  • Eh, at least in my experience, interest in most normal mortgages ends up less than the standard deduction so it can’t be claimed. It was a change Trump made to the tax code I think. I don’t understand enough about it to know if it affects me negatively or not. I know it’s better for me to claim the standard deduction instead of itemizing my deductions. This means I can’t claim interest paid (which is bad), but the standard deduction is higher than it was before, so I think I’m still claiming more money as untaxable (which is good, I think?).

    Maybe someone with more knowledge than me can chip in.









  • Dreamingspanish.com has been great at helping my vocabulary. Just watching videos 30-60 minutes a day, at my level of comprehension really took the stress out of memorization and has allowed my brain to pick up on common phrases and different ways to talk around things I don’t know wxact words for. There are a ton of free videos at super beginner, beginner, and intermediate levels. I watched a 20 part complete history of Spain at the intermediate level and then immediately subscribed to his channel because I could tell pretty quickly how good it was for me. I’d definitely recommend giving it a shot if you want to boost listening skills and expanding vocab.
