Ideally, you should check out the condominium unit or property that you are interested in at three different times before you decide to purchase: during the day, in the evening, and on a weekend.

With dollar-cost averaging (DCA), you invest your money in equal chunks on a set, regular schedule - such as once a month - into a diversified group of longer-term investments. The attraction of DCA is that it allows you to ease into riskier investments instead of jumping in all at once. The flip side of DCA is that when your investment of choice appreciates in value, you may wish that you had invested your money faster. DCA is most valuable when the money you want to invest represents a large portion of your total assets and you can stick to a schedule. [2019] - Eric Tyson

Consistent, moderate exercise is wonderful for one's health: walking, gardening, going for a bike ride--it all helps. In fact, walking after an MSTF workout may moderate the short-lived inflammation that sets in. On the other hand, moderate exercise is no substitute for MSTF. In deed, people who rely on a walking program for fitness will typically lose between 4 and 6 pounds of lean muscle every decade. Moderate steady-state activities like walking, running, or swimming help keep us healthy--but without regular resistance exercise that enlists and overloads our larger muscles, sarcopenia will progress, along with its attendant risk factors. [2021] - Philip Shepherd
