Mortgage Calculator | My Experience!

-

Hello everyone!

As some of you may know, I recently got married. Marriage usually means a new home or thinking about purchasing a new home in the future. How many of you enjoy planning ahead like I do or are currently looking for a new home to purchase? In this post I will tell you about my recent findings regarding an amazing morgage calculator that I have been using called Monthly Payment Calculator and the current state of the housing market.

Recently I did some research on the housing market as of now and realized how it would not be the best time to purchase this month. That is why I decided to use Mortgage Calculators as my morgage calculator in order to plan ahead. They have the tools to either "refinance today" or "purchase today", plus a ton of payment tools. I think these tools are extremely valuable and easy to use.

I think that it is essential to familiarize ourselves with these tools, plus become comfortable using them for our own use and other people who may want to learn as well. The reason why a lot of people are getting out-bid for homes is because of generational wealth. I consider this not to be fair at all. 


Some facts I have learned according to an article on Clever called “America’s Housing Inequality and the Racial Wealth Divide” by Dr. Francesca Ortegren:

- wealth inequality is making millenials and younger generations have a more difficult time purchasing


- racial wealth gap reinforced by dispairaties in home prices: houses in predominantly Black neighborhoods are worth less than half of what homes in predominantly white neighborhoods are worth


- Closing the racial wealth gap would benefit not only individual citizens and their communities but also the national economy at large, adding an estimated $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion to the U.S. economy by 2028

#BoycottDriscoll's | PROTEST

-

Hello Everyone! I would like to bring this protest to your attention. If you have not yet heard of the Driscoll's protest here is an insight. These immigrant workers are out in the scorching sun picking fruit for about $6 an hour for 12-15 hours! They are being treated terribly and harassed every day. IMAGINE how much bravery it took for them to come together and tell authorities. Not only are they being assaulted while trying to work (including child workers), but they are being threatened and the employers refuse to negotiate with them for better working conditions and salaries. These people are the backbone of America and some don't seem to want to understand that. Look around you; your gardener, school janitor, construction worker, ect. They are all part of the immigrant labor force because they have families to provide for. They are WORKING they are trying to survive. These people deserve EQUALITY and to be treated better. That is why this protest calls for an end to:

JUNETEENTH! Why is it a celebration?

Hello everyone! Today I'm writing about Juneteenth, this celebration dates back to 1865. On June 19th, the Union soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas and the news spread that the Civil war had ended and that ALL slaves were now free. I wanted to write about this because a lot  of us are ignorant to our history. It is ALL of our history because our ancestors played a role in the disgraceful act of slavery. Whether we are of European, African, or Aztect/Native. Each and every one of us now has privilege that people of color then and now do not have. Our society has functioned in a strange way since thousands of years ago. The white skinned people (males primarily) were at the top of society, they made the rules about what was legal and illegal. They decided to transport African people to the America's to use them as a free labor force. Not only was their freedom taken away, but they were beaten, separated from their families, traumatized, and raped. These same people turned ar

SUPPORT BLACK-OWNED BUSINESS

Hello everyone! As you all may know, the United States is facing a revolution. We must continue to support Black Lives Matter. RIP George Floyd. Enough with racism and making people endure police brutality! I am completely against any discrimination, especially when it comes to the Black community. Yes, every other civil injustice matters, but be respectful and an ally. No excuses, this is not the time to be weak. Have you ever wondered what you would've done if you were alive during other horrific historical events? Now is your chance! I will not be supporting anything or anyone who sides with the oppressors. Everyone who is not Black can help uplift Black voices. The government fears union and that is what we need. In addition to business/people showing their true colors... if you know me, then you know that I've always hated the brand D*llskill. From stealing designs to supporting racism/oppression. That is why, (below) I have built a list of Black women owned shops! C
