The problem with long term investments

If, in 1970, you invested $100 in a fund tracking the S&P index, then by 2023 the investment would have grown to $22,000, far more than it would have in other assets such as real estate or government and corporate bonds. Case closed, right? Put your money into an index fund and simply leave it there.

F. A. Hayek, Libertarianism, and the Denationalization of Money

Hayek found support within the American libertarian movement. Libertarians realized that Hayek’s radical proposal would limit state control over the monetary system and allow for the free exchange of gold.

High levels of ultra-processed foods linked with early death, brain issues.

I found that for me, it was much easier to cut out highly-processed foods altogether (I went on a whole-food non-animal diet) that it was to "cut back." By cutting them out altogether, I lost my taste for them in just a few weeks.

Here's the article:

"Ultra-processed foods are ready-to-eat/heat industrial formulations made mostly or entirely from substances derived from foods, including flavors, colors, texturizers, and other additives, with little if any intact whole food."

That's the definition from a BMJ study of the effects of UPF on all-cause mortality (not good).

hagar , to Open Source in Does anyone know of any decent accounting software for Windows and Linux?

Perhaps Firefly? It is meant for personal finances but considerably complex still. I am not sure if it does invoicing though.

Edit: This should give you a more precise idea of how fitting it might be: https://docs.firefly-iii.org/explanation/more-information/what-its-not/#business-finances-small-business-accounting-payroll-management
