Feel free to correct my math here: 50% share of business after tax take: 6,000,000x0.7 = 4,200,000 Being extremely conservative and investing in LQD: 4,200,000x3.13%/12 ~ $11,000 Would you walk away from a check for $11,000/month

I met a Swedish nurse who worked in a ward where they treated young people who'd had mental breakdowns. She said the most common cause was a tough life situation. In the short term they would prescribe drugs, but ultimately their treat

High returns with no loss is a massive red flag. Principal protected notes do exist but they are financially engineered to provide you with the smallest return possible while charging a hefty fee for the bank which creates them.

Doctors are known for being terrible with money. There are a bunch of investment services especially catered to doctors to help them invest their money. Of course, these are generally rip offs compared to paying $100 a year for a fee based

tldr If you're suddenly rich, pay $10 and buy $1 Million of Vanguard Total Stock Market Index. Giving your money to anybody else over the last 10 years would have yielded same or worse performance at a higher cost.

I'd love to see Doing Business in Taiwan / Korea / Hong Kong. On a personal note, I found life in Osaka/Tokyo depressing compared to Taipei and Hong Kong. It felt like Japan's time had come and gone.

These companies have been around for 150 years. Same thing goes in Korea. They employ a massive slice of the populations of both countries.

Have any states attempted to take control of medical care and negotiate doctor wages / drug prices? Works reasonably well for Canadian provinces. There's got to be a reason it hasn't been done in the states. What is it?

It's hard for me to believe that 'standardized initiatives' are taking care of the problem. If they are being adequately cared for by standardized initiatives they would not want to wander into unsafe areas or beg for food. T

Great idea. Would be useful to have a summary of the business model at the top of each article. For example #68 Overto I've got no idea what they did and I want to know before reading about why they failed.

Can't agree with your point here. It's extremely common to get ripped off by taxis in Spain. There is no incentive for them to be agreeable with foreigners.

And stop trying to avoid food. Try adding healthy things to your diet instead. When I can't have something it just makes me want it more. The more healthy stuff you put in there the less room you'll have for crap.
