9 Facts About Debt That May Alarm You

Some blame a lack of <b>financial knowledge</b> for the high levels of debt we see in households across the country. You may have even heard the term “debt crisis” refer to the tens of thousands of dollars of debt the average household owes. Crisis or no crisis, borrowing and debt are a part of life. And, for the most part, debt is unavoidable. <br /><br />Can you imagine going through your entire life without ever taking on any debt? You would have to pay for your schooling, transportation, housing, and everything else with money you earned and saved up. <b>Unless you were born into a large amount of wealth</b>, this would be exceedingly difficult. <br /> <br />Many people take on debt soon after reaching the age of majority. Whether they buy a car, open up a credit card, or take out student loans, early adulthood is a time when debt offers come from all angles. It requires a degree of self-control and financial knowledge to avoid getting caught in the debt cycle, where you borrow, repay some of what you borrow, only to end up borrowing more.<b> This cycle can last a lifetime</b>. <br /><br />We’ve created a list of the most shocking debt facts and statistics we could find. These data truly paint a picture of the debt problems many Americans are facing. <br /> <br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEi5aZ-PeQQ-WjNnWwwRHQMmHKe1XvRDeTNxir0CZBhEw7YgGWc7xLWpcEs5GE32ZiVLdkKO3n03HFf-hYUAOeWPx25WufBfx1go38xNi8Z4Hs9tn9hp_IE9COMOIf5hsF196XuNLaDBpTPQ-nQk9Q4s3dqlAGvjMaeUilsAiwGFhYVvlj371JfK38vvQyEfp6E5hvlgLtZ63f3Pt7Ad9TGJyjt0CdY=" /><br />Source: Thinkstock <br /><br /><br />We have more student debt than ever before. Pew Research reports that around four in ten <b>(37%) of households</b> led by a person under the age of 40 currently have some student loan debt. This is the highest percentage on record. The graduating class of 2014 is also the most indebted class to ever walk the stage. Wall Street Journal reports that “the average Class of 2014 graduate with student-loan debt has to pay back some<b> $33,000, according to an analysis of government data</b> by Mark Kantrowitz, publisher at Edvisors…Even after adjusting for inflation that’s nearly double the amount borrowers had to pay back 20 years ago.” <b>Slightly over 70% of 2014 grads</b> left school with loans and although they are the most indebted grads ever, they won’t be for long as the 2015 class will likely take the reigns next year. <br /><br /><br />We use our credit cards, a lot. Nerd Wallet reports that the average household owes around<b> $7,300 on their credit cards</b>. But, if we look only at households who use credit cards, that amount goes up to an astonishing $15,607. In total, we owe<b> $880.5 billion in credit card debt</b>. We also owe $8.07 trillion in mortgages, <b>$1.12 trillion in student loans</b>, and a total of $11.63 trillion in total debt. To pay this debt off,every man, women, and child in America would need to contribute more than a typical worker’s median annual salary. <br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEjA2SADnf6G_1tSrjFPCACdqQj0VQl7PnJ3KH5DSUH79d9wjoN0Ux7wcE3ArrWL1ffZc7NUEgp2wEItBwv2nFkLJgsDtrRm6drrfSq5HNoLQivsLtAuSZoXRbIJg_LP8cZrZHx1e10QzH4rWNLrH360L2NnMbDS-XYd8LABckTejv6PKq9WgbqSCcfDvQAQKdMeNrPnvVJW9e4VnJ0MMsQ8KzBpH9U=" /><br />Source: Thinkstock <br /><br /><br />Uncontrollable amounts of debt can contribute to mental health complications. There is a strong correlation between mental health illnesses, like depression and anxiety, and debt. The Huffington Post reports that a “<b>review of 65 studies</b>, published in the journal Clinical Psychology Review, showed that the likelihood of having a mental health problem is three times higher among people who also have debt, compared with people without debt.” <br /><br /><br />Debt can destroy marriages and relationships. <b>According to the CDC</b>, the marriage rate is 6.8 per 1,000 people and <b>the divorce rate is 3.6 per 1,000</b>, which is surprisingly high. Psychology Today foundthat couples who disagree about their finances on a <b>weekly basis are 30% more</b> likely to divorce over time than those who disagree about finances only periodically. Debt is also a common cause of arguments, which also contribute to break-ups and divorces. <br /><br /><br />Medical debt plagues millions of Americans. Nerd Wallet found that <b>56 million Americans</b> under the age of<b> 65 have trouble paying medical bills</b> and 17 million of them will lower their credit ratings as a result. To save money, 25 million Americans don’t take their prescription medications as prescribed (they skip doses and try to stretch them out). A shocking 1.7 million people will end up declaring bankruptcy because of their medical bills.<br /><br /><a href="http://wallstcheatsheet.com/personal-finance/5-facts-about-debt-that-may-alarm-you.html/?a=viewall">(Source)</a></div>

