Deux femmes, 22 et 26 ans, épargnent plus que la plupart des gens de leur âge. L'une a 46 000 € de côté sans arriver à dépenser, l'autre vit avec 900 € par mois et met le reste de côté. J'analyse leurs patrimoines : PEA, assurance-vie, PER, immobilier, et surtout la question qu'elles se posent toutes les deux, quand est-ce qu'on épargne trop ?***Lien mentionné :

Neste episódio comemorativo dos 10 anos da Loft/Fiança Aluguel, o Portas Entrevista, seu podcast do mercado imobiliário, recebe Cleiton Brietzig, diretor da Imobiliária Brietzig.

À frente de uma empresa de 50 anos de tradição em Joinville (SC) e com mais de 430 imóveis sob sua gestão, Cleiton detalha a transição do balcão físico para a eficiência operacional, a importância da carteira de locação para a estabilidade de caixa, estratégias de precificação de reparos na desocupação e como a imobiliária implementou Inteligência Artificial no back office com um repositório interno de prompts.

Most people think the greatest danger on Mount Everest is the mountain itself. But beginning in 2018, investigators uncovered an alleged $20 million Everest helicopter rescue fraud that exploited trekkers through unnecessary evacuations, forged medical records, and fraudulent insurance claims. By 2026, Nepal's Central Investigation Bureau had filed sweeping criminal charges, exposing one of the biggest scandals in Everest's history. In this episode of Disaster Strikes, Kaycee McIntosh and Julie Henningsen examine how the scheme allegedly operated, why altitude makes trekkers especially vulnerable to manipulation, and how guides, helicopter companies, hospitals, and doctors became caught up in an investigation that shook Nepal's mountaineering industry. The hosts also separate verified facts from sensational headlines, including what investigators actually concluded about the widely reported poisoning allegations. Whether you're planning an Everest Base Camp trek, dreaming of climbing Mount Everest, or simply fascinated by survival stories, this episode explains how the fraud unfolded, why it damaged trust throughout the Himalayas, and what every trekker should know before accepting a helicopter evacuation.

While isolated references to baking soda appear in the charge sheet, investigators did not conclude that poisoning was used as a widespread tactic. Media reports describing rat droppings or uncooked chicken were not included as confirmed findings in the formal 748-page charge sheet reviewed by Climbing Magazine. This episode distinguishes verified investigative findings from unconfirmed claims. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Is Belgisch vastgoed interessant voor de Nederlandse belegger? Dat zoeken we uit in deze speciale locatie-uitzending, vanuit Kasteel Brasschaat, net boven Antwerpen.Deze aflevering in het kort: ☑️ De Belgische huurmarkt heeft te maken met historisch aanbodtekort☑️ De impact van een strenge renovatieplicht☑️ Pararius: overheid helpt de huurmarkt om zeepDe Belgische vastgoedmarkt kampt met dezelfde fundamentele uitdaging als Nederland: een groot tekort aan woningen. Toch is de situatie anders. Waar Nederlandse beleggers te maken hebben met vergaande regulering, blijft de Belgische huurmarkt grotendeels afhankelijk van particuliere verhuurders. Volgens Kristophe Thijs van het Belgische vastgoednetwerk CIB zorgt dat voor een opmerkelijke dynamiek. Maar ook in België loopt de spanning op. Het aanbod aan huurwoningen daalt, nieuwbouwprojecten komen moeilijk van de grond en kandidaat-huurders moeten steeds vaker concurreren met tientallen of zelfs honderden andere gegadigden voor één woning.

Continuing and finishing the skin structure and growth of the Stateboard Study Series. This is all part of the skin portion to help prepare you for the Stateboard licensing exam. Now here's the thing and I say this in my podcast, if you are in another state that does the NIC testing, or CIB this may be of some assistance to you for your written test at least. This should be used as an Aid to your studies. Some people learn from hearing (Audio) Learners, but I do encourage you to review your little exam book, as well as your text book, though this goes hand in hand with it. I'm using the latest version of the Milady Textbook, however, those of you who are learning from Pivot Point, the information is the same, just presented differently. With School, your studying sessions, along with this Podcast, you should be on the right track to getting your license. I hope this will help you, and please share with others who may be struggling with their test, or they are getting ready to test. Thank you so much, and stay tuned for Hair Removal next in the Stateboard Study Series of Ms. V's Real Beauty Talk, and check me out on YouTube as well Ms. V's Beauty Tutorials.
