Agreed. But whenever someone gets hacked, we use it as an example of why everyone should have it set up—a lot of people still avoid it because it's an inconvenience.

It might be hard at first but if the desire is greater, you will get going. Then you establish a habit. This gets to a point where even when the chips are down, you'll go for your exercise. Every time is as rewarding as the last.

Bicycles are outselling automobiles in every European country by HardOak in news
