Question: Hi there, I am traveling to New York city for the upcoming July 4 weekend. Can you suggest any hotels outside NYC that have a free shuttle to New York city? I see a big price difference in staying in within NYC and out of the city. Do any of the hotels near the airports offer a free shuttle into the city or do I have to take a cab? I need recommendations on where to stay. I may be coming with Amtrak, but its not finalized.

Answer: If you are coming via Amtrak, you can book at the Hilton in Woodbridge, NJ. The Hilton is at an easy walking distance of the Amtrak Metropark train station. From there, you can commute into the city by New Jersey Transit trains that run regularly throughout the day and evening. The Hilton’s weekend rates are quite good, particularly in comparison with hotels in Manhattan. It also works well if you’re driving, as the hotel is just off Exit 131A of the Garden State, and has free parking.

Beware: Don’t Send Money Through Western Union To Chinese Suppliers!

Question: I have found an electronic product (Laptop) that a Chinese company is selling on Alibaba.com. They are not accepting PayPal and want payment by Western Union. Is it safe?

Answer: No. It is not safe! Please dump this seller ASAP because it is most likely fraud. A vast majority of Chinese companies operating on Alibaba (and other such sites) are fraud. We have learned this from first hand experience. They are waiting to steal your money, and Western Union is the best way for them because they can vanish after receiving your money.

While we can’t blame Western Union entirely for it, we think that Western Union does not mind such fraud. Otherwise, why do they allow people/companies to operate accounts from China even after their names are listed as scam all over the web?

So yes, it is very risky if you are sending money to people that you do not know. With Western Union, there is no way to guarantee that the receiver will send you the good.

Question: Can you please guide me on the Bankruptcy Law in the USA? What are the key points to keep in mind? And what is Chapter 13 bankruptcy?  Thanks. – Chang from Mountain View, CA.

Answer: The new bankruptcy law is tougher that the old one of 1978. It tightens the requirements of those who are filing for bankruptcy and for the attorneys that are helping them.

Under the new bankruptcy law, several major changes were initiated. Here are some key points:

  1. There is now a “Means Test” that is used so that you can show that you are not abusing the use of bankruptcy. Herein your monthly income is considered, minus certain expenses that are allowed. If you come out above the “median income” you will have to file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
  2. Read more

Question: Hello there, I am male in mid 40s and I wanted to ask if anti aging supplements really work? We see a wide range of ads in the media, but do you know if any them work for real? Thank you.
- James from NYC

Answer: You are right, we can’t trust all ads shown in the media. Its always better to seek real-life references. However, anti aging natural supplements do work, though their effect will depend on your lifestyle, because anti aging natural supplements are basically meant to make up for deficiencies in the human diet.

Although it has been scientifically proven that anti aging supplements can help to avert many of the conditions associated with old age, it is important to realize that these supplements cannot do it on their own.

Here are a few important ingredients that you should look for when shopping for anti aging natural supplements: Read more
