US home construction falls and rates go up. Have we officially hit our affordability ceiling? What’s going on with real estate?

Uber could go public next year and Lyft announces a subscription plan at discounted prices. Is ride sharing cheaper for commuters after you factor in insurance, gas and auto payments? I also look at mixed Q3 returns and the decrease in US home construction and affordability. Other topics include:

• Canada legalizing recreational marijuana
• Americans planning to increase itemized charitable deductions
• International investing- why you do it and why you buy when it’s down
• Comparing scholarship funds
• Common things people don’t ask for help with on their financial plan
• What could end the bull market?
• School fraud and bankruptcy filers
