$aving money

is so important for many 
reasons. Some of the reasons that saving money is so important have to do with security and safety, while other important reasons for saving money have more to do just with the practical aspect of trying to plan ahead for major expenses.In terms of emergencies, it is so important to be saving money. While no one likes to think about the possibility that they will lose their job, become disabled, or have some other sort of disastrous financial crisis, the fact of the matter is that it happens to people all of the time.

 Even much smaller emergencies, such as needing car repairs, are better handled by having saved money along the way, as opposed to having to scrape money together during a crisis. Saving money is so important for these types of situations. If at all possible, you should have a savings of three months worth of your expenses to help in case of emergencies.

Saving money is important for planning ahead, too. Almost every parent would like to see their children go to college, for example. However, many children will not be able to go to college on scholarships. Those that do not will either have to find a way to pay for college or to take out student loans. Student loans may not even cover all of their expenses. Saving money is an important part of providing for your child or childrens’ education. Education is not the only area that parents should save for, in regard to their children. For example, in the same way that parents save money as an important part of education, they may also save money for their childrens weddings, or to help their child buy their first car, or even their first home.

Finally, saving money can be an important part of just enjoying life. Taking a trip to Disney World is a lot more enjoyable when you know that you have paid for the trip with money from savings, as opposed to using credit cards and having to pay for the trip for years to come.

WHAT TO PACK IN YOUR EMERGENCY HEALTH KIT

WHAT TO PACK IN YOUR

EMERGENCY HEALTH KIT

A health kit should be a home staple, since you never know when illness or accidents may strike. “ It’s very important to have your own first aid kit because when medical emergencies be happen, you can immediately give initial treatment to remedy the problem and prevent to minimize its complications.” 

1. PARACETAMOL

Also known as over-the-counter acetaminophem, this all-around painkiller can nip that killer headache , dysmenorrheal cramps, toothache, and fever in the bud. It’s kid-friendly, too, so it’s safe for your li’l bro or sis to taken in safe dosages.

2. IBUPROFEN

Just like paracetamol, ibuprofen is an OTC drug that serves as a painkiller. The defference is that ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) Which means it can also used for joint pains caused by inflammation.

3. ANTACID

If you feel a bit of discomfort in your stomach – plus a lot of belching , nausea , and farting ( ewww, we know) – hyperacidity may be the culprit , and popping an antacid may help ease your tummy troubles.

4. ANTIHISTAMINE

 These meds block allergens ( which cause you to sneeze uncontrollably or develop a skin rash) from acting on your tissues, and provide temporary relief.

5. LOPERAMIDE 

Tummy having the runs? Loperamide is your best bet to control diarrhea--- especially if the nearest loo is way too far!

6. ANALGESIC BALM OR SPRAY

To temporarily clear a stuffy nose, sniff a whiff of analgesic balm—like this herbal-based one, which contains menthol crystals, camphor , eucalyptus , and lavender oils.

7. HYDROGEN PEROXIDE

In safe amounts, hydrogen peroxide can be used either as a disinfectant or antiseptic. For minor cuts and wounds , pour a small amount on a control ball and apply to the wound to clean it up before bandaging.

8. MEDICAL ADHESIVE TAPE

9. COTTON BALLS/ COTTON BUDS

10.ELASTIC BANDAGE, BAND AIDS

11.TWEEZERS AND SCISSORS

12.ETHYL OR ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL

13. THERMOMETER

14.COLD PACKS

FIRST AID FOR COMMON EMERGENCIES

Know these common first aid moves. Who knows? You might just save a life next time.

TREATING BURNS!!!

If the burn is minor, run cool water over the area and dress up with sterile bandage to protect it from friction. Major burns require professional help , but don’t touch clothing that has stuck to skin, and check for signs of breathing.

FIRST AID FOR FAINTING!!!

Let the victim lie on her back and elevate feet higher than heart level to get blood flowing to the head. Loosen clothing especially belts and collars, and check if pulse and breathing are strong and regular. Call for help ASAP!.

CONTROLLING BLEEDING!!!

Immediately lay the person down, and try to elevate the wound above heart level, if possible. Apply direct pressure on the wound by pressing a clean, folded cloth over it. If bleeding isn’t reduced, tie an elastic bandage as tourniquet directly above the wound to control blood flow.
