In this episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and Saied take a wrecking ball to the myths of modern homeownership—armed with caffeine, sarcasm, and a well-earned chip on their shoulder. From the Fed’s tightrope act to the slow-motion implosion of consumer confidence, they unpack the real estate market’s latest mood swings, including a 5.9% drop in existing home sales and why homebuilder incentives might not be the golden ticket they appear to be. Whether it’s mortgage points, ARMs, or the lock-in effect, the guys explain how debt, equity, and psychology are shaping a volatile new paradigm for aspiring homeowners.

?? But wait—this isn’t just economic therapy. It’s also gym confessions, cold plunges, burrito-based diet plans, and a hard truth: you’re probably not timing the market better than Warren Buffett. The duo dives into the dangers of being house poor, why your credit score isn’t as accurate as you think, and why buying a home should be more about life fit than market timing. If you’ve ever wondered whether intermittent fasting, lifting routines, and homeownership prep could be discussed in the same breath, buckle up. This is The Higher Standard—where financial literacy meets real-life chaos and a lot of unsolicited fitness advice.
