Don’t be fooled by the title, this weeks theme is not as serious as you may think, but it does cover some important topics about your life. First we take a look at your health. Are you a pet owner? Well, you’re furry little friend might provide you with more than unconditional love. There are many benefits to owning a pet, one even being a longer life.

Besides your health, your finances are probably a top priority as well. First in this category we will look at car insurance and car rentals. If you have ever wondered why you need to be 25 to rent a car or why your car insurance decreases when you turn 25 the infographic below will help you understand and also provide you with tips on how to pay less in car insurance.

Also on the finance front is couponing. Since the recession, everyone is looking for ways to save their hard earned money. Even though coupons have been around for many years, just  recently they have become a popular way to save money. Before, it used to be that the people using a ton of coupons at the checkout counter were annoying, now they are being featured on television shows (but still annoying), and with good reason. Some of these couponers are getting hundreds of  dollars worth of merchandise for under $10. This of course is the extreme side of couponing, but either way you slice it, couponing is a good way to save some money.

Lastly we take a look at politics. I know it’s not the most exciting of topics, but it is very important. With the 2012 presidential election right around the corner candidates are being analyzed by many voters. This infographic highlights the results of polls on some hot topics in politics.
