For far too many families, financial planning is akin to scheduling dental surgery. The prospect of pain and discomfort prompts many to put it off — or not do it at all.
During the pandemic, however, a mortal urgency has forced the issue. Will dependents and heirs be provided for? What about funding a dignified retirement? Fortunately, with many families still sheltering together, the different generations can sit down and address these subjects openly. Key questions can be fielded and discussed.

Deshaun Watson: 'The money is amazing' - HoustonChronicle.com
Five days before the Texans begin regular season at Kansas City, Watson signed a four-year, $156 million contract extension that averages $39 million a year and secures him through the 2025 season.
Watson is the second-highest paid player in NFL history behind Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who signed a $10-year extension worth $450 million. Watson and Mahomes face off Thursday night at Arrowhead Stadium.
Saturday night, Watson thought he was doing a Zoom conference call with the media to talk about his extension, but before he did, he was surprised by friends and family members who came on the call to congratulate and reminisce with him.

The Money Behind Tulsi Gabbard's New Legal Defense Fund
The Hawaii congresswoman has long maintained a support base made up of people from all over the ideological spectrum.
WASHINGTON — What do an American Kremlin sympathizer, a doctor with ties to Hindu nationalists and George Clooney's neighbor have in common?
They're all bankrolling U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard's attempt to pay down her legal debt from an ill-fated lawsuit against Hillary Clinton.
Gabbard, who decided against another term representing Hawaii in Congress in favor of a long shot presidential run, created a legal expense trust fund in May, according to paperwork filed with the House of Representatives. Gabbard dropped out of the presidential race in March, but not before racking up tens of thousands of dollars in legal bills connected to the $50 million lawsuit she filed against Clinton in January, according to Federal Election Commission records.
Money has overshadowed magic at Disney | Letters - Orlando Sentinel
Walt Disney World lost the magic. I grew up in Anaheim and spent my seventh birthday riding the Matterhorn in Disneyland — seven times! Now, I enjoy the Magic Kingdom regularly as a passholder with my own daughters. But we are not going back — because Disney World has lost the magic. And it isn't COVID-19′s fault. It is Disney World's fault ("Theme park passholders feel slighted in pandemic," Aug. 10).
Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob Chapek said, "Typically someone who travels and stays for five days to seven days is marginally more valuable ... than someone who comes in on an annual pass." I can't tell you how betrayed I felt when I read that. Disney World no longer values passholders because we're "worth less" than others, something new policies make very clear.

John Lynch hints at what extra Dee Ford money could be used for, why Ronald Blair remained on PUP
Ahh, cap machinations. There’s nothing quite like waking up in the morning as you wait for roster cuts to come in and see a tweet from ESPN’s Field Yates that the 49ers restructured Dee Ford’s contract, creating $9.5 million in current cap space, and in effect, $6.34 million next year—assuming that money goes untouched and rolls over.
With that new money, speculation necessarily ensues: a late move for Jadeveon Clowney? A trade for a wide receiver? An immediate Trent Williams extension?
