Thousands of mainland Chinese are choosing Malaysia’s laid-back vibes over their stressful lives back home. Synopsis: Every month, The Straits Times analyses the hottest political and trending talking points, alternating between its Malaysia and China bureaus. For March, hosts Lim Ai Leen and Tan Tam Mei kick off with ST's Malaysia bureau chief Shannon Teoh, and special guest Dr Ong Kian Ming, both based in Kuala Lumpur. It’s easy to settle down in multicultural Malaysia, as thousands of mainland Chinese on the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) visa scheme have discovered. Affordable property, international schools, local food and a relaxed lifestyle are all draws, but are there drawbacks? As it is, signage in the Chinese language has already sparked off a war of words between politicians.

Denard ‘Drama' Butler, a Nine Trey Gangsta Blood, was sentenced to 60 months in prison for racketeering after his involvement in a 2018 armed robbery—an event filmed by 6ix9ine. Labeled as a “hanger-on” in the gang's circle, Butler faced serious legal consequences when Tekashi 6ix9ine cooperated with federal authorities, leading to major indictments. In this episode, Butler breaks his silence on life inside Nine Trey, how 6ix9ine snitched, his prison experience, and his path to redemption.

Ep. #106 In the last episode of the year, Lil is joined again by the beautiful Daniela Kovacevic to share her beautiful second home birth story! Topics: Daniela experienced a different pregnancy with her second child compared to her first. Signs of labor can include physical symptoms like nausea and the loss of the mucus plug. The emotional aspect of preparing for a second birth can be complex and filled with anticipation. Having a support system, like a midwife, is crucial during labor. Fast labors can be intense and may lead to feelings of shock for some women. Daniela's intuition played a significant role in her birthing experience. Every birth experience is unique, even for the same person. The decision to have a toddler present during birth can be challenging for parents. Water births can provide relief and comfort during labor. It's essential to embrace the unfolding process of birth. Mental resilience is crucial during labor. Finding comfortable positions during labor can enhance the experience. Hospital protocols can create unnecessary pressure and fear. Trusting your intuition is vital for a positive birth experience. Women should feel empowered to choose their birthing positions. Fear tactics in hospitals can lead to anxiety and stress. Support from loved ones can help alleviate fears during childbirth. Every birth experience is unique; listen to your body. The connection between mother and baby is fundamental during birth.

A common consideration for people living in colder climates is purchasing a second home in a warmer region to escape the winter months. However, in March 2022, the Federal Reserve began increasing interest rates to combat inflation. This move caused many potential buyers to hit pause on their plans for a second home. Recently, on September 18, 2024, the Fed announced its first rate cut, lowering the Federal Funds rate to 4.75%-5%, marking a half-percent decrease. Mortgage rates, which had soared as high as 8%, are now starting to come down. As a result, more people are reconsidering downsizing or purchasing that second home. At the same time, there has been a rise in aggressive sales tactics from mortgage lenders. To help navigate these waters, I invited my friend Frank Ellerbroek, a seasoned mortgage broker, to join today's podcast. He'll share his insights on the current market trends and offer advice on what to watch out for if you're thinking of financing a second home or downsizing to a more manageable property. On a personal note, Frank and I have been friends for nearly 20 years, and my firm has referred many clients to him over the years. I trust him because he consistently delivers great service, and I worked with Frank when I purchased my home. That said, whether you're considering working with Frank or someone else, I always recommend talking to more than one professional to ensure you get the best terms for your unique situation. https://vantagemortgagegroup.com/about-us/meet-the-team/frankellerbroek/ https://www.optoutprescreen.com/ The Retirement Budget Calculator is an intuitive tool that promises ease and accuracy.

