How can Airbnb hosting be made easier?
So I have written, count them, five books now. But each time I'm in the writing process, I stay at an Airbnb. I love to stay at an Airbnb. When I was actually first launching this show, I was at an Airbnb in Arizona. It was so peaceful. It was stunning. I could be productive and comfortable. The Airbnb was also surrounded by a ton of javelinas. If you know Arizona, you know they're like wild pig creatures. But honestly, I love them too. Being away for work, for fun, or both is a perfect opportunity to host your space on Airbnb. And if you think that hosting is overwhelming, I have a solve for you. With Airbnb's co-host network, it's easier than ever before to host. It's also a great way to earn some extra cash, which I know we all love.
Now you can hire a quality local co-host to take care of your home and your guests. They can do everything from creating your listing to managing reservations to messaging guests and even providing on-site support. So if you've got a secondary property or an extended trip coming up and you need a little help hosting while you're away, you can hire a co-host to do the work for you. Find a co-host at Airbnb.com slash host. So I just went to the grocery store and I actually flinched at the cost of eggs. And I don't even really eat eggs. That's how bad it is. Everything feels more expensive. And so I'm hearing from a lot of money rehabbers right now that their credit cards are getting a lot of exercise right now.
What is a good strategy to avoid credit card debt?

Why consider investing in foreign markets?
Well, consumer confidence is continuing to drop in the U.S., and it's just too early to tell what these tariffs are actually going to do to the financial health of the country. One of my favorite economists, Mohamed Al-Erian, says it's a 50-50 chance whether tariffs will be good or bad. If you're feeling uncertain about where the economy is headed, you should know that you can invest in other economies, too. So today, I'm going to be telling you about investing in foreign markets, why you should, how to do it, and how to avoid any nasty tax surprises. But before I do, let me just be clear here. The United States is still the best economy in the world. Nvidia alone, for example, even after having a rough couple of weeks, is worth over $2.7 trillion. And that is more than the entire GDP of all of Canada. Warren Buffett, one of the most successful investors of our time, is notoriously bullish on U.S. stocks as well. So I'm not saying by any means that you should abandon your U.S. stocks. Please don't. But if your portfolio is too U.S.
centric, it might be time to think global. In the early 2000s, for example, U.S. stocks were asleep at the wheel while emerging markets like Brazil and India were booming. And let's not forget the United States is also not the only country with a stock exchange.
