Natural Disaster or Personal Crisis: Be Prepared for a Financial Emergency

Submitted by JamesBF on Tue, 02/05/2013 - 6:02pm

A flat tire on your way to work can cause you to miss that day on the job, and for some, the hourly pay that comes with it. A blown head gasket or transmission failure, however, can not only cost you that day, but also your means of transportation and subsequently your job. Financial emergencies happen at the most inopportune times, which is why preparation is vitally important. Planning for these types of situations should begin sooner rather than later to prevent one of life's hiccups spiraling out of control.

Egg Donation - Alot is currently being said about egg donors and their "place" in this world of third party family building. First, we had Melanie Thernstrom and her "twiblings", then we are seeing the reinvigeration of "Eggsploitation." I actually congratulate Jennifer Lahl on winning a California Independent Film Award, as her film is creating a discourse that is needed, albeit on the sensational side.
