☆ 'A billionaire can be a cheapskate': The difference between frugal and cheap, according to an etiquette expert
  + stars: | 2024-04-25 | by ( Ryan Ermey | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
Someone who could afford first-class seats but elects to save money by flying coach, for instance, is merely being cost-conscious, Farley says. "It's a very fine line," says Thomas Farley, an etiquette expert and keynote speaker known as Mister Manners. "Obviously, cheapskate is pejorative for I think 100% of the population, whereas frugality is definitely considered a virtue." But if you're coming across as cheap to other people, you're likely breaching the rules of good etiquette. Read the roomTo avoid looking cheap around your friends, it's important to take the temperature of how they usually behave with money, Farley says.

☆ Just one drink a day can raise blood pressure, study says
  + stars: | 2023-07-31 | by ( Sandee Lamotte | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
CNN —As little as one alcoholic drink a day increased systolic blood pressure — the top number in a blood pressure reading — even in men and women with no existing hypertension, a new study found. The negative impact of alcohol on systolic blood pressure continued to rise over the years, the study found, even in men and women who drank little each day. Blood pressure and cardiovascular healthBlood pressure is measured in units of millimeters of mercury (abbreviated as mmHg), and written as two numbers, one above the other. No amount of alcohol is good for blood pressure, study says. “However, this review found relatively low levels of alcohol impacted blood pressure,” said Freeman, who was not involved with the research.

☆ I grew up thinking that no one likes their job, but I've built a 'money ecosystem' to afford life with a job I love
  + stars: | 2023-07-11 | by ( Jackie Lam | Avril Ayers | Read More | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Growing up, my parents believed money was hard to come by and that nobody likes their job. For instance, I had trouble saying "no" to work, worked myself to the point of exhaustion, and tended to stockpile funds so I would be ready for any lull. It took quite an adjustment for me not to feel obliged to work 40 hours a week, or that I needed to adhere to traditional working hours. I've also expanded how I make money through working on a book that I'll be self-publishing and starting an Etsy store selling stickers and stationery. For instance, some of my top values are increasing my own financial literacy, financial security, and opportunities to be creative and help others.

Nearly half of single Gen Zers and millennials have suggested or taken someone on a less expensive date due to inflation, according to a recent survey. Looking for love has always been emotionally draining. Now, it will also drain your bank account even more than it used to. That’s why many daters are increasingly pushing back and embracing frugality. It’s a necessity for some, with the price of restaurant meals up 17% and alcoholic beverages away from home up 12% since before the pandemic, according to the most recent Consumer Price Index.
