Looking to do something to help the fight against breast cancer but don't really have the extra cash?

Well, with a simple, daily click of the pink button at The Breast Cancer Site, visitors help provide mammograms to those in need. Visitors pay nothing. Mammograms are paid for by the site's sponsors and distributed by the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. It's easy and something you can do daily during the month of October (and beyond). I have set my homepage to The Breast Cancer Site and every morning, the first thing I do is click the button.

We're thrilled to present this smart LearnVest story here on Savvy!

Money is only as good as what it can get you: security, independence, freedom. The point of LearnVest isn’t to talk about your money to the exclusion of all else-it’s about using money as a tool to live the life you want.

Yesterday began National Women’s Health Week, and there’s no better investment than in your health. After all, the best investment portfolio ever won’t be fulfilling if you’re not healthy enough to reap its benefits.

(Of course, we do still want you to have a kick-ass investment portfolio. Click here for how to pull it off.)

So, in honor of National Women’s Health Week, we bring you the top 7 things you can do for your health that will save you in the long run:

1. Have The Right Kind Of Health Insurance

First, any kind of health insurance is better than no kind. Going without insurance means you’re totally responsible for all costs if disaster strikes. If, heaven forbid, you got into an accident or needed surgery, you could easily face thousands upon thousands of dollars in debt. Once you’re covered, evaluate your options: If, for example, you’re relatively young and healthy, you may choose a plan with lower regular payments but a high deductible. If you need regular doctor visits and prescriptions, you’ll want a policy that covers all of your needs. For a rundown of the various types of insurance and what’s right for you, click here.

2. Go In For Regular Checkups

Don’t miss crucial checkups each year, since the cost of preventative medicine is way less than the price tag to actually treat your woes (not to mention that it will save you lots of grief). For a rundown of which doctors you should see and how often, check this out. If you’re over age 40, remember to get regular mammograms-they save lives.
