I think unemployment will get back to its pre-coronavirus numbers though it will take time (at least 6-9 months).The economy is good if you look at the classic definition: An economy (from Greek οίκος – "household" and νέμoμαι – "manage") is an area of the production, distribution and trade, as well as consumption of goods and services by different agents.However when I look at US debt - which pretty much every politician with few exceptions have kicked the can down the road - I see a massive problem with inflation. 

When you see the numbers broken down to normal household level numbers for comparison, it is even scarier.  

I have pretty good credit score & household income but I am still astounded that you can get $100K pulled this way...@2% annual interest rate, they are really not making money off of me...

At the Wise household we're currently on day 3 of a 14 day sleep training program for our 7 month old.

Factors like lowest property taxes, increasing population, median household income, low house prices, appreciation rates, etc...

I can't get excited about markets that have declining populations, low household incomes, high poverty rate.

I like households with a lot of people in them and might want to find something I live in with a few bedrooms that I can rent out.

If you have a track record of correctly tracking and managing your household expenses and maintaining a target savings rate for more than 1-2 years, then yes, I think the math leans towards investing in real estate (provided your student loans are at 4-5% AND your risk tolerance is in line with that decision).

I am trying to position myself better financially, by paying off as much credit card debt as possible and trying to pay my students, and keep with the household expenses.
