We all want a home that’s safe and comfortable for our families. When choosing a place to call home, it’s important to consider the pollution levels of cities you’re considering. In fact, did you know that there are several places in the world that are so toxic due to pollution levels that it is recommended that no people live there – even though they do. Here are seven places that you shouldn’t consider living.

1. Citarum River, West Java, Indonesia – This river is the most polluted in the world, yet many people live near the river and rely on its water for drinking and cooking. It is full of trash, chemicals and human waste. Disease in this area is rampant. The pollution is due to the 9 million people who rely on this river and many factories located near it.

2. Chernobyl, Ukraine - Chernobyl is the town in northern Ukraine home to the Chernobyl disaster of 1986, the worst nuclear power plant accident in history. It was once the home of over 14,000 people, but today the town is uninhabited due to the unsafe radioactive contamination that still exists.

We love taking trips, whether it’s a short road trip, or a longer trip by air to some distant exotic place. But all too often we fail to plan for our trip and the result is frustration and annoyance.

1. For road trips, get the right maps and plan your route thoroughly. Everything won’t go exactly to plan, but at least you’ll have much fewer nasty surprises.

2. Never, ever make a joke about bombs or terrorists near security at an airport. Many people have jokingly mentioned they have a small bomb in their case as their luggage is being inspected. Later at the police station they deeply regretted their stupidity.

Let me guess… you have been with the same insurance company since you were a teenager. You went with them because the agent was friends with your parents and you just kind of “grew up with them”. You never really see your agent and now that you have moved to a different state, you are wondering if he has forgotten about you since you didn’t get a card for your birthday.

Sound familiar?

If it does, there is a simple message that you need to hear loud and clear: IT IS TIME TO SHOP FOR INSURANCE. IT WILL SAVE YOU MONEY. Getting cheap insurance quotes is easy and only takes a few minutes before you will realize that you are probably paying too much for your insurance right now. Quotes are free and you really can get as many as you want — but after only a couple you might be blown away at how much money your parent’s insurance agent is costing you.

And if your current car insurance company is the lowest? Time to thank your parents for all of the nice things they did for you. But don’t worry — only 1 in about 50 people find out that they actually can’t save any money on their car insurance… so there is only a 2% chance that your parents love you enough to find you the cheapest insurance.
