Earning More Money on Unemployment Than What You Previously Made?
As of May 2020, more than 20 million Americans were unemployed, and we can thank COVID-19 for that. Thankfully, those without an income from work are generally entitled to unemployment benefits provided they weren't fired for cause, and right now, those benefits are exceptionally lucrative.
Thanks to the CARES Act, which was passed in late March to provide COVID-19 relief, workers on unemployment are entitled to a $600 weekly boost on top of the benefit they'd normally qualify for. This means that someone who'd normally get $400 a week based on previous earnings should now be collecting $1,000 a week instead.
My biggest money mistake changed me forever - MarketWatch
"Money makes the world go round"—and that means we're constantly making financial decisions. Almost inevitably, some go awry. Like everyone else, I've made a lot of financial mistakes over the years. Here are some I wish I could take back.
When I was age 23, I graduated from college with a history degree. It wouldn't take long for me to realize it was a mistake. Early in my career, I was passed over three times for a promotion because I didn't have a business degree. Tired of hearing the same response, I went back to school part-time and earned an MBA. Result: I lost the chance not only to draw a larger paycheck, but also to save more in my 401(k) and elsewhere during those early years .

You Now Get Almost Nothing for Your Money, but It Could Be Worse - The New York Times
Having enough cash on hand to pay the bills is always a good idea. But in an economic crisis like this one, with millions unemployed and thousands of businesses in trouble, it's more desirable than ever.
Plenty of people don't have a stash of cash. But for those fortunate enough to have salted away some extra money, a pressing question is: Where should you keep it?

But don't expect much in return. Now that the Federal Reserve has committed to keeping short-term interest rates near zero until at least 2022, you are likely to earn almost nothing on that money. And that's if everything goes according to plan.
Money distributed this week for kids in Ohio on reduced lunches
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WJW) – Ohio families with children who receive free or reduced breakfasts and lunches should start receiving money this week.
