Especially in uncertain times like these, the dream of owning one's home free and clear is an enticing one. On the other hand, isn't saving for retirement, or college funds more important? According to Business Insider, if you have the opportunity to pay off your mortgage early, the deciding factor comes down to just one thing: interest rates. If the rate on your mortgage is higher than the rate you'd earn by investing cash in the stock market, pay down the debt first. But before you do that, run the numbers to see if refinancing your mortgage would make sense. If so, you can apply the freed-up cash towards your high-interest debt. Once that's cleared up, pay off the mortgage!
Even though we're in a new year, our daily routine and its accompanying COVID-19 restrictions may seem repetitive. If we're not careful, monotony can lead to depression and all its unpleasant knock-on effects. But according to HuffPost, psychologists say there are ways to deal with boredom. First, plan fun things you can do, even if you're in lockdown, like reading books or painting a wall. Second, write down something you noticed that's blessedly different, like a growing flower, or melting snow. Finally, if you are grieving, acknowledge it. Reach out for the support you need, and don't give up.

Chinn says the most important things to have are a sense of humor and good hair products for every step along the way.
A tattoo is the sharpest and vibrant is ever going to look right at the end of the session. The work will still look good when healed if it was done by a talented, professional tattoo artist. But according to Allure, other factors influence how long that ink will still look fresh. For instance, keep tattooed skin away from the sun. Sun damage can make the ink fade. Also, avoid putting tattoos on skin that is prone to sagging with age, or by fluctuations in weight or muscle. Finally, stay away from exfoliators for the first three months in the life of your tattoo. After that, use retinols to keep it looking more lively--and less lived-in!
