Quotes of the Day

I recommend consuming little or no fish and strongly advise against consuming any of those species of fish notoriously high in mercury, such as shark, swordfish, mackerel, pike, and bluefish. The amount of DHA can vary significantly depending on the fish and the location. Farm-raised fish such as tilapia has none, and even some salmon (especially farm-raised) has very little DHA. Most of us can assure nutritional adequacy of EPA and DHA without using fish oil, by just adding a small amount of a vegan EPA or DHA supplement. A study showed that 100 mg of DHA daily increased the omega-3 index from 4.8 (poor) to 8.4 (optimal) percent. [2011] - Joel Fuhrman

Be aware that there are usually extra costs associated with new builds (such as putting in window coverings and light fixtures for example). Always have your real estate agent and a lawyer review the Agreement of Purchase and Sale and tell you the exact costs you're looking at and add them up so you're aware of closing costs. You also want to make sure you work with a reputable builder and have your representation when purchasing a new home. Remember using a representative is important. Buyers don't pay commission but if they do not use representation, this could cost big bucks. [2021] - Shazia Virani

A passive income of more than $100,000 a year is nice and not hard to achieve. Depending on the market and how smart you are, it could be done in five to ten years. [1998] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

Many studies have confirmed what your mother told you: We need to sleep about 7.5 to 8.5 hours a night. Getting significantly less sleep than this, or significantly more, will almost inevitably cause problems in the long run. Even a single night of bad sleep has been found to have deleterious effects on our physical and cognitive performance. Sleep is essential to performance in dangerous tasks, such as driving. [2023] - Peter Attia

When bankers see a lot of inquiries on your file, they regard you as a credit seeker. And even worse, if there are no recent loans, mortgages or credit cards to match each inquiry, they'll assume you were declined for financing at another institution, and therefore you must be a bad credit risk. (Please note: Your own inquiries about your file at the credit bureau's office are not recorded on your file in most jurisdictions). [2009] - Don R. Campbell
