Retiring Early vs. $3 Million: Is It Better to Keep Working At that Price?
Recently, I was asked, “Why would you forgo your highest earning years in favor of retiring early?” Obviously, I never thought about it like that. The infinite wisdom of a random social media commenter truly changed my life… Nah. For one, I don’t think they understood how meticulous I could be regarding financial planning. I don’t know one person who retired and isn’t struggling financially, so I understand the caution. Being second-generation Haitian narrows the number of successful retirees to an elite few. Do Haitian-Americans retire? Sure. Maybe? Have I seen it? Not really. Do they even have enough money to really say that they retired? Nope. Most of their…

Which is Better Generational Renting or a 50-year Mortgage?
Recently, Ms. Constance Carter, Wealth Advocate, wrote an opinion piece on “the 50-Year Mortgage Is a Trap, not a Path to Black Wealth.” She goes at length into contextually the 50-year home loan as a bondage, but that’s not accurate. Considering you can pay off your debt as soon as possible through expedited payments with your lender, her Op-Ed is far from accurate. Go beyond that, her attack on home ownership seems negligent to the point of full advocacy of becoming generational renters. Since the peak in 1860, black homeownership plateaued at around 44%. This wouldn’t be so bad if most of that ownership centered around the Boomer generation. You…
