Not many people were super fat during their youths. But as we get old, we tend to gain weight gradually; many end up being obese, especially in America.

Whenever I mention CDs, people often think of their higher interest rates than savings; for example, Chase bank gives only 0.01% interest on its savings while giving up to 5% on its CDs in 2023. This is great, but I learned that the most significant role of CDs has been protecting my own capitals from abuses caused by myself. These are all the books I have written so far, as of July, 2023.

What do you need to do at home when you have a dental problem? Here are 15 things you can do to relieve tooth pain at home.

Everyone knows that it’s better to buy a house early: Who doesn’t want to own his or her own home outright? Some rich people buy big houses early; some even use cash in full. Some poor are not able to afford small residences even with mortgages, which is understandable. Regardless, I think that the most common dilemma could be this: Do I have to buy a big house with a mortgage or a small condo with full cash?

"Why had Germany lost WWII? I think Germans focused on something not bringing them direct victory – they didn't fight in constructive ways. Killing Jewish didn't bring them any gain; it only created miseries on others, which was a waste of time, energy and resources on the German side. Deutschs could have used those to fight against enemies. Unless we strictly pursue our profits, we can lose one way or another. Do you know what is the most common trait among all the losers? They waste time – probably, they throw away energy and money, too. While it doesn't mean we should work to ...

This book can save business owners seriously, including restaurant chefs. Just read it if you work for a store - check out three critical reasons to go bankrupt! "Keeping a small business profitable is an extremely hard thing. There are tons of expenses starting from rent, while the income it can generate is not limitless. Statistically, 70% of American businesses do not survive within the first 5 years, especially after COVID pandemic from 2021. Which doesn’t mean it can sustain easily afterward. I used to own a video game store for 8 years and barely exited it without losing much in ...

How was I able to grow $100 to almost $600,000 in the last 12 years? I don't like financial advisors who never made actual money on their own -- in fact, a lot of them have lost money or under the debt (even including Robert Kiyosaki in 2024), but we still buy their books. I can show you my financial situation just for once -- I know I will end up having way more than this later on. I still remember that I deposited my first $100 in the Sharebuilder account in 2011. There are three things I have learned from the market last 12 years.

"Amanda Clayton was 24 when she won the Michigan State lottery of $1 million in 2011; she was a single mom of two, then. Unexpectedly, she was involved in welfare fraud soon after someone recorded her using a snap card (food stamps) at a gas station even after the windfall. Eventually, she was sentenced to nine months of probation and ordered to repay $5,500 in food and medical assistance to the State. Then, astonishingly, Amanda was found dead of OD in a friend's home in 2012; that was just one year after the winning and she was only 25. I wonder if she could have been OK until now if she ...

Jack Whittaker was a construction businessman in Putnam County, WV; he was known as the winner of a lottery jackpot of $315 Millions USD in the Powerball in 2002. It shows that he was a millionaire already with a net worth of $17 M even before winning; in a word, a millionaire won a huge lottery. He must be the luckiest guy on Earth, right? Wrong! Strangely, a series of unfortunate events happened to him for no apparent reason after winning. First of all, a boy named Jesse Tribble, who was the boyfriend of Whittaker's granddaughter Brandi Bragg, was found dead from drug overdose in ...

“Quotist” means quote artist or writer. These are quotes about my random thoughts, analyses, practical knowledge, useful info you probably didn’t know, or interesting facts I have run into, occasionally. These are the first 15 quotes. 1. Most people falsely assume that “Rocky (1976)” is the first film Sylvester Stallone starred in – wrong! In Wikipedia, I actually counted that it’s the 18th movie he has ever appeared or taken a role in. Not giving up may be the key to success. 2. Along with our fundamental eating and sleeping desires, humans have a strange unrecognized desire ...

"There is a Korean American artist named David Choe, who is best known for his graffiti and mural arts. In 2005, one of Facebook founders, Sean Parker, asked him to paint murals in the interior of Facebook's Silicon Valley office. Subsequently, in 2007, the current FB CEO Zuckerberg commissioned him to paint more murals for their next office. After finishing all the artwork, it’s said that Zuckerberg gave Choe a couple of payment options: “Would you like to get paid by $60,000 cash or Facebook stocks of that amount?” A little oddly, Choe chose the stocks even though the company was ...

"There is a franchise mogul named Baek in Korea; he owned more than 20 brand restaurants and hotels by 2018 and it was reported his net worth is $830 M. He is also a media personality like Chef Ramsey. There was a TV program called Solutions by Baek; struggling small restaurant owners visit him on the show and he suggests things to improve their businesses. I remember a food truck guy visited Baek in 2017; his main menus were green pepper corn dogs and curry corn dogs. Certainly, the problem was that he couldn't sell enough of these. Baek suggested mixing the sliced peppers in the dough ...
