How many years do you expect your kids to stay on the cargo bike before they graduate to their own rides?
Is it a good time to buy a home now with interest rates being high?
Before it was electric, I just barely managed to get it home on the back of a Highlander. Now that it's so much heavier, I wouldn't put it on a standard rack. A stronger rack, about 4" longer would do, if it had a ramp to make loading easy.
More to the point, it's a f-n terrible time to buy a house. Life does not always follow the ideal timing of political tides. It's worse now than normal, high prices, high interest, low inventory, and fierce competition from cash buyers. It's almost like there's a certain segment of society who is directly benefiting from another segments financial immaturity and the entire system is built to keep it that way. So what are the options? Move somewhere devoid of mountains, quality schools, and public works (parks, pools, libraries) just to buy something cheaper? Stay where I'm at an continue to pay more to rent a house than I would to buy one? Bite the bullet and buy, hoping that there will be favorable rates to refinance into a few years down the road?
