Money Crashers: 2 new articles

Money Crashers has popped up two more of my articles. One is in honor of Earth Day and deals with sustainable fashion choices. You may be thinking, "Wait a minute, haven't you already done an article on this topic?" and the answer is, yes, I wrote this one back in 2016. Money Crashers even had me update it last month and split it into two articles, one on general shopping tips and one on sustainable clothing brands. The piece on sustainable brands was supposed to be prioritized to get it published by Earth Day, but as usual, Money Crashers had a little bit of trouble with its timing. However, it did manage to squeeze in this other piece, which is an update of another writer's article on ethical clothing choices. The main difference between this and my older piece is that it covers clothing that's worker-friendly as well as planet-friendly, but as you might expect, there's considerable overlap between the two. (The site even chose some of the same stock photos to illustrate both pieces.) But there's some material in this one that wasn't covered in the first, so if you enjoyed one, you might like the other.

The other is about deals and discounts for senior citizens — defining the term loosely to include everyone who's old enough to be a member of AARP or AMAC (the Association of Mature American Citizens), both of which accept everyone over 50. There's nothing complex about this one, just a long list of deals available to seniors, grouped together into categories. It covers bank accounts, classes, travel, entertainment, insurance, and more. For anyone who's over 50 (or who's about to be and is looking for a silver lining), it's worth a look.
