‘He started to become hostile towards me when I started dating so I asked him to move out’
A few years ago, my best friend of over a decade (also my financial adviser and roommate at the time) convinced me that I should take $175,000 equity out of my property and invest it in the stock market. He was a broker and he showed me charts about how much money I could make long term. I applied but did not qualify for a home-equity loan due to my low income.
Oof.. that gets bad right from the jump.
