    As for health opportunities... Fish oil source (Krill, Flax, ALA - genetic testing on how well you convert from plant sources), B12, Zinc, Iron, pre-formed Vitamin A (eggs, liver, cod liver oil, and other supplements - not everyone converts plant sourced beta-carotene to vitamin A very well...

    there's subniches that can be important from a marketing avatar perspective when it comes to allergies, not just morality or science arguments for/against eating meat vegetarians AND non-vegetarians who don't want to eat milk/cheese and/or eggs will buy "vegan" or look for it on a menu and...

    Student Loan Strategy - My Story May Help You Discover a Few Tricks

    INVESTING 
    Yes, I believe a bunch of law students did this back in the day, put a bunch of expenses on their credit cards, stopped paying and were able to lump in student loans in their bankruptcy claim. Eventually student loans were taken out for this reason. Bankruptcy can be seen as "not that bad" if...

    Student Loan Strategy - My Story May Help You Discover a Few Tricks

    INVESTING 
    I was able to request $3-5K extra money as per textbooks/computer expenses so to speak. It's not necessarily the 20K+ you might otherwise be looking for with a legit business loan for a brick and mortar business, but can be useful to buffer the $10/20 monthly fees for services you might be using...

    Student Loan Strategy - My Story May Help You Discover a Few Tricks

    INVESTING 
    I bought into the script. I grew up in a single parent, working poor family and education was the magical elixir to set me free. It set me "free" with $185,000 in debt. Some $15K for a Master's degree, $20K for Undergraduate, $150,000 for a doctorate. Was it worth it...yeah, ultimately for the...

    How do you guys even manage your time/energy?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    you don't work 80-100 just for the sake of working. The hours are put in because you have so much in the hopper that's necessary to provide the value proposition of your business. If you're working 80-100, it's usually a conscious decision that it's not quite time to hire an employee or you know...

    Work in spurts, we naturally wax and wane with creative energy, save the laborious, repetitive tasks for when you're lowest with creative energy. You're spending extra time with hygiene because it's a subconscious avoidance/prepping for the other work - mainly mental exhaustion and its own form...

    Time Mgmt: Opportunity Cost Of Gym Membership

    There's more to the extra cost. Relationship opportunity can be beneficial too - you're going to be around a different demographic than at LA Fitness. You're going to likely have less "tolerances" to deal with like trash on locker room floor or old stains on locker room carpet. You have to bring...

    Lol, my wife and I were looking at a Toll Brother's neighborhood in Desert Ridge area just two days prior to your reply. She had a laugh about that when I forwarded your reply. (I got her to read Unscripted, so she's a fan!) We are doing very well financially and we feel a bit in home-buying...

    Money System - What Are You Investing That's Getting 5% Return?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Well, I personally think that when it comes to AZ real estate that things are going to be more of a lateral market. We live in a townhome that we paid 250, and is worth 300, at the peak of the market in 2006ish, it sold for $400,000 in today's dollars, so there can still be some upswing. We...

    Money System - What Are You Investing That's Getting 5% Return?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Many investors seem to be sitting back and waiting. My wife is with one of the top luxury real estate groups in Scottsdale and the word from their meetings is that inventory is low because people are staying in their current properties so they keep their favorable interest rates. You still see...

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Yes, your initial math doesn't account for vacancy (more like 10/12 months) or maintenance costs (much is on renter, but still can occur those bigger costs as you've found - roof, AC, etc). I personally figure (1% of purchase price) / 12 is what I would save minimally for maintenance. Also...

    Why do people assume it takes long to build a decent body?

    HEALTH 
    Master Supplements Inc has a few patents on their delivery. They have a substance in the capsules that congeals and forms a shell around the contents in low pH and then thins again in the different pH of intestines, kinda like a trojan horse.

    Hate to burst the bubble here, but the cultures may be live in the yogurt, but 90% if not all are killed in the stomach acid of the gut (with the exception of Bacillus coagulans used in some Kombuchas and saurkraut). The other benefits from fermented foods is usually from the metabolic...

    True in a lab where they burn food and measure calories produced. But the same 100 "potential" calories are treated very differently by the body depending on the dietary context of the same "100" calories. Effects of Dietary Composition During Weight Loss Maintenance: A Controlled Feeding Study

    Veganism benefits because it's rich in vegetables compared to Standard American Diet. High meat intake in the absence of vegetables is harmful, but it's the lack of vegetables that is most correlative (not the excess meat). As for saturated fat conversation. First, there's a complete apples vs...

    Dividend Reinvesting vs. IRA investing (tax treatment)

    Thanks for your feedback. Yes, I take windfalls/savings and pump them into a business or cash system, but I understand the concern with non-fastlaners. Ultimately, you would take advantage of all of them, but I'm still in a growth stage where I'm just now getting extra money to put into various...
