Acidic foods may be combined with non-acidic foods. Acidic fruits, for example, that are not allowed by themselves, may be fine if added to breakfast cereal with high-pH milk (preferably low-fat milk) or if consumed alone with alkaline water. [2014] - Jamie Koufman

A furnished apartment typically commands a higher rent than a non-furnished suite, sometimes as much as 10-15% more.

I prefer to trade the daily charts. They tend to produce more profits long-term because you are able to increase the size of the investment with the trend. I also trade intraday if the daily time frame does not produce signals. If I trade intraday, I tend to look at the 10-minute time frame for volatile markets like the indices. All other markets like the currencies or the grains I trade the 30-minute charts. [2004] - Bill Williams

How much to save for retirement? If I absolutely had to provide a one-size-fits-all flat percentage of pay, I would make it 12% with the caveat that you might have to change that percentage as you get closer to retirement. If I could express it differently, I would suggest saving 5% of pay in your 30s, 15% in your 40s and 25% in your 50s. This alternative represents a rough approximation of the Rule of 30. [2021] - Frederick Vettese
