We all know the mess the world is in, so we're going to change it up this week and we're going to talk about the fact that the world's going digital. That includes the music industry and major retailers. DJ Justin Blau has teamed up with an electronic musician who goes by the name of Diplo. They created a song and sold 20% of the streaming royalties to fans via NFTs. Snoop Dogg sold an NFT attached to his latest album and generated $40 million in sales in five days. DJ Steve Aoki says he's made more money selling NFTs than he did from ten years of selling records. And at Universal and Sony, they paid $500 million to buy Bob Dylan's songbook. And just as I predicted they were going to do: They are now getting ready to sell Bob Dylan NFTs. Spotify is going to add blockchain technology and NFTs to its streaming service to boost artists earnings. Ask Ric a question on his show.

Home prices are now at an all time high, up 15% from last year. The median home price is now $375,000, meaning half of all the houses cost more. Half of them cost less. Homeowners in the last two years have gained $6 trillion in new wealth because of the increased equity in your house. The average homeowner over the past two years now has an extra $67,000 in new home equity that's available to you. You get a home equity loan or a home equity line of credit. You've got $67,000 at your fingertips that you can use for whatever you want to use it for. But at the same time, mortgage rates are now at 5% and rising. They're rising, in fact, at the fastest pace in 35 years. Mortgage rates a year ago were 3%. And as a result of all this, a quarter of homebuyers today are now paying cash. That's the highest percentage of homebuyers ever.Ask Ric a question on his show: https://www.thetayf.com/pages/ask-ric
