☆ I moved to Norway nine years ago. Being stereotyped as an American helped me get ahead at work, but it's tough making friends and the weather isn't for everyone.

I hear a lot at work or, after a few drinks, all my friends speak Norwegian. The people are just like the weather: Cold at first, but warm them up and it's magicalMaking friends was really, really difficult here. I googled "American girls in Norway" and anyone who popped up, I would just send them a cold message on Facebook. You also make plans with friends to stay social because it's so easy to go home and hibernate and just go to bed. But if you plan to meet for a glass of wine after work, or go for a walk, hike, cross-country ski, or snowboard, that's really fun.

☆ Today's Mortgage and Refinance Rates: May 5, 2023 | Rates Back Down to Where They Were 2 Weeks Ago
  + stars: | 2023-05-05 | by ( Molly Grace | Laura Grace Tarpley | Mortgage Reporter | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Average 30-year mortgage rates and 15-year mortgage rates both decreased this week and are now back at the exact same levels they were two weeks ago, according to Freddie Mac. See more mortgage rates on Zillow Real Estate on ZillowMortgage CalculatorUse our free mortgage calculator to see how today's mortgage rates will affect your monthly and long-term payments. But whether mortgage rates will drop in 2023 hinges on if the Federal Reserve can get inflation under control. If the Fed acts too aggressively and engineers a recession, mortgage rates could fall further than what current forecasts expect. This means your entire monthly mortgage payment, including taxes and insurance, shouldn't exceed 28% of your pre-tax monthly income.
☆ Mortgage rates remain volatile, tick down after climbing for two weeks
  + stars: | 2023-05-04 | by ( Anna Bahney | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
Washington, DC CNN —The only thing consistent about mortgage rates right now is that they are volatile in the wake of mixed economic signals and recent bank failures. Mortgage rates ticked down this week, after climbing for two weeks in a row. When Treasury yields go up, so do mortgage rates; when they go down, mortgage rates tend to follow. Analysts have said that recent bank failures are doing some of the Fed’s work on reducing inflation for it. The move is unlikely to have a big impact on mortgage rates, as the move was already factored in for most investors said Xu.
☆ S&P 500 tries to break bear market downtrend, but earnings remain lackluster
  + stars: | 2023-01-24 | by ( Michael Santoli | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
The S & P 500 hovers at the downtrend line everyone's watching after back-to-back 1%+ gains. The S & P 500 popping above the famous trend line would be a positive but in itself not a game changer. S & P 500 as a whole at 17x next 12 months' consensus — not cheap. Slicing away the five largest S & P 500 names or using the equal-weight S & P renders the P/E nearer to 15x. Worth recalling the S & P had a 25%+ drawdown last year when earnings were still hitting record highs in aggregate, so softness in Q4 not entirely a shock to the tape.

☆ RJ Barrett and Jalen Brunson on partnering with American Express and NBA 2K on a 2K23 'Lab,' acclimating to New York, and the Knicks' path in the East
  + stars: | 2022-12-08 | by ( John Lynch | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +9 min
New York Knicks guards RJ Barrett and Jalen Brunson spoke to Insider about their participation in an "American Express x NBA 2K23 Lab" activation in Manhattan this week. I play 2K with my friends all the time. Uh, I will say, we score a lot of points in the paint, so I don't know, maybe that's an advantage there, I guess. For the most part, I don't really play as myself, but I have a lot of people who I know who play as me. I don't really understand like the whole stigma of why everyone is like, "Lefties are always going left," and all this other stuff.
