Here are three of those habits you can start right away that can put you on a path toward building wealth. You don't need to track every single dollar you spend or make major cuts to your discretionary spending to get started. Nevertheless, to make your money work for you, you need a basic understanding of what you're spending it on. "Start small [by] tracking just a few key areas: food, entertainment, gas, and clothes." To prepare for unexpected expenses big and small, start setting aside emergency savings.

Around 7 p.m. — about two hours after we arrived — doctors explained our mother had an aortic dissection, a tear in the body's largest artery. She was rushed into emergency surgery, which lasted until 4 a.m.That night, Julio and I were just worried about whether our mother would make it. Watching our mom go through emergency surgery was terrible. We decided, with our doctor's blessing, to do the surgery on the same day. After seeing our sisters and mother go through emergency surgery, just waking up each day and seeing the sunshine is a blessing.

At a general store in New Jersey, near the epicenter of the earthquake, the sound was so loud that the staff thought a truck had crashed into the building. Five miles away, at some riding stables, the ground shook so forcefully that it sent three horses galloping around the ring. Within hours, a custom T-shirt shop in Manhattan was already selling a souvenir: a shirt emblazoned with, “I Survived The N.Y.C.

☆ The East Coast earthquake came from a fault that's been asleep for hundreds of millions of years but suddenly reactivated
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-05 | by ( Morgan Mcfall-Johnsen | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

The 4.8-magnitude earthquake on the East Coast Friday came from ancient dormant faults. The East Coast, however, is located in the middle of a plate and doesn't experience much of that movement. NOAAInstead, East Coast quakes come from stress that builds up on those ancient fault lines. The glaciers heavily weighed down and compressed the northern part of the East Coast. Though that weight has been lifted for more than 10,000 years, the Earth's crust is still rising back to its former shape.

☆ It’s not just you. Here’s why pollen allergies are worse than ever
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-04 | by ( Brenda Goodman | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

Rising temperatures are also allowing plants to bloom earlier and longer, prolonging pollen seasons. Increased rainfall means plants release more pollen when they bloom, and higher numbers of thunderstorms cause pollen grains to burst, making them more irritating and worsening symptoms. Shifting wind patterns in some parts of the world are carrying pollen over longer distances, too. Experts think more exposure to pollen equals more chances to be sensitized, which equals more allergies. So someone in Illinois, for example, might be seeing bigger changes in pollen than somebody in Texas – although Texas gets blasted with pollen, too.

☆ New Jersey Challenges N.Y.C. Congestion Pricing in Federal Court

Federal transportation officials allowed New York to move ahead with congestion pricing without fully addressing how traffic and pollution would be shifted to its neighbors across the Hudson River as drivers avoid the new tolls, a lawyer for the State of New Jersey argued in federal court on Wednesday. Now, as traffic patterns change, those New Jersey communities will be forced to shoulder the environmental burdens of the tolling program while New York receives all the benefits, the lawyer, Randy M. Mastro, said in his opening remarks in New Jersey’s lawsuit against congestion pricing. “It isn’t about whether you like or don’t like congestion pricing,” Mr. Mastro said in a courtroom in Newark. The issue is whether the Federal Highway Administration “took a hard look” at the potential environmental effects. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the state agency overseeing congestion pricing in New York, has repeatedly said that New Jersey communities were extensively studied in an environmental assessment.

☆ New Jersey Ballot Ruling Applies Only to Democratic Race, Judge Says
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-31 | by ( Stefanos Chen | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

New Jersey moved a step closer last week toward overhauling its unique-in-the-nation election ballots, in a decision that could reshape party politics in the state for years to come. On Saturday, the federal judge who ordered the redesign, in response to a lawsuit filed in February by three Democratic candidates, said in a statement that only the Democratic primary, which includes the race to replace Senator Robert Menendez, would have to use the new ballot. The Republican ballot, he wrote, can stay the same, though he said his order did not prohibit Republican leaders from choosing to alter their party’s ballot. The clarification is the latest twist in a long legal battle in New Jersey to shift the balance of electoral power away from party-backed candidates and open the door for newcomers in both parties. “If this decision holds, it will completely upend New Jersey politics.”

A federal judge has granted an emergency request to force New Jersey to redesign its election ballot before the June primary, upending a longstanding source of electoral power for the state’s Democratic and Republican parties. The ruling, issued on Friday, is expected to fundamentally reshape politics in New Jersey and will have an immediate effect on June’s primary races. “The integrity of the democratic process for a primary election is at stake,” wrote Zahid N. Quraishi of U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey in a 49-page decision. “Plaintiffs have put forth credible evidence not only that their constitutional rights are violated by the present ballot design used in New Jersey, which is used in no other state in the country,” he wrote, adding, “but that defendants would suffer minimal harm in implementing the ballot design requested.”

But truth be told, those mouthwatering advertised jackpot numbers aimed at tempting people to buy tickets are misleading.
