With my peanut allergy, that's the point where I use my Epipen and head to the ER.

Y_Mountain_Magic

This is more common that you might think. Cross-reactive proteins account for these reactions (we think)

Worst part!

It’s awful. Watching cut kids run across the gym in tears is the worst.

But it does confirm your decision when you watch them run.

Effectively...no

The wealth transfer is wildly over stated. Most of it will be tax free

As it should be. Why should money that has often been taxed several times

Don't understand why a transfer of the same already taxed money justifies an additional tax. So dumb.

I absolutely buy it. Imagine selling a $3M house in So Cal and coming up to Utah

Sounds correct.

Archaea

If you count selling a home and using that cash to buy a house, I could see it.

My inevitable next home purchase will be cash from downsizing.

Home sales are down + rates are up. Great % will be cash as people less likely