6 Fun Facts About The Eiffel Tower

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://www.planetware.com/photos-large/F/eiffel-tower.jpg" /></div>
<div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>At the base of the Eiffel Tower, four curved pillars tilt inward at an angle of 54 degrees. As the pillars rise, and eventually join, the angle of each gradually decreases. At the top of the Tower, the merged pillars are almost vertical (zero degrees). French engineer Gustave Eiffel calculated that 54° angle as one that would minimize wind resistance. In interviews at the time, Eiffel said that his Tower’s shape was “molded by the forces of the wind,” notes Patrick Weidman. He’s an engineer now retired from the University of Colorado Boulder.<br /><br /></li>
<li>The Tower took 2 years, 2 months and 5 days to build. For 41 years after it opened in 1889, the Eiffel Tower remained the tallest building in the world. The Chrysler Building in New York City eventually surpassed the Tower’s height in 1930. But Eiffel’s building remained the tallest in France until 1973.<br /><br /></li>
<li>The Tower weighs 10,100 metric tons and has 1,665 steps. It was assembled from 18,000 parts, held together by 2.5 million rivets. To keep it from rusting, the Tower is repainted with 60 metric tons of paint every 7 years. It takes about 18 months for 25 painters using 1,500 brushes to repaint the entire Tower.<br /><br /></li>
<li>Because heat causes the metal Tower to expand and cold causes it to shrink, the height of the Tower can vary with the outside temperature by 15 centimeters (5.9 inches). Winds can cause the top of the Tower to sway, side-to-side, by up to 7 centimeters (2.8 inches).<br /><br /></li>
<li>Roughly 250 million people have visited the tower since it opened. Take a virtual tour in French or English <a href="http://www.toureiffel.paris/360-panorama-paris/index-en.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>.<br /><br /></li>
<li>A month after its opening, the Tower had working elevators. This was a huge feat, considering the curves of the Tower and the weight those elevators had to carry. The Tower still has two of its original elevators. Each year, the Tower’s elevators travel a combined distance equal to 2.5 trips around the world, or more than 103,000 kilometers (64,000 miles).</li>

7 Facts You Must Know About Lung Cancer

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<img height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEizaN46F-D20NfsatEBSCqA8thQ6evsNUhqQLhxOkO2qirjo3CXaqJTPERYZERD1aDADkyPCcVF6hCznpLJ4QFVZIKmOTRjDUXBQrJXkb797TnRHIGh3jwnMP5AMoJFmVKODfJonBft7TY8mmkQdndb0wxAMQUODHdoW46Tmx-yGyHkn9FAhZXP2_4eoo3n4zqvCK4qAKJp_uiBOIKtOw=" width="640" /><br />

