  • The Roman year originally started in March (the month of Mars) because that’s when the war season started. January and February were at the end of the year and originally weren’t named at all.

    But at some point, the Romans had a problem with one of their politicians. He had a one year term. To get rid of him, they moved the new year to January. It was supposed to be temporary but somehow we’re still living with the results of that lifehack.







  • If everyone knows that home prices will rise

    Some people don’t pay attention to forecasts. Some people sell because they need money now. Some people sell because they need to move now. Those people won’t wait for prices to increase.

    Nobody knows what will happen. It’s a forecast. If I forecast 2% inflation next year, my forecast does not automatically cause prices to immediately increase. Next year, everyone will see if the forecast was accurate.
