Trust is essential for any kind of interpersonal relationship, be it a friendship or a relationship – it should serve as the foundation for a durable and strong connection that transcends the time barrier. Trust is incredibly difficult to earn and very easy to lose, and you cannot possibly have any serious connection with a person unless you trust them. However, one thing is for sure: while some people come off as trustworthy from the first minute you see them, others may be a bit shady and give you strong reasons to doubt their honesty. If you do not want to waste your time with somebody who is not worthy of your attention and your honesty, then here are some of the signs that should trigger an alarm and raise some question marks: 1. He/She Suddenly Cancels Plans Have you been planning that special night out for the entire week, only to be told by your girlfriend or boyfriend that something came up? Does he or she blow off your plans without actually giving you a strong reason for it? On one hand, the chances are that the person in question is simply unreliable, not necessarily dishonest – on the other hand, you should always consider the possibility that he or she is lying to you, especially if there are some weird excuses involved. Trustworthy, honest and reliable people never act shady and they never wait until the last minute to cancel plans, unless it is something very serious – if it is not, then it should get you thinking! 2. He/She Simply “Forgets” To Mention Something There are two types of lies: the deliberate lie, where somebody lies to you on purpose hoping that the truth would never come to light, and the...

A few weeks ago my 4 year had a toothache, and in addition to it being the middle of the night – there was also a bigger problem: we didn’t have INSURANCE.

Pundits, CEOs and columnists constantly debate whether women can “have it all.”But a large swath of working mothers in America have no choice, but to do it all: They spend their days toiling away at department stores or cleaning other people’s houses then rush home to take care of their kids. And these working moms struggle to get by. Fifty-eight percent of working families headed by women were low-income in 2012, according to a report released this week by the Working Poor Families Project, an organization focused on state workforce development policies. That’s up from 54 percent in 2007, the researchers found. For these women simply “leaning in” isn’t going to help much. The term, coined by Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg, has come to stand for women demanding a seat at the table in business. It’s also not enough to seek the more flexible work schedules some workers are increasingly demanding. These working women are clustered in industries, like retail, food service and home healthcare that typically offer few benefits and little opportunity for advancement. Here’s a look at the hurdles low-income working mothers face and some policy suggestions. Nearly Half Of Poor Working Mothers Didn’t Make It Past High School. Nearly 50 percent of low-income working moms had a high school education or less in 2012, the Working Poor Families report found. The report suggests providing support systems, like affordable child care, which increase the chance of actually making it through school.