In this episode, the FAQ is: What are the best theme parks for those in their Prime Years? Today's Destination is: Istanbul, Turkey (part 1 of 2) Today's Misstep- Ask for specific directions and then listen better. Travel Advice: Get a better exchange rate than in a busy tourist city. FAQ: What are the best theme parks for those in their Prime Years? Answer: I think the best theme parks for adults are the Disney ones. They have been friendly for generations, and you can always find someone to answer your questions, i.e., a cast member. You will pay more than for other parks, but you have the franchise behind you to almost guarantee you a good visit. Prepare ahead of time with any needs you have for accommodations. My friend Ron was in a wheelchair there recently and agreed that the multi-generation experience was good for him. Listen to some of my previous podcasts about Disneyland and California Adventure. Today's destination: Istanbul, Turkey https://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g293974-Istanbul-Vacations.html Turkey was a different type of experience, and I highly recommend you go there if you want to see some variety of culture. It is different from most places I have been to in my life. Yes, I did find someone selling carpets, so I will share that later in the episode. I was in Turkey for 7 nights. First, it is centrally located near Taxsim Square at the Wabi Sabi Hostel for four nights, then the Second Home for two nights, plus the Airbnb with “Miss” for one night. With all my travel, I managed a budget one-hour massage, which I highly recommend here. Here's a Carpet store tale: I was asking for directions and encountered a man named Burak Solak who worked at the Red Apple Carpet store. He sells carpets, purses, and jewelry at his uncle's store. I told him to put an apple sign out front, but he disagreed. What do you think? If you are solo like me, I recommend the day Tours: Try one of the Hop-on-hop-off $40 for 24 hours. Stretch that over two days so you can do a half trip in the PM and the rest in the next AM. Museums: The Cistern Museum was an underground water system where you could see all the remnants from centuries ago. It cost $22 to explore and was cooler than the outside baking heat of the day, so it was refreshing. https://mshiddengarden.com/ Today's Misstep: Ask for specific directions, listen better, and exchange rates. My missteps in Turkey Missing the pickup point: I was getting off the hop-on-hop off the bus and should have been more specific about the pickup point. The driver pointed, but I did not pay attention. That caused me a lot of confusion. It was probably the busiest part of the city and under construction. I was dangerously lost and finally found someone to help me out after walking back and forth for a long time. It was maybe 30 minutes, but the heat was strong, so I was stressed. Next time, ask for the pickup point. Second mistake: Don't try to exchange your cash in any Turkish currency exchange in Istanbul. I got 12 euros for $20 US, which is not a good exchange rate. I should have brought my debit card. Don't make my mistake. Today's Travel Advice- Money Exchange Woes Don't try to exchange your cash in any Turkish currency exchange. I got 12 euros for $20, not a good exchange rate. I should have brought my debit card. Don't make my mistake. I want to bring meaning to your future travels.

For more information and show notes visit: https://www.bwmplanning.com/post/86In this episode of Financial Planning for Oil and Gas Professionals, we dive into the complex considerations involved in purchasing a second home. We explore the decision from both an investment and lifestyle perspective, providing insights to help you determine if a second home makes sense for you.Key TakeawaysThe Investment vs. Lifestyle Decision:We break down the decision to buy a second home into two primary motivations: investment and lifestyle. It's important to consider the potential for appreciation, rental income, and the overall impact on your balance sheet. We emphasize the need for a second home to be a small fraction of your net worth if viewed purely as an investment and highlight the importance of loving the location and considering the true cost of ownership, including property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. We also stress the need to evaluate how much time you will realistically spend at the second home and the impact on your travel plans.Accessibility and Utilization:We discuss the importance of accessibility, especially for working professionals with limited time. The ease of travel to the second home can significantly impact its utilization and overall value. Included in the episode are personal anecdotes to illustrate how accessibility can affect the decision-making process.Mindshare and Management:We talk about the mental and time investment required to manage a second home. Whether you plan to handle maintenance yourself or hire a management company, it's crucial to consider the mindshare ratio and the potential headaches involved.Market Timing and Real Estate Trends:We caution listeners about the current real estate market, noting that home prices are at an all-time high and the easy money has already been made, and discuss the headwinds facing new buyers and the importance of being realistic about potential returns.Personal Balance Sheet Considerations:We emphasize the need to understand your personal balance sheet and liquidity when considering a second home. The structure of your assets, whether liquid or tied up in a privately held business, can significantly impact your ability to manage a second home.Conclusion:We wrap up the episode by reiterating the importance of approaching the decision to buy a second home with humility and a clear understanding of your motivations. Whether for investment or lifestyle, it's crucial to be realistic about the costs, benefits, and potential headaches involved.As always, we encourage our listeners to reach out with any questions or ideas for future episodes at podcast@brownleewealthmanagement.com.Thank you for tuning in, and we look forward to bringing you more insightful episodes in the future.Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BrownleeWealthManagement/?ref=py_cLinkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/company/brownlee-wealth-management/Disclosure: This information is for informational purposes only.

