Fireworks Safety
-Did you know some fireworks are illegal? Before purchasing fireworks check with your local fire marshal’s office to determine what fireworks are permissible in your locality.
-Purchase fireworks from licensed/permitted fireworks stands.
-Never light fireworks indoors or near dry grass.
-Always have a bucket of water and/or a fire extinguisher nearby. Know how to properly operate the fire extinguisher.
-Do not wear loose clothing while using fireworks.
-Stand several feet away from lighted fireworks. If fireworks do not go off, do not stand over them to investigate; douse them with water and carefully dispose of them.
-Always read the directions and warning labels on fireworks. If the fireworks are not marked with the contents, directions, and warning labels, do not light them.
-Supervise children around fireworks at all times.
-If not handled properly, fireworks can cause burn and eye injuries in children and adults. The best way to enjoy fireworks is to visit public fireworks displays put on by professionals who know how to safely handle fireworks.
#7 Get Out of Debt

Statistically, 7 out of 10 Americans are living paycheck to paycheck (8 out of 10 in affluent areas). In other words, at least 70% of our population is one negative financial event away from a major financial crisis. Over 50% of marriages in America end in divorce, and of those failed marriages, money problems are the most common cause.
New Year’s Resolutions
So, it’s January 1, the feeling of a new beginning. The relief that we have left that old year behind, the slate is wiped clean.
Many of us will set some time today to decide what needs to change for the next year, how to accomplish these items and then let them slip way maybe by March, some times we will hold on to them even until June.
