There are people on social media who actually wrote, "Let's just hope the kid dies from cancer or better I am hoping kareena was infected with Zika during her pregnancy". Kareena Kapoor  Khan and  Saif Ali Khan  are blessed with a baby boy and they have named the newborn Taimur Ali Khan Pataudi. Now, what they name their kid is entirely their prerogative. Commenting on whether you like it or not is acceptable because we live in a country that gives freedom of expression (mostly) but wishing ill for the kid who’s just a day old is crossing all boundaries of human decency. There are people on social media who actually wrote, “Let’s just hope the kid dies from cancer or better I am hoping kareena was infected with Zika during her pregnancy”. The comment came after a tweet by Pakistan-origin Canadian author Tarek Fatah, who has been posting about Saifeena’s baby ever since the name was announced. The author turned the discussion in another direction by relating l...

                 As a group, Americans are woefully underprepared for retirement. Roughly 1 in 3 don’t have anything at all saved for retirement, according to a  spring 2016 survey  by finance portal GoBankingRates.com. Even more disturbing, a 2015 study by the  U.S. Government Accountability Office  found that  29% of Americans 55 and older  — that is, those theoretically toward the end of their working life — have neither a pension plan nor a dime in savings to support them in retirement. Some folks have a good reason they aren’t saving, such as unemployment or health problems. But millions of others have the means and ability to sock away a decent nest egg, but simply haven’t managed to build up the savings they need.   If you have the means and ability to save but are still way behind on the road to retirement, then chances are you’re probably making at least one of these common investing mistakes...
