One of the biggest problems with saving for retirement is that you can’t be absolutely sure about what experts call your retirement number: the amount of money you’ll actually need once you retire. To give you a target you can shoot for, there are simple methods you can use to come up with an estimate of your retirement number.
Below, we’ll run you through the calculation and give some of the pros and cons of using it over more complex methods.

You can lower your cholesterol levels without drugs by taking a few smart steps toward a healthier lifestyle.
Having high cholesterol levels increases your risk for heart disease and stroke.

This MSN.com video discusses China’s struggle to make high-quality goods for a rising middle class. But along the way, you will learn a little more about rice cookers – the differences and how they operate, and the latest innovations.
The documentary film Widowmaker opens with an all-American scene — a softball game among middle-aged men. Next, one of the players flashes back to the day he was enjoying the game — until he went to the dugout, collapsed, and was carted off in an ambulance. The problem is not a surprise — he had a heart attack.
The fact that he is now here to tell his story is a surprise, however, as many don’t survive a heart attack. About 735,000 Americans have a heart attack every year, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) statistics, and more than 525,000 of them are first heart attacks. For many of those people, the attack comes totally without warning. And the first, fatal symptom is their last.

Please take the time to read this article, a summary of the full 46-page report. The report is a comprehensive summary of suicide among service members who served in America’s armed forces in the last 15 years.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) today released its findings from the nation’s most comprehensive analysis of Veteran suicide rates in the United States in which VA examined more than 55 million Veterans’ records from 1979 to 2014 from every state in the nation.
The effort advances VA’s knowledge from the previous report in 2012, which was primarily limited to information on Veterans who used VHA health services or from mortality records obtained directly from 20 states and approximately 3 million records.
Compared to the data from the 2012 report, which estimated the number of Veteran deaths by suicide to be 22 per day, the current analysis indicates that in 2014, an average of 20 Veterans a day died from suicide.
A link to the complete report may be found here.
