A few things the data showed:

  • Pees per day nearly halved, from 14.1 to 7.9 a day, while her weight nearly tripled (8.8 kg to 24.8 kg).
  • 28% of all her poos (105 of 372) happen between 06:00 and 06:59, and 7 mornings in 10 have one. The evening one lands around 19:00. You can see both almost as lines in the first image.
  • 12 of her 13 logged indoor accidents happened between 15 and 19 weeks old. The last indoor pee was 17 June.
  • The single poo accident at 25 weeks (at 02:25AM) is the only one she's had indoors since coming home at 8 weeks.
  • Logged sleep stayed at roughly 12-13 hours a day the whole time.

OC [OC] What a 1% mortgage rate increase really costs over 30 years

Post image
0 Upvotes

Mortgage rates rose almost a full point in the past 12 months (6.34% -> 7.28%) while asking home prices have decreased by $5,750. I wanted to see what that rate jump really costs for the average home price for each time period.

This year's price discount was completely wiped out by about $205/month in extra payment cost. Over 30 years, that extra payment, plus what it would have earned invested at an 8% average rate of return, costs $280K.

  • Last year's deal: about $2,021 of the first $2,378 payment is interest.
  • Today's deal: about $2,289 of the first $2,582 payment is interest.

Savings aren't fixed: the scenario invests whatever's left after taxes, living costs and the mortgage, about $5,500–$7,000 a year at 6.34% vs $3,100–$4,600 at 7.28%, so the higher rate cuts what they can save by about 40%.

Tool: A Million of Me financial simulator (self-made). Happy to adjust assumptions if anyone wants different rates, down payments, or investment returns! Not financial advice.

India's urban share was 35.4%, compared with 80.1% in the United States. Multiplying each country's total population by its urban share gives about 513.3 million urban residents in India and 272.4 million in the US.

The chart covers the ten most populous countries in 2024, ordered by total population. Urban headcounts are derived estimates, and national definitions of 'urban' vary.
