Quotes of the Day

Reheat food gradually in the oven or on the stovetop, instead of in the microwave. Avoid microwaving starchy foods, because the high heat changes starch into a harmful polymer (advanced glycation end products) that can build up in your body and cause damage to your organs. If you bring your lunch to work, pack the food in a glass or metal, not plastic, container. Bring hot food in a Thermos container to avoid having to reheat it in the microwave if your workplace doesn’t have a toaster oven or stove. [2019] - William W Li

We always recommend you take the longest amortization possible, because the amortization doesn't actually dictate the duration of your mortgage payments; that duration is determined by how you set up your payments. If you have a long amortization, you can always revert back to the minimum payment. This helps you avoid accumulating outside debt, and you can qualify for something else if you need to. If you want to buy a rental, but you've just renewed your principal residence mortgage at 15 years, you won't qualify. But if you had your principal on a 30-year term, it would allow much more flexibility. [2018] - Angela Calla

Once monetary balance is restored, gold and silver will stop being investments promising strong returns and go back to being essentially refined and shaped rocks, as they should be. At that time, stocks should regain their position as the investment of choice and I hope to be selling much of my gold and silver. [2008] - Shayne McGuire

Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things. [2004] - Stephen R. Covey

Research has revealed that poor sleep quality and/or insufficient sleep and chronic stress have a direct relationship to weight gain and acid damage. Glucocorticoids (GCs) are a class of steroid hormones released by the body during psychological or emotional stress. When GCs are being produced at a fast clip, the result is greater pepsin production, an increased chance of developing or worsening GERD and stomach ulcers, and a propensity to store more abdominal fat, which is linked to acid reflux and increased chances for developing Barrett’s esophagus. [2017] - Jonathan Aviv
