Your bank probably has a website where you can pay off bills and check your accounts online. Ask your bank if they support an app, then help you high schooler download and learn how to use it. Many banks offer easy ways to pay off monthly bills online, and even if your kid doesn’t have a credit card yet, having easy access to their accounts can encourage them to check up on their budget more often. There are also many third-party apps available to streamline the process of paying bills and setting budgets. Ask your bank if they recommend one, and make sure you check with your bank before entering any of your child’s banking into a non-affiliated app. Learning how to write checks, balance an account, etc. will lower the risk of budget shortfalls in adulthood. Even if your child won’t be using checks, it’s helpful to have a checking account in case they get a job with a direct deposit that can only pay them through this kind of account. Start as early as possible, while your child is still at home and the consequences for mistakes aren't as severe. Set up the account with your child and monitor their spending habits. Not all banks allow underage teens to have checking accounts, but it's worth calling around to find one that does. If you hit this problem, give them control of their savings account. Emphasize that credit cards are borrowed money and that debit cards are automatic withdrawals from their bank account. Show your monthly statements to your child. Highlight the section on your bank account statement that itemizes debit card expenditures. If you keep a balance on your credit card, point out the information explaining how long it will take you to pay the balance off. This will teach them to manage their money and their time. Seek out local businesses that are willing to work with high school schedules. Help your child fill out job applications and make good impressions on prospective employers. While you shouldn't charge them rent just yet, remind them that luxuries are their responsibility. This includes expensive clothing, entertainment, and gas fill-ups. If they don't want to drive the family car, help them figure out how much they'll need to save until they can afford their own wheels. These lessons will prepare them for the responsibilities of adulthood. Most teens know how to keep track of money, but many blow through it before the next payday. If this happens with your child, try not to give them money to tide them over. Instead, allow them to experience the consequences of their actions. Remind them that you won't always be there in the future and to use this as a teachable moment. Don’t let your child rely on you as their sole source of money because this will make them less self-sufficient and resourceful.

summary: Teach them how to use banking apps and websites. Help them open a checking account. Warn them about credit and debit cards. Encourage them to get a part-time job. Let them pay their own way. Avoid giving your kids money frequently.

Persians are brachycephalic, which is a term that means their nose and nasal chambers are fore-shortened when compared to normal cats. It is part of the breed description of pedigree Persians that in profile the nose ‘button’ does not protrude past the level of the eyes. Sadly, this means the cat has sacrificed a system of mucous membrane lined scrolls within the nasal chamber that filter and warm air. This predisposes Persians to sneezes and sniffles, because they lack the normal filter that is the first line of defense against infection. The best way to help your cat fight off respiratory infections is by keeping her nose clean. Making sure your cat's nose is clean is very important because your Persian’s shortened nose can become blocked easily, making it difficult for your cat to breathe. You can use a warm, wet cloth to wipe your cat’s nose and make sure that it is cleaned out. Wipe your cat’s nose at least once a day, and always wipe it if it looks slightly blocked. Persians are prone to respiratory infections because they do not have as much protection against pathogens due to their stubby noses. Cat's normally have an extra defensive layer in their noses that help keep bacteria and other pathogens out, but Persians lack this extra defense. Because of this, it is important to take your cat to the vet to get regular booster vaccinations against respiratory infections.  If you notice your cat having a hard time breathing or sneezing uncontrollably, you should take her to the vet. Persians can have a lot of potential health issues. For this reason, you should think very carefully before breeding a cat with respiratory or other issues that could be passed on.

summary: Understand the term brachycephalic. Keep your cat’s nose clean. Get your cat vaccinated regularly.

Turn the stove on to medium-high heat and allow the water to simmer. It will take between 6 to 8 minutes for the water to come to a simmer. Allowing the water to simmer will cook your sausages all the way through and keep them tender. The sausages will still look gray on the outside, but will have no pink tint on the inside. Any juices from the sausage will be clear. Turn the burner to high heat and allow the oil to gently simmer. They will not need to sit in the oil for long since they are already cooked. Once they have reached your desired golden color, remove them from the heat to avoid drying them out or becoming overdone. The sausages can be placed in the pan whole, cut lengthwise, cut in half, or cut into chunks.
summary: Add the sausages to a large saucepan filling it with enough cold water to cover them. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the core temperature is at least 160 °F (71 °C). Grease the bottom of a separate pan with enough oil to coat it entirely. Place your sausages in the hot oil to sear them.
