    By Olivia Rockerman for Hims
    Over the past few months, protein-rich foods like eggs and beef have experienced significant price increases. The most recent U.S. government data showed a 53% increase in egg prices over the past year, the largest annual jump in two years.

    While you must not neglect working with an attorney to protect your rights, an accountant to minimize your tax burden, and a wealth adviser to safeguard your assets, it’s also necessary to support your mindset, emotional well-being, and personal leadership.
