by
Understanding the purpose of life insurance

In the past, sending money between family and friends could pose a challenge for many people.

Borrowing and lending would take at least a couple days, if not weeks to complete the transaction, assuming no issues arose along the way (e.g., check lost in the mail). Nowadays, money transfers are more cost-effective, secure and instantaneous than ever. While some payment apps may require you to wait a day or two for transferred funds to reach your bank account, the convenience of digital money transfers arguably outweighs any downsides. Of course, money transfer apps like Venmo or Google Pay aren’t … Read more

Running a business – even if you’re just a sole proprietorship – is one of the most challenging, yet rewarding things you can do for work.

How often do you sit down to eat dinner at home with your family? If you’re like most Americans, you probably don’t spend dinnertime with your family on a daily basis because only 29% of households reportedly eat dinner together every night, according to a November 2019 poll by YouGov.

Until recently, however, REITs were very exclusive entities; everyday investors seeking higher returns through cash-flowing apartment buildings and commercial properties were mostly out of luck if they didn’t have the capital necessary to invest in these real estate projects on their own. Fortunately, … Read more
