How Rich are the Super Rich?
A huge share of the nation's economic growth over the past 30 years has gone to the top one-hundredth of one percent, who now make an average of $27 million per household. The average income for the bottom 90 percent of us? $31,244.
Note: The 2007 data (the most current) doesn't reflect the impact of the housing market crash. In 2007, the bottom 60% of Americans had 65% of their net worth tied up in their homes. The top 1%, in contrast, had just 10%. The housing crisis has no doubt further swelled the share of total net worth held by the superrich.
The superrich have grabbed the bulk of the past three decades' gains.
Is your protein drink safe? - Consumer Reports
I never knew protein powders could contain so many harmful ingredients! I'm definitely sticking to natural sources of protein like egg whites and fish.

Earnest Eats = Good Eats!
I was recently introduced to a company called Earnest Eats. They make these little food bars that don't look like much but taste amazing! What's great too is that they use all natural ingredients such as organic brown rice syrup, almond butter, and organic whole oats. My favorite flavors are cran lemon zest and almond trail mix. You can find them at Whole Foods and Amazon.com or buy from them directly.

This thing called a BLOG
So one day I decided to give this blog a shot
It seemed like something fun and I figured "hey, why not?"
A medium to channel my experiences and writings
A place to post my photos and share interesting sightings
My goal is to refresh this blog more than once a week
I'll try to add material that's different and unique
We'll see how long I keep this up, it's too early to tell
Writing this in rhyme and verse is giving me much hell
Enjoy my site, be entertained and pour yourself a lager
This is my debut, as Ruby Jao, the blogger.
