WHAT TOM K WANTS TO TELL YOU ABOUT WEALTH THAT OTHERS DON’T?

-
Dear readers, recently I had a health scare when a health screening picked up that my cholesterol levels are beyond the recommended band. I was shocked at this result since this was the first time that my cholesterol levels were detected as high and I do not have much suspicion since I have always maintained quite an athletic frame though I have a slight tummy.
I waste no time to tighten my regime on my food intake now starting with more fruit juices. This new regime is a tightening of my steering away from some of the very unhealthy dishes out there with lots of MSG, salt, oil, sugar, preservative and etc.

Diet aside, exercise is also very important, ensure you exercise regularly and make some time for a little jog especially so when you are tired. It may be an irony but what I find out is that you will be mentally and physically recharged after a good and intense jog and workout; and if these are done in the evenings, you will have a sound sleep.

Drinks lots of water throughout the day too to rehydrate your body.

If you take care of your body through good and disciplined intake of food and water as well as a fitness regime, you will look good and feel good. Health is Wealth and we should cherish our bodies and beside being healthy saves you from somewhat unnecessary medical costs.

YEAR 2008 GREAT FINANCIAL CRISIS: LESSONS LEARNT

-
Image
The 2008 financial crisis, also known as the global financial crisis or the Great Recession, was a severe worldwide economic downturn that began in late 2007 and lasted until 2009. It was triggered by the collapse of the housing market in the United States, which led to a chain reaction of events that ultimately caused a global recession. The crisis was fueled by a combination of factors, including a housing bubble, subprime mortgage lending practices, excessive risk-taking by financial institutions, and complex financial instruments that spread risk throughout the global financial system. As the housing market collapsed, banks and financial institutions faced massive losses on their mortgage-backed securities and other assets, leading to a credit crunch and a freezing of credit markets. The crisis had far-reaching consequences, including a steep decline in stock prices, a spike in unemployment, and a sharp decrease in economic growth. Governments around the world were forced to

-
Image
Investing in forex and stocks both carry risks, but there are some specific risks associated with each that investors should be aware of: Risks of Investing in Forex: Volatility: The foreign exchange market can be very volatile, with exchange rates constantly fluctuating based on various factors such as geopolitical events, economic data releases, and market speculation. This can result in significant price swings that may lead to substantial losses. Leverage: Forex trading typically involves the use of leverage, which allows traders to control larger positions with a small amount of capital. While leverage can amplify profits, it can also magnify losses and potentially wipe out an investor's entire account if not used properly. Counterparty Risk: In the forex market, traders are dealing directly with their brokers or counterparties, rather than through a centralized exchange. This introduces counterparty risk, where the broker may default on their obligations or engage i

Once upon a time in a small town, there lived a young girl named Emily. Emily loved to spend money on the latest fashion trends, new gadgets, and eating out at fancy restaurants.
