I love this area. Used to live there for 10 years.
when life gives you lemons, make lemonade 🙂
You don't need a $4 million house, especially since you can't afford it. Try seeing if you can afford a 1-2 bedroom $800,000 condo and start from there. There are so many dreamers in Silicon Valley and the reality is, it takes a lifetime and wise investments to get to that level.
Most of my friends who live in SF either own a million dollar condo or rent and invest their money in stocks like Amazon and Apple and work at a big tech company. My start up friends have mostly continued to fail and try again and again, thinking they will one day have millions of dollars, but in reality, have way less money than the people at Apple who spend 10+ years and save and save are actually are millionaires. Be realistic and start small.
You can tax write off the rent too as office
You should get a home for around 1-1.5 million
I used MakeSpace tooo!!!
Sooo, why you are not buying?
I can’t wait when schools will reopen, and I can finally get an i-20 form and go to San Diego. Everything around here is so green, warm, and this is spirit of business… I am in Moscow rn and here is -9 F outside, everything is grey, unpleasant.. people are grumpy
My heart has my heart, what it looks like
Buying a house early in life is overrated esp if one has better avenues to invest. And definitely not buy a house when prices are highly inflated. When you are young and exploring places you don't want to get locked down to a location. It actually hampers professional growth.
Idea of investing money in some scalable and fast growing business sounds good. House must be bought when business starts generating profits as house simply means security
When stuck with lemons …. make ….
Marina, I know the neighborhood you are in, my wife and I go to the Methodist church in Los Altos (LAUMC). You and your husband need to try the Original Pancake House for breakfast sometime.
Everyone is great at investing in the stock market right up until a bear market…
Let the truth be told stock are very good no doubt, but investing in Forex and crypto market is not a bad idea with its current status, I was skeptical when I started investing but no more, it's has really proven to be very profitable
super interesting! and absolutely crazy how expensive houses in Silicon Valley are!!
I hope you're putting that soil in pots… 👀
In this video I think there's a more personal dialogue and feeling to people on YouTube, I like a lot this style! Nice video 🙂
I’m back too I was in Colombia kinda crazy out there right now but we make it back but I prefer Conservative run cities.
Great content! Could you please make an explaination video about your investments? I mean for instance the apps that you are using are only for people who live/ have bank account in the US? I would love to learn more about it but I dont really know where to start, I'm from Poland
Moreover ,what would you recommend to learn more about stocking? Greetings!
Nice work 🎆✨🌠
"we decided NOT to buy a house" otherwise, it is a split infinitive….
BUY.
Some of the tech companies and people here are moving to Phoenix, Arizona.

Некоторые эпизоды идентичны с русским каналом. Мне интересно, что записывается первым, русская или английская версия? Но смотреть интересно оба варианта 😉
1:55 lol you're wearing orange talking about orange 🍊
House is really nice. Congrats!
Interesting. In cities like Amsterdam or Stockholm- mortgage payment is usually lower than rent.

The rich stay rich by spending like the poor and investing without stopping then the poor stay poor by spending like the rich yet not investing like the rich, Bitcoin is the future, Investing in it now will be the wisest thing to do especially with the current rise
'Hi guys, welcome to Silicon Valley girl,'. This sentence is something motivating me everytime Marina says it. Have a good time all.
Какой красивенный дом!!!! Просто вау! Марина, вы такие молодцы!
If your career or business is based on travelling a lot, therefore it makes sense not to buy a house. However, with a kid, I can't see it as being healthy for you or the kid travelling so much. Does buying a house have to be so expensive? Maybe something reasonable enough to live in and/or invest. Most homebuyers don't usually stay 30 years home in their mortgage. 🙂 I am a single parent and have mortgage in the same house for 10 years but I'm ready to sell and buy.
