Prom
season means big dreams of the perfect night for young men and women --
and big bills for their parents. A new survey found that the average
family will spend nearly $1,200 on prom outfits, tickets, food and
transportation. On average, teenagers will pick up about 40-percent of
those prom night costs. Source Link
Pregnant
women may not need to worry about having an occasional glass of wine. A
new study found that 7-year olds whose mothers were light drinkers had
no development deficits compared to those children whose mothers
abstained from alcohol during pregnancy. But most doctors still advise
an alcohol-free pregnancy. Source Link
A
national survey found that nearly half all working adults in the United
States would face the prospect of crippling medical bills because they
had no health insurance or inadequate coverage for a serious illness.
Two out of five adults said they had trouble paying a medical bill last
year, and 40-percent said medical debt had lowered their credit rating.
