分享几个最近听的Podcast （本人声明跟以下网站和个人没有任何关系）：

1. https://clark.com/podcasts/03-29-22-affordable-cities-for-renters-where-the-deals-are/

1a Clark提到Schwab是美国唯一一家承诺对网络欺诈给予赔付的证券商；

1b 主持人列出全美房租最低的城市，其中北达科他州有些城市月租低至800美元，这更坚定了我们卖房投资股市的信心。如果目前可Pledge的3%不够多，可以从这些城市住起，等到市场成长、qqq助推我们资产上涨可以Pledge更多3%时，可以租更满意的房，最后达到全世界随便选房、甚至住五星酒店的崇高境界：-）。

Brian Feroldi 是投资界新星，著有《Why Does The Stock Market Go Up?》一书。他分享了为什么投资股市，为什么市场一直会涨，从另一个角度坚定我们投资qqq的信心，尤其他在Podcast中提到，美国自有股市以来，如果拟投资股市、指数20年，你的成功率是100%，对，百分之百！

About housing- to rent:

1. Wichita, Kansas

Wichita is more than the birthplace of Pizza Hut and White Castle (both true), it also happens to have the lowest weighted average rent on this list — at $765 a month. Low rent paired with a healthy median household income of $52,620 gives this city in south-central Kansas a super-low rent-to-income ratio of 17.4%. – source: https://www.buzzfeed.com/eviecarrick/most-affordable-cities-for-renters-in-2021

About housing – to buy:

1. Indiana

From the cool city vibes of Indianapolis, to the hip college town of Bloomington, to an area known affectionately as “the Region,” which is home to the wonderfully wacky annual Pierogi Fest and is just a short train ride from Chicago, the Hoosier state has a lot to offer.

It’s also the most affordable place to live on our list, with a housing cost ratio of 24%.
