Reverse mortgages don't let you tap the full value of the house. Typically, you can access only 40% of its assessed value, a measure that ensures the lender receives both the value of the house and interest owing even if the property declines in value. [2020] - Douglas Gray

I sometimes like to exit one-third of my position with a small profit on the first wave; the next one I’ll cover where I would have covered if I had been trading only one contract, and for the final third I’ll hold, trying to capture the big move.

Only proceed with a light touch in a safe, public environment, and you are confident she will not be startled. Never latch on to a woman - only use the tips of your fingers to lightly tap her on the shoulder or arm.

Certain cruises and cruise lines will serve your needs better than others. Here's the rule of thumb: Longer-colder-older. Translated: the longer the itinerary, the colder the destination, the older the cruise passengers. Cost also plays a major role, but try rhyming that. On cruise lines like Holland America and Celebrity, even in the Caribbean, you'll find few people under the age of 25. With destinations like Alaska and Northern Europe, the number of younger passengers is significantly smaller. On the most upscale lines, such as Radisson and Seven Seas, the average clientele is over 55 and affluent. [2005] - Sharon Romm