<br />
Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in both men and women. With increasing prevalence of smoking, lung cancer has reached epidemic proportions in India. It has surpassed the earlier commonest form of cancer. In addition to smoking, occupational exposure to carcinogens, indoor air pollution and dietary factors have recently been implicated in the causation of lung cancer. Let's look at some basic facts of lung cancer:<br />
<div>
<br />
<b>1. Smoking Is The Leading Risk Factor For Lung Cancer</b><br />
Smoking is the biggest risk factor, for almost 87 per cent of lung cancers are related to smoking. The risk depends on how long one has been <a href="http://www.mensxp.com/special-features/today/23696-this-brilliant-chanting-lighter-may-finally-make-you-quit-smoking.html">smoking</a>, the age when they started and number of tobacco products smoked per day.</div>
<div>
<br />
<b>2. Lung Cancer Targets More Than Just Smokers</b></div>
<div>
The greatest risk factor for lung cancer is smoking, but passive smokers can also develop lung cancer. Almost 10 to 15 per cent of lung cancer cases occur in non-smokers, and many of these patients are women.</div>
<div>
<br />
<b>3. There Are Two Types Of Lung Cancer</b><br />
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEgo3X3JYuQsCllLblKT_Q0ZxMwtXttqWnG2PVXkZW74ghUh1GQ7odi30SIOce0I1R-CCoXbylLNBQB0y8UzfTcgwDbbxsWl0d-mTyNNViIuCbwGSa-sYzvvHHOQD-5vw3NdH_2ydgTw71gjRIJKo9h_AYdkWcq9PsLONo8_nJ9eNkCxA-K2GvvCgGG_Rv81vbCKqSedRaSgP_2voiQrPg=" /><br />

<br />
Almost 85- 90 per cent of lung cancers are the Non-small Cell type. This cancer grows slowly and does not spread quickly to other organs. The other type, Small Cell Carcinoma, tends to grow faster and spreads to other organs.</div>
<div>
<br />
<b>4. Know The Warning Signs</b></div>
<div>
Both men and women should know the warning signs of lung cancer. They can be subtle but symptoms to be aware of include coughing regularly, shortness of breath, appetite or weight loss, wheezing and coughing blood. If you have these symptoms, see a doctor immediately.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>5. CT Screenings Can Save Lives</b><br />
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEgMtsq24pSVJT7Ei5D5NRmZmjuKMmVm1o5GtgqqNMp6hI2xUx3wEvEkY3pMAwc9Q3DldVUaSJdFh7SXDDE9L_ItfxPsNDPjUJBfa_7duoYhzJ7Yt4xjWH4btCNTV4BLfwSyzwS46ZEm23k4_Q9YkOPx2D5c7A8zxG2c2K6d-alnna_YpgC3xDdTdnBCtUv441s7nm9CMzgasJpsjScDSQ=" /><br />

<br />
Detecting lung cancer can be difficult, but now there are improvised screening tests. But results from the National Lung Screening Trial suggest that screening high-risk individuals with low-dose CT scans can detect tumors at an earlier stage, resulting in improved lung cancer survival. Screening is currently recommended for people who are between the ages of 55 and 74 and who have smoked a pack a day for 30 years and quit less than 15 years ago.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>6. New Therapies Show Promise</b></div>
<div>
With updated technology and advanced medication, treatments are available for lung cancer too, depending on cancer type, tumor location, stage and overall health. Options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy or a combination.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>7. It's Never Too Late To Quit Smoking</b><br />
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEirHs-httBdaxCr8G6JfAKbKjj9MKTLw4FOXxZo1wv-w34vmCnkjTyJYduejnFaCjkFhlCkbNN2MYoCVWWByQboMtiLxmm2pqXO3i5KOTv7SqHTQ1RrXo914xutyvSuotttHgpHCgTCfu-YvHph9fuNkWMe5h1TBQ7Zz4ghc3iNzpTwDxwVOanjFpU-jZgLCsLIoyMEX6XkCs0c6gU59Q=" /><br />

<br />
Smoking is injurious to health, even the packets claim so. For those who do <a href="http://www.mensxp.com/health/live-healthy/8994-10-most-fatal-chemicals-in-a-cigarette.html">smoke</a> and decide to quit, within weeks to months the risks of heart attack and lung cancer is reduced.<br />

