COVID-19 reached American soil months ago and, for many people, mental and/or physical fatigue are palpable. Sheltering in place has gotten very “old” and weeks with a reduced (or no) income have thrown the finances of millions of households into a tailspin.

In this podcast episode, Dr. O’Neill and I discuss ways that personal financial managers and other helping professionals can help military families navigate change, loss, and uncertainty in this turbulent time.
In this webinar, we provide resources to service providers so they can help parents and caregivers work with teachers to address questions as they prepare for back to school for their loved one with special needs.

How Can People Start Saving Money?
• Mentally tell yourself that you are going to do it and set savings goals with a price and time deadline
• Having a specific goal is a lot more motivating than saving for savings sake
