TODAY’S TOPICS:
You should have 100K saved by this age …According to businessman andShark Tank star Kevin O'Leary, you should have $100,000 saved by the time you’re 33. Why 33? According to O’Leary, 33 is the point in people’s lives when they need to focus on saving money, and if they don’t start saving, they’ll fall behind. 100K by 33 seems pretty ambitious, to say the least … especially considering that 57% of Americans don't even have $1,000 saved, according to a 2018 study by gobankingrates.com. But O’Leary says anyone can do it if they start saving early enough. "I'll tell you how: You save 20% of your paycheck and you let the market grow at 5% to 7% a year [and] you can get to a $100,000," O'Leary says. (CNBC)
Avocados are dangerous …Well, opening them anyway. Seems avocado-related injuries sent an average of 24 people a day to the emergency room last year. The majority of these hospital visits were due to people cutting their hands while removing the avocado pit or holding the avocado in their hand while slicing. These injuries are so common they have actually been dubbed “avocado hand.” (Food & Wine)
Can’t make this up …A recent survey by skin care brand CeraVe found that 47% of women go to bed with their makeup on every night. And 55% of Americans admit that they don’t even wash their face once a day. (Daily Motion)