10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
1. The continents look entirely different than you think they do.</h3>
The map you're used to is more Western-focused and stretches out the size of continents near the poles. Africa and South America are actually way bigger. Here's a more accurate representation of the world, according to the The Gall-Peters Projection map, created in 1885.<br />
<br />
<img alt="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" height="407" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1395882/thumbs/o-D-570.jpg?1" title="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" width="640" /><br />
<br />

<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
2. If you believe that you're truly one in a million, there are still approximately 7,184 more people out there just like you.</h3>
<img alt="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" height="426" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1395897/thumbs/o-99289703-570.jpg?1" title="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" width="640" /><br />
<br />
You aren't that special! There are over 7 billion people on the planet right now. Each and every one of them should be treated with respect.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
3. There are castles and even lighthouses that are less expensive than NYC apartments.</h3>
<img alt="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" height="479" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1395925/thumbs/o-99289703-570.jpg?1" title="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" width="640" /><br />
<br />
With New York City rent rising over an average $3,000 a month even in Brooklyn this year, it's becoming more and more appealing to perhaps move somewhere else. If you're one of the lucky ones who has a bit of money to burn, might as well spend it on a real-life castle or lighthouse, right?<br />
<br />

<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
4. The United States hasn't even made it into the Top 50 list oflongest-lasting empires.</h3>
<img alt="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" height="479" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1395959/thumbs/o-98479731-570.jpg?1" title="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" width="640" /><br />
<br />
The United States has only been around for a blip in history. Institutions like Bank of America aren't even 100 years old. This doesn't necessarily discount their trustworthiness, but just make sure to remember that not all pillars of authority are eternal.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
5. 10 percent of the entire world population is still illiterate.</h3>
<img alt="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" height="426" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1395972/thumbs/o-171951785-570.jpg?1" title="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" width="640" /><br />
<br />
Unfortunately certain countries are also skewing the data upwards on this statistic. Nations such as Afghanistan only have a 28 percent literacy rate for the total population.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
6. You thoroughly enjoy celebrating some pretty dark holidays.</h3>
<img alt="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" height="538" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1396064/thumbs/o-152406183-570.jpg?1" title="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" width="640" /><br />
<br />
Labor Day was created as a bandaid to coverup multiple massacres of American workers. Columbus Day is named after a brutal tyrant whose history is largely a fraud.Thanksgiving is a sham celebration of Pilgrims and Native Americans coming together. Really, just don't celebrate anything.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
7. A whole ecosystem lives in your belly button.</h3>
<img alt="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" height="491" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1396369/thumbs/o-82755209-570.jpg?1" title="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" width="640" /><br />
<br />
Scientists found 2,368 different species of bacteria living in belly buttons after swabbing the navels of just 60 people. In that study, 1,458 might have been entirely new to the scientific record. Aladdin could have showed Jasmine a "whole new world" just by looking toward their stomachs.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
8. You can't see as many colors as a chicken. You'll also never see all the beautiful colors of a rainbow.</h3>
<img alt="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" height="426" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1396168/thumbs/o-149626287-570.jpg?1" title="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" width="640" /><br />
<br />
Everyday you are missing out on aspects of the universe simply because our bodies cannot process their wonders. How can we be supreme rulers of the world and have full domain over all other living beings when chickens can see more colors than we can? We need to rethink our place. Also rainbows are actually made up of more than 1 million colors, many of which we can't see either. We are missing out!<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
9. We haven't figured out the secret to immortality, but this jellyfish has.</h3>
<a href="http://imgur.com/aRP9hox"><img alt="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" height="640" src="http://i.imgur.com/aRP9hox.jpg" title="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" width="521" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
The Turritopsis nutricula can live forever by reverting back to its early stage of life after becoming sexually mature. Although immortality may not be a real possibility for humans just yet, it is good to know that the basic idea isn't just science fiction.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
10. Americans spend 38 hours a year stuck in traffic.</h3>
<img alt="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" height="426" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1396175/thumbs/o-94433457-570.jpg?1" title="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" width="640" /><br />
<br />
Almost an entire work week of just being stuck! Washingtonians have it worst with an average of 67 hours a year, which is time they probably wish they could have back.<br />
