It may soon be time to update the old adage about eating when you're hungry and stopping whenever you're full.

A growing body of research suggests that when we cut the amount of the food we would eat on a typical day by as much as a third or half, we enjoy benefits including more energy, less illness, and potentially longer lives.

Most of the comprehensive research on this strategy, called calorie restriction, has been done in animals, so its conclusions must be taken with a grain of salt. Читать дальше...

Everybody has their favorite splurge.

Mine happens to be travel.

But as a financial planner who enjoys finding a good deal, I'm not willing to pay a premium for the trips I take. I'd rather visit an under-the-radar destination during the off-season than fight the summer crowds in Europe.

It's a travel philosophy that has served me well over time. One October, I spent 17 days in the Galapagos for $1,800, including airfare. Traveling to Antarctica via Argentina in March cost me just over $5,000. Читать дальше...

Electric cars have come a long way, but slow charge times still threaten mass adoption.
