Working Strategies: Talking yourself in or out of an opportunity

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:36:52 GMT

Amy LindgrenThree years of tuition-free law school; a leadership promotion; a year’s salary in exchange for leaving a job — are these opportunities or are they traps?Naturally, the answer depends on your situation, and on the circumstances of the offer. What I find interesting is that most of my clients have responded to these situations as if they were traps, looking for what could go wrong before imagining what the better outcome might be.Perhaps that’s just human instinct. Or it could be that my clients are a self-selecting group of individuals who seek counsel only when they think something is suspicious.Whatever the reasons, these conversations have given me plenty of practice with a situation I call “talking yourself out of an opportunity.” If you’re prone to saying no before you say yes, you might benefit from running your next opportunity/trap through this list of questions:1. What are you afraid of? In the case of the college senior who’d been offered a full-ride law ...

California’s housing bubble pops as Fed shuts the pump

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:36:52 GMT

California’s latest homebuying debacle is a pumped-up storyline we’ve seen before – even if each housing bubble has its own shape and size.California housing has never been cheap and buyers must heavily rely on generous financing. And if the market looked bubbly – when values exceed economic logic – there’s usually an aggressive monetary benefactor helping to overinflate it.This tenuous relationship with mortgage money also creates volatility. When that monetary pump disappears, bubbles burst and the market takes an ugly reset.The latest example comes courtesy of the Federal Reserve, which morphed from benefactor (the creator of historically cheap mortgages) to the villain (an economy-icing hiker of interest rates) in just two years.The loss of that Fed pump chilled the pandemic era’s California homebuying binge. By November 2022, statewide home sales fell to their third-lowest level in Realtor data dating to 1990.The median price of an existing, single-famil...
