Three Evergreen Steps to Cut College Costs (https://www.wealthmanagement.com/college-planning/three-evergreen-steps-cut-college-costs)
by Lynn O'Shaughnessy
Even if the college tuition days are a distant memory, you might have children, nieces, or nephews to arm with this information. Online calculators and school web-sites are the best places to find some of the article's recommended tools.
1. Use an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) calculator -- this helps target schools with generous need-based aid or merit scholarships, as the situation would dictate. The College Board has an EFC calculator.
2. Don't apply without using a school's net price calculator -- get a realistic idea of the sticker price, including likely financial aid. This might keep unaffordable "dream schools" off the application list now to avoid heartache later.
3. Save as much as possible -- savings don't hurt financial aid as much as most folks think. Retirement accounts aren't counted at all.

Due to all the time spent at home because of the pandemic, home improvements are at an all-time high. Whether you’re putting on an addition, renovating your kitchen, making your home more accessible, or investing in outdoor spaces to extend livable space, it is wise to anticipate delays and higher costs.
Demand for materials like lumber and concrete has increased supply prices, and jobs may take longer than expected due to labor demand and distribution delays. You’ll probably need to be flexible with your overall plans and prepared for higher-than-normal prices for some items.
Better Homes & Gardens has the following 15 tips for a successful remodeling project, including budgets, timelines, contractors, resale concerns, etc.

How healthy are eggs? It’s about 78 calories and an efficient, rich source of protein and vitamins. A large egg contains about 6 grams of protein. Eggs are also a good source of nutrients, including vitamin D (aids bone health and the immune system) and choline (which helps your metabolism and liver function, as well as fetal brain development.) Egg yolks also can be good for the eyes; they are significant sources of lutein and zeaxanthin, which have been found to reduce the risks of cataracts and macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in people 55 and older.
However, egg yolks are also known for their cholesterol. A typical large egg contains 186 mg of cholesterol. 186mgs is more than half the amount previously recommended for daily consumption before federal dietary guidelines (https://health.gov/dietaryguidelines/2015/guidelines/chapter-1/a-closer-look-inside-healthy-eating-patterns/) dropped the numerical goal in 2015, citing a lack of scientific evidence for a specific limit.
So, are eggs good for you or not? (https://www.heart.org/en/news/2018/08/15/are-eggs-good-for-you-or-not#:~:text=A%20large%20egg%20contains%20about,well%20as%20fetal%20brain%20development)
This American Heart Association (AHA) article states that the key is to know your own risk factors. In general, people at risk for heart disease, who have diabetes, or who have had a heart attack should pay close attention to the amount of cholesterol in their diet. The AHA further suggests one egg (or two egg whites) per day for people who eat them is part of a healthy diet. Egg whites provide plenty of protein without the cholesterol of the yolk.
Now about the bacon…
