April 2020
Greetings!
   
I bet you’re tired of the 3,000 emails you are getting from companies you’ve never met in person, talking about what they are doing in response to COVID-19. I wanted to do an entire newsletter without mentioning it, but it is causing financial stress for most of us. In this newsletter, we’ve pulled together resources for different financial stress topics.
 
Our featured podcast this month discusses what you should do with finances during an emergency. On our blog, we’ve got several posts regarding the CARES Act, including student loan options, SBA loan details, and Chapter 13 plans.
 
In the news, there is such an overwhelming amount of information that we tried to grab a couple of hot topics. The IRS is planning an online tool to help with the economic stimulus checks and mortgage companies are working on plans for dealing with mortgages with a loss of income.
 
Finally, our featured video this month is an interview I did talking about the elephant in the room, financial stress, and getting through it.
 
Thank you for reading and please feel free to forward our newsletter to any friends, colleagues, or family members who may be interested in learning more about debt, credit, and solutions to financial stress.
