CHICAGO, Ill. – Ten years ago, Aja McClanahan didn’t think she’d be living on Chicago’s South Side. It also seemed like her family would be forever be in debt.“It was a mountain that I did not think we could ever tackle,” said McClanahan.Her family didn’t owe just a little bit of money. “It was over 0,000,” said McClanahan. McClanahan says everything started with student loans. That was the bulk of her and her family’s debt.“Between my husband and I, we had tons of student loan debt, ,000 between the two of us,” said McClanahan. “Then another ,000 was a mixture of consumer debt, car notes, credit cards, medical bills and things like that.” But the family decided debt was not going to define them forever.“I remember when I had my first child, my daughter, I knew I wanted to stay home with her but when I ran the numbers…we were like between bills rent, debt repayment, student loans, we cannot make this work,” said McClanahan. She says her family wasn’t budgeting before they put a plan together to pay down debt. "We just spent money as it came in and whatever we spent it on,” said McClanahan. “But with a spending plan we could prioritize what is important to us. So, it helped us look at how we were spending our money. And we kind of cut the fat.”They made sacrifices including a move from the suburbs of Chicago to the inner-city South Side neighborhood of Englewood. They inherited a house from a family member. “The first night we were there, we were like this is the stupidest thing we have ever done,” McClanahan said. "It was so noisy. Just the urban soundscape if you’re not used to it. So, it’s like sirens, barking dogs, people yelling and shouting in the alleys. We were like what have we done?”But they settled in and made it their home without paying a mortgage or rent.After about eight years of strict spending, side hustle and chipping away, they finally paid it all off. "The final balance was ,700 or something like that for a student loan or something like that and I remember making the payment or something like that and remember calling my husband and saying we’re debt free,” said McClanahan. McClanahan now works as a speaker and author trying to help other people conquer debt. "I find that a lot of people become hopeless around the holidays when you’re expected to have money to go out to parties to exchange gifts. For some people, they feel powerless and out of control because they don’t have money,” said McClanahan.While money isn’t everything, McClanahan says it can impact's more than just a bottom line.“I feel like money touches every part of our lives and if you can fix that money thing, you can get back more control,” said McClanahan. 2712

Eating a diet of French fries, Pringles and white bread was enough to make one teenage boy lose his sight, according to a case study published in a medical journal.Scientists from the University of Bristol examined the case of a young patient whose extremely picky eating led to blindness, and have warned of the dangers of a poor diet.The unidentified patient told doctors he had only eaten fries from the fish and chip shop, Pringles potato chips, white bread, slices of processed ham and sausage since elementary school, and he avoided foods with certain textures. He first visited a doctor at age 14, complaining of tiredness, according to a case report published in the Annals of Internal Medicine on Monday.He wasn't taking any medication, had a normal BMI and height, and showed no visible signs of malnutrition.Doctors discovered low vitamin B12 levels and anemia, treating the patient with vitamin B12 injections and offering dietary advice.One year later there were signs of hearing loss and vision symptoms, but doctors did not find the cause.His vision had worsened to the point of blindness by 17 years of age, and doctors identified vitamin B12 deficiency, low copper and selenium levels, a high zinc level, reduced vitamin D level and bone level density, according to a 1297

DALLAS, Texas — Some co-workers have found something new to bond them this holiday: A cocktail class at the office.Marisa Jeffrey said her office wanted to do something different this year, so she dressed as a fireplace. “I really liked the light up aspect of this one…,” she said, pointing to the holiday onesie she was wearing. Her colleagues were wearing similar ones with elves and reindeer and more.They are taking a cocktail class at a bar where a fun outfit is almost a requirement.“We really wanted people to step through the door and be transformed,” said Scott Jenkins of Miracle at Hide in Dallas, Texas.Jenkins is co-owner of Dallas bar “Hide,” which, this month, is called “Miracle at Hide” — a temporary holiday pop-up bar. The response?“It’s uh I can’t even put it into words. It’s been insane,” Jenkins said.Word-of-mouth has led to lines out the door… even on a weekday — all for a Christmas bar.It’s a “snowball effect, so to speak,” Jenkins said.That snowball started rolling 5 years ago at New York bar “Mace”— where founder Greg Boehm started the concept, calling it “Miracle on 9th St.” The name pays homage to the 1947 holiday classic, “Miracle on 34th St.”He’s since turned “Miracle” into a franchise. And as of this season, they’ve partnered with 84 bars around the world, including Panama, Mexico and New Zealand.He thinks he knows the secret to its popularity.“Christmas is generally a very stressful time of year for a lot of people, and I think a lot’s happening in the world that’s creating additional stress,” said Greg Boehm, founder of Miracle. “ And when you walk into a Miracle its very much transporting you into a different place, a different time. There’s some nostalgia.”Bars such as Hide pay a flat rate to the Miracle team.Everything from the greeting-card inspired menus, the glassware — even the garnishes — are on theme. Stirring up a signature Christmapolitan cocktail — their take on a cosmo — Jenkins’ co-owner at Hide, Nick Backlund, says he thought he’d quickly get sick of the holiday tunes.“I was gonna be really mad about Christmas music every day but now I’m singing them all the time,” Backlund said.Jenkins says the response to a Christmas bar is, in a way, heartwarming.“To be honest it gives me a little bit of hope. it’s something that, especially in the weird kind of climate we have today, people are out being happy, spreading cheer, having fun, being lighthearted,” Jenkins said.The only thing that could make it better? According to one woman — maybe if the bar … came to you. 2551

DENVER — On World Autism Awareness Day Tuesday, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis signed a bill that expands medical marijuana use. Advocates have been fighting for two years to add autism to a list of qualifying medical conditions in Colorado.“I definitely believe it’s going to help kids for many reasons," said Michelle Walker, a parent of an autistic child who has other conditions that qualified him for medical marijuana. "One of the biggest reasons is I’ve seen it. I’ve seen my son’s life change. I’ve seen our family’s life change. It’s done a 180, and we’re not the only ones."Walker and her family moved to Colorado for the sole reason of obtaining medical marijuana for her son. He was able to start using medical marijuana to treat his seizures but said she also noticed a difference in his overall behavior."So I know it is an option for others and that it can be a beneficial option," Walker said.Walker and other families were at the Colorado State Capitol last year when a similar bill was vetoed. Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper did not sign off on the bill because he said more research was needed."It was heartbreaking," she said. "I cried, and my son has access, but to look in these families eyes after they had fought so hard, it was crushing."Those parents cried happy tears when Polis signed the bill on Tuesday. Jackie Bess brought her son Jackson to the governor's office to take part in the celebration. She hopes the move will help normalize the use of medical marijuana for autism ensuring parents will be able to talk about it with their child's doctor."Right now doctors won’t talk to us about it," Bess said. "Definitely, it will help other families."Bess and Walker agree that medical marijuana might not be the right solution for all kids with autism, but they believe families should have the option to try it."We’re not saying medical marijuana for anyone, anything," Bess said. "We’re saying autism is special and it requires some more tools in our toolbox," 2008

Defense Secretary Mark Esper explicitly says he's seen no hard evidence that four American embassies had been under possible threat when President Donald Trump authorized the targeting of Iran’s top commander. Esper's comments in Sunday television interviews raises questions about the scale of the threat described by Trump last week. As the administration struggled with its justification for the drone strike that killed Gen. Qassem Soleimani, Esper and members of Trump's national security team are trying to refocus attention on voices of dissent inside Iran. 577
