  • If you want the cheapest, no frills, secure (read their security policy) email host with calendar, contacts, tasks via caldav/cardav sync (thunderbird) then Purelymail is a great option. I have used them for years, no down times, great support, bring your own domain if you like. The only downside for some, it is based in the US. I am willing to overlook the US for a host that is $10 a year (can’t afford the others.)

    If you worried about security, I would start thinking about transitioning off of Apple/MacOS and try out linux. Linux can run on your Apple computer. I assume you probably have an iPhone. I would suggest getting an Android phone (Pixels are great) and downloading an Android Privacy supported rom, like CalyxOS, which is de-googled completely, highly secure. There is also GrapheneOS and others, which support more phone manufacturers.






  • I think one only has to look at what is happening in areas of Arizona which has many homes sitting on the same street for sale, dropping their prices, staying on the market for over 100 days. Their average is down 13%+ sales, particularly in many of the suburban areas. On the rent side, landlords are offering 1 month free rent, lots of incentives.

    In CA, add the cost factor of trying to find reasonably priced insurance. My barber says his friend is on his 6th home insurance company after being dropped…for no reason (CA fires.)

    A lot of the problem across the country was the buying in 2022 after COVID when building stopped, bought too high. Now they are losing value and can’t get rid of them at the price they want.
