MoneyTalk: Managing the Financial Impact of COVID

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. Studies show that prolonged “paycheck to paycheck” living can sap mental bandwidth and stress mental health to the point that people are simply not fully functioning.

What can people do? The only thing that they can do. Create some semblance of a routine and focus on things that they can control. 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.

MoneyTalk: Saving for College

What are the benefits of using a 529 plan to save for college?
• Savings grows tax-free and qualified withdrawals (e.g., tuition) are federal tax-free
