Warren Buffett's Advice: Invest in Yourself

The best investment you can make...

Warren Buffett.

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett says the very best investment you can make is one that "you can't beat," can't be taxed and not even inflation can take away from you, Zameea Mejia and Marguerite Ward report on cnbc.com.

"Ultimately, there's one investment that supersedes all others: Invest in yourself," Buffett says in a recent interview with Forbes. "Nobody can take away what you've got in yourself, and everybody has potential they haven't used yet."

Why Your TV Shouldn't be Over the Fireplace

Aim for eye-level...

A TV well positioned for viewer enjoyment.

It seems so logical—you want your couch facing your fireplace and your TV, and right above the mantle there’s a beautiful, wide stretch of wall, Jamie Green reports on lifehacker.com.

So you hang your flat-screen right above the fireplace. And you’ve just made a TERRIBLE MISTAKE, Green wrote.
