In this episode, I'm going to show you some of the most common ways that black swan events can disrupt and ruin your life. We're all familiar with the phrase "black swan theory", which was coined by Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his book The Black Swan. It refers to an event or occurrence that deviates beyond what is normally expected of a situation and has a major impact on its surroundings - often shocking those who were not expecting it. But what are they? And how do you get ready for them? Let me break down some things you should know about black swans before they happen to you!

- Home sales rose for the second straight month but were barely higher than in July 2020.

- The median price of an existing home sold in July was $359,900. That is a 17.8% increase compared with July 2020.
