The fear of running out of money in retirement is overblown

Interesting?:


"Strongly believe the trend is for more workers to work out of lower cost of living cities thanks to technology. I'm shooting for a 8-15 percent return on my investments as real estate is my favorite asset class to build long-term wealth."

Advice on credit card deals

I recently gave advice to Annie when she asked about credit cards 💳.   It might be helpful so I'm sharing it here:

Watch out for 0% deals — it's a lure to get you hooked.  It got so bad for me with credit card debt years ago that I had to roll thousands into the refinance of my house to get rid of the terrible penalty fees.  Still paying it off in my mortgage payment.  

Best credit card deals are through your local credit unions (not banks) — join one.  Discover is also good — but still compare the interest rates and fees. Best if you PAY IT OFF every month.  Don't let yourself be charged interest!  It grows into a real problem.  Live within your means.  Don't get more than 1 card if possible.   

Best,
Lee

How Smartphones Damage Our Skin, According To Dermatologists - HuffPost

Key learning:   Use rubbing alcohol on your phone to keep it clean.  I use a spray bottle with rubbing alcohol...

Also they recommend a antioxidant (vitamin c) serum to apply to the skin.

The Puzzle of Sarah Huckabee Sanders

This is how this bitch is successful at supporting the xxxhole of a president we have.  We need to counter this disgusting crap and require truth and integrity from our govt —- not what this Neanderthal crony wannabe does.

Risk factors that shrink your brain 🧠 — Time Magazine

Hi Kay,

Fascinating.  No wonder tRUMP won?  Stay healthy and smart! 

"We can't cure disease or cure aging, but the idea of a healthy body, healthy mind is very real," said Dr. Charles DeCarli, director of U.C. Davis' Alzheimer's Disease Center and a lead author of the study, in a statement. "People should stop smoking, control their blood pressure, avoid diabetes and lose weight."
