Mastering areas in our lives helps keep us balanced. Think of your tires. If one of them is off balance, your whole car will shake, shimmy, and feel like it’s falling apart. The lack of balance in your vehicle can make it feel as if the car is going to fall apart. It’s a scary experience for those who have experienced an issue with tire balance.

Urban sprawl isn’t just bad to look at—it may also trap low-income families in poverty and widen racial inequalities. Research from the University of Utah shows that people raised in sprawling suburbs have fewer opportunities to climb the economic ladder compared to those from denser neighborhoods.

The research, which tracked 520 people (split evenly between men and women) over 25 years, found that gaps in housework that exist early in relationships rarely close. The study reveals that women do more domestic work than men from as early as age 25, and this imbalance stays the same into middle age.

About 44,630 people unintentionally lost their lives due to falls in 2024, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Though common causes of visits to the emergency room, slip and fall accidents are fatal among older adults.
