The Controversy of Borrowing Cash from Friends and Family to Invest in Real Estate: Is Grant Cardone Right?

He claims that tapping into the bank accounts of those close to you is a viable option to cover the remaining portion of the investment.

The Role of Friends and Family in Sabotaging Your Diet

A new study by the University of Surrey suggests that friends and family may be the hurdle to weight loss goals. Researchers identified three main ways that the people closest to you can have a big effect on one’s health goals: “sabotage,” “collusion” and “feeding.” Sabotage applies to those who are directly trying to stop weight loss efforts, feeding is overfeeding even when the dieter says they are not hungry, and collusion is when family, friends, and partners collude with those trying to lose weight through “going along” with their behavior when it is not in line with their weight loss goals. The study suggests that support from friends and family can be an invaluable tool in helping people achieve their goals, but sometimes those closest to them thwart their efforts by tempting them with unhealthy food or acting as a barrier in helping them adopt a healthier lifestyle.
