusters: Chapter 2 and a very special guest, you can just feel the palpable stench of the powerful combination of sarcasm and data.  Kicking off the show, the boys jump into US holiday retail sales.  They quickly pivot to how much the “typical American” has in a 401(k) account.  Then wham! Its all housing market updates all day for you the rest of the way.  Almost too much data for you to handle.  I guess that’s why we are the #1 financial literacy podcast in the world isn’t it? Let’s go!
