Quotes of the Day

If you want about $200,000 per year (depending on the income and your lifestyle) - let's say approximately $16,666 per month - this could potentially be achievable through approximately 10 properties or so. You'll need to pay expenses to net this amount, so if you double it to be safe, you've covered all expenses, then this may mean you need close to 20 properties. You can put all your eggs in one basket or your could spread the funds around. I tend to spend around $300,000 to $400,000 as this is my comfort level. They appreciate less than something around the $600,000 mark could, however I prefer the lower risk and the ability to spread out my dollars to more areas. [2021] - Shazia Virani

Papaya and pineapple are two unique fruits for digestive health, each contributing enzymes that can be eaten right before a meal as an appetizer-which allows these enzymes to help support improved upper digestive health. The process helps to reduce the unpleasant and painful symptoms of acid or gastric reflux-a problem that negatively influences mouth health in many ways, especially as it can cause erosion of teeth and promotion of unhealthy mouth conditions. [2025] - Ellie Phillips

You can tell whether a food is rich in antioxidants by slicing it open, exposing it to air (oxygen), and then seeing what happens. If it turns brown, it's oxidizing. Think about our two most popular fruits: apples and bananas. They turn brown quickly, which means there aren't a lot of antioxidants inside them. (Most of the antioxidants in apples are in the peels.) Cut open a mango and what happens? Nothing happens, because there are lots of antioxidants in there. The food category that averages the most antioxidants is herbs and spices. High-antioxidant fruits and vegetables, such as berries and greens, have been found to douse systemic inflammation significantly better than the same number of servings of more common low-antioxidant fruits and veggies, such as bananas and lettuce. [2015] - Michael Greger

It's not enough to compare ETFs solely on the basis of their MER by assuming a fund that is cheaper by 3 or 4 basis points will automatically outperform a competitor by that same amount. An ETF with a slightly higher fee but consistently lower tracking error might turn out to be a better choice. You can usually learn the fund's tracking error by visiting its web page: the major ETF providers (including iShares, Vanguard and BMO) publish both fund returns and benchmark returns (e.g. XUU lagged its benchmark by 1.52% in 2020). You can also find this information in the Management Report of Fund Performance: this document is typically published twice a year, and you can download a copy on the fund provider's website. [2021] - Dan Bortolotti

The problem with cutting expenses, increasing debt, and selling assets is that it usually makes the situation worse. Increasing income, rather than reducing expenses, was a better way to solve the problem of a budget deficit. [2008] - Robert T. Kiyosaki