This week we sit down with Frenchy Morgan, known for her appearances on Rock of Love and Celebrity Big Brother UK and a guest from the first season of Gown and Out in Beverly Hills. Frenchy explains the origin of her name, recalling that she was originally known as Angelique during her time on VH1. The conversation quickly takes a lively turn as Frenchy reveals her preference for dating Asian men, leading to discussion about her experiences living in South Korea. She notes the high cost of living and how she received free dental care in exchange for promoting the clinic on Instagram and speaks fondly of her time there, emphasizing how calming she finds the Asian culture. We dive into Frenchy's career, where she shares stories from her time as a stripper, a playmate, and her appearance on Rock of Love. She explains how she got the gig after being discovered on the Howard Stern Show and details her life working at the “Spearmint Rhino” in Las Vegas and talks about her brief foray into adult films and her interest in pegging, which prompts some curious questions. She describes her life as a dancer, revealing how much she earns in a typical evening and sharing her perspective on finding a wealthy husband. She humorously explains that no man has been able to afford her lifestyle demands, including a $3 million engagement ring and $50,000 monthly allowance as a wife. We jokingly complain about finances, with Frenchy offering to help us get a yacht. The conversation touches on Frenchy's work experience with Gordon Ramsay, her social media ban, and her support for Donald Trump. Frenchy claims her social media bans were politically motivated and shares her personal experiences meeting Trump, whom she admires. The trio also delve into Frenchy's love for pink and her life as a fur mother, revealing her plans to move from Malibu to Florida. They reminisce about a music video Frenchy shot at the boutique and her friendship with actor Gary Busey, which grew after they both appeared on Celebrity Big Brother. She shares amusing stories about her work at strip clubs, including maxing out her clients' credit cards. We conclude with the first half of Pol' reading of Frenchy's Armenian coffee cup grounds, offering insights into her life, her home as her sanctuary, and the internal struggles she faces. Pol suggests that Frenchy is holding onto unresolved issues with someone from her past, encouraging her to let go of the emotional burden. The boys try to help Frenchy identify who this person might be, leaving her with some thoughtful reflections as we wrap up. This is another Hurrdat Media Production.

Amy Nakos has been living and doing real estate in Summit for over 20 years. In this episode she shares four key questions she asks clients that are looking for second homes. If you're in the market for a second home, listen in for things you should be thinking about. She talks about:- Budget insights- Location vs. size considerations for the resorts- Short Term Rentals and if you can even get a STR license- How are you going to use it?She walks you through the first things to consider when starting your search, and she identifies some of the unique things to consider in a mountain market that you don't have to think about with a primary home. She highlights how schlepping little kids in their gear (that's me!), schlepping laundry, or letting dogs out to go to the bathroom (that's me too!) are often factors to consider. And she shares her wisdom on what can cash flow and how resort markets hold their value.Contact Amy at amynakos.com#realestate #mountainrealestate #secondhomes #summitcountyco #yourcastlesummit #vacationhome

We're always evolving, but we've definitely, we definitely have our niche and we've got our aesthetic, which has been nice and it's, it's again, been welcomingSometimes some of the best projects are some of the smaller ones where you gotta be creative with space and you be articulate with some of the structural stuff and you can create some really dynamic stuff. So it doesn't all have to be these huge, the huge projects are great, but a lot of them, the ones that challenge us design wise, tend to be a little bit smaller and really make us think outside of the box a little bit from a plan standpoint and come up with some awesome solutions.I've been lucky enough to fall in line. I come from a big family of Italian entrepreneurs that they very successfully sold food, but more importantly, created an amazing culture and amazing business wrapped around people. I mean, they have staff that have been part of their team for 40 years because they believe in them, right? They set a path and their customer base, they love the family, they love the people, they love the experience, they love the communication. I've been able to take a lot of those key things.
