10 tips from experts to help you change your relationship with money in 2025

After being crowned Miss Idaho in June of this year, Madi Andreason has been busy making waves in the community and honing her talents as she prepares for the Miss America pageant. Andreason is an Idaho Falls native who moved to Pocatello four years ago to attend Idaho State University to seek bachelor's degrees in political science and paralegal studies. She left Pocatello on Friday for Orlando, Florida, where she'll represent Idaho in the 104th Miss America Pageant from Saturday, Dec. 28, to Sunday, Jan. 5. “Idaho has never won Miss America before,” Andreason said. “I really want to change that and show that Idaho has what it takes to be a good representative. Idaho deserves that representation. The things I've been working on are really making sure to get out in my community and promote my community service initiative. It's called Get Up and Get Out. It's a fitness-based initiative that harnesses exercise to strengthen your mental and physical well-being.” Andreason continued, “I've been making sure to go around Idaho and promote that (initiative) to show that Idaho is a state of servers. Idaho is a state of loving people and Idaho is a state of connected people. I’m just making sure that I bring that support system with me to Miss America.” Andreason said the Miss America Pageant has several competitive phases for the contestants including private interview, fitness, talent, evening gown and on-stage question. “It's just about being at the top of my game,” Andreason said. “I'm prepared for all the phases of competition and I'm really excited about my talent. I think it's very unique. I sing for my talent and I chose a very unique song that I think is really relevant to a lot of girls. It's from the 'Barbie' movie and so everyone will have to tune in to hear what it is. But I wanted to pick something that was super modern and relevant to a lot of the little girls that I hope to inspire.” Andreason said that one of her proudest moments after being crowned Miss Idaho was hosting her own 5K race last month. “Being able to accomplish that and knowing that I can achieve what I set my heart out to do, that was super exciting,” Andreason said. “I was able to raise money for the American Heart Association. That was probably one of my greatest accomplishments. I also went to Arkansas with a lot of the other title holders for the current Miss America. She organizes a 5K and a 10K and so I ran my first 10K in Arkansas with Miss Nevada to support the current Miss America.” Andreason continued, “That was a super exciting appearance that I got to go to and one of the most gratifying. I would say the challenges have been making sure to find that balance that I'm serving myself and putting time into myself. You can't be a good representative if you're not fueling yourself and putting yourself first. I always say you can’t perform from an empty well, so just give to yourself as well as give to others.” Despite being crowned Miss Idaho and having the rare opportunity to compete in the Miss America Pageant, there is a surreal feeling for Andreason to be in the spotlight where she admired the influential women who came before her. “It still hasn’t hit me that I'm going to Miss America and I don't think it's going to hit me until I step on the stage,” Andreason said. “I grew up watching Miss America as so many little girls do and I never thought that I would see myself in that audition. I always work on myself and I’m now realizing that I'm on the other side of it. I am the role model now. It's a really gratifying experience and my heart is so full knowing that it's come full circle. I did the teen pageants and it took me about six times to win. I struggled with feeling (if) I had what it took, but I made sure to put in the hard work. I think that hard work works and I just want to go out there and leave no doubt that Idaho is deserving of this.” Viewers can tune into the Miss America Pageant finale at 5 p.m. on the CW Network on Jan. 5.Polish prime minister's party picks Warsaw mayor as its candidate for president

Dennis Ortlieb, a Brentwood schoolteacher, has seen firsthand when families struggle and basic needs, like food and housing, aren’t met. It’s why he brought his children to the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless Stuff the Pantry donation drive Saturday morning in Amityville, where nonperishable food, toiletries and clothing were being dropped off in the nonprofit’s warehouse to later be distributed to those in need. “I just want my kids to understand what they have and they appreciate the things that they have,” said Ortlieb, 48, of Deer Park. He was part of a team of volunteers at the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless distribution center, known as the “boutique,” at 600 Albany Ave. There, the organization regularly collects donations and allows Long Islanders to shop for or request items. Organizers said Saturday’s event, which drew around 70 people over three hours, was the first Thanksgiving-themed drive for the nonprofit and will be run annually. It included coloring activities for children, a turkey mascot and refreshments. The biggest news, politics and crime stories in Suffolk County, in your inbox every Friday at noon.

The annual Long Island Coalition for the Homeless audit of homeless people in Nassau and Suffolk counties counted 3,928 people in January 2024, up from 3,536 people in January 2023 and 3,034 people in January 2022. The figures are only a snapshot of the wider trend of increasing rates of homelessness and need for shelter on Long Island and throughout the rest of the country. National data showed homelessness increased 12% between 2023 and 2024, largely due to people who became homeless for the first time. Experts and advocates said the expiration of a COVID-era eviction moratorium, a lack of affordable housing and defunct pandemic rental assistance programs are contributing to the rise, Newsday reported . On Long Island, Guarton said, events like Saturday’s are focused on simplifying some of the difficult decisions people face. “A lot of times the difference between becoming homeless, or becoming at-risk or losing housing could be, ‘Do I pay my rent this month or do I put food on the table?’ ” Guarton said. “We help to bridge that gap.” Joe Biasi, a volunteer who helps run the pantry, said donations tend to pour in during the holidays but that some essentials — like deodorant, paper towels and diapers above size 3 — are often least in stock throughout the year. Bailey Riekkinen, the community engagement specialist for the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless, said people experiencing homelessness have often endured significant trauma and that domestic violence victims are especially vulnerable, particularly women. However, other life events like a death in the family or a hospitalization can set a family or an individual back financially. “And from there, it’s very difficult to get out of homelessness,” Riekkinen said. With toilet paper and paper towels in hand, Michelle Tuchinsky, of Melville, said she donated Saturday to do her part in helping the community. A member of Temple Beth Tora’s Social Action Committee in Melville, she said it’s important “to keep the momentum going” after the holidays, when the need for support remains high.Looking ahead, New China Insurance's strategic priorities include expanding its market reach, diversifying its product offerings, and enhancing its competitive positioning.
