More than $100 million in missing money in DC

You may have seen e-mails or advertisements about free money available to you if you just contact the company that will get a finder’s fee for helping you. Well, it’s true that there is money out there, but you can get it yourself. In Washington D.C. alone, people are owed more than $100 million in unclaimed money and assets. If unclaimed goods aren’t claimed in three years, the city sells it on eBay and keeps the money. Over the past ten years, the city has gathered a quarter of a billion dollars, and about 80 percent of people never claim it. The Washington Post ran a story listing everyone who had unclaimed money out there. Several celebrities and politicians were on the list. So, check for your name or your relatives’ names at missingmoney.com.

Cancer survival rates improve dramatically

Going back one generation, cancer was considered an automatic death sentence. People had trouble just speaking the word. But, science and medicine have finally converged. Today, roughly two in three people survive cancer. That means that they haven’t had a relapse in more than five years. So, we’ve gone from cancer being hopeless to something very hopeful. The biggest improvement in survival rate has been among children, which is wonderful news. But even with the new medicines and science, people still need to take preventative steps and have diagnostic tests. Early detection in breast cancer can be the difference in life and death. For men, the most important screenings are for colon and prostate cancer. Eating well is important too, despite recent studies showing that what you eat is not that important. Lastly, please don’t smoke. Girls and women are now smoking more than men, and smoking is the biggest contributor to cancer.
