MSG in Your Infant Formula

Keracunan Dianggap Lumrah

Kasus keracunan merupakan hal yang lumrah kita dengar di negeri ini. Mengapa hal ini sering terjadi?

Banyak faktor yang memengaruhinya. Diantaranya, adalah fakta bahwa di Indonesia sumber racun yang dapat mencemari makanan kita begitu banyak terutama untuk sumber racun yang berasal dari mikroorganisme yang sangat mudah tumbuh di negeri tropis semacam Indonesia.

Faktor lain yang mengakibatkan banyaknya kasus keracunan di Indonesia adalah kewaspadaan kita sebagai konsuman tampaknya sangat kurang. Coba saja kita lihat pola hidup masyarakat kita. Kebanyakan kita tidak segan-segan jajan di pinggir jalan yang ramai oleh kendaraan, tambahan lagi juga dikepung oleh debu yang beterbangan. Continue reading →

Makan-Minum Sembarangan: Bisa Gagal Ginjal

Sekitar seminggu yang lalu, anak lak-laki kawan saya di Kepanjen (Kabupaten Malang) meninggal dunia dalam usia yang masih muda, 25 tahun, yang disebabkan oleh gagal ginjal yang telah dideritanya selama satu tahun. Setelah selama satu tahun menjalani cuci darah (dialysis), kondisi kesehatannya tak tertolong lagi.

Jelaslah di sini bahwa penyakit yang fatal seperti gagal ginjal dan stroke pun kini tak segan-segan menyerang orang-orang dengan usia yang masih muda, bahkan anak-anak sekalipun. Jadi, mentang-mentang masih muda, janganlah membiasakan diri menemppuh gaya hidup, terutama soal makan-minum, yang sembarangan atau sembrono (ceroboh). Lebih parah lagi bila diiringi dengan merokok dan/atau minuman keras;  sakit apa lagi yang mau dicari?

Scott Rister is a successful full-time investor living in Dallas, Texas and I think every real estate investor need to learn some strategies that work for him and would be work for you as well. Here is one of his suggestion.

Finding Motivated Sellers: Luck or Hard Work?

Did you just hear about the investor in your local RE club that closed on a deal netting them $15,000 and they didn’t even have to lay a hand on the property? Or what about the person that just bought that rental house on the same block for 30-50% less that what you paid for yours? Are you at the point of scratching your head and thinking they’re just lucky? Or probably that’s all they do and just don’t have a life outside of real estate….right?

This time, I’d love to share with you regarding what Jay P. DeCima, a seasoned real estate investor with more than 40 years of hands on experience, say about partnering on real estate deals for the right reasons.

My (Jay) personal investment strategy has constantly changed over the years as I’ve discovered what works, what don’t and how to “tighten-up” my deals to maximize cash flow. I’ve always felt that investing alone is better than splitting the pie and sharing my profits! However, I have had several excellent partnership ventures over the years. And I must tell you this, when they work, you can achieve your financial goals many times faster than doing deals alone. But remember, I said when they work – that’s the tricky part.

Common Forms of Property Ownership

There are a variety of forms of ownership of property. The more common forms of ownership include:

1) Joint Tenancy: property owned by two or more people at the same time in equal shares; typically referred to as the four unities (unity of time, title, interest and possession vesting in each joint tenant). Each joint tenant has an undivided right to possess the whole property and a proportionate right of equal ownership interest. When one joint tenant dies, his/her interest automatically vests in the surviving joint tenant(s) by operation of law. Words in the deed such as “John and Mary, as joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common” establishes title in joint tenancy. Not all the states allow this form of property ownership.
