Let’s not sugarcoat this: the past few months have been devastating. Even if you haven’t personally experienced a tragic loss of a loved one or your businesses, the economy right now has still probably impacted your finances .
If you’re one of the lucky ones who came out of this unscathed, you could use the extra money to pay down your debt or place a little into an emergency savings account.
During the early days of the pandemic, savvy business owners adapted and pivoted to meet new customer demands. Examples would be breweries and distilleries selling hand sanitizer or clothing manufacturers producing masks.

Ethereum: Free Money Is Real

Here is the thing. Crypto is giving income-starved people a shot at a great rate of return and you can understand why.

3 Reasons You May Not Get as Much Money From Social Security as Expected | Personal Finance |
Delaying your Social Security filing past FRA will give you a higher monthly benefit. Once you turn 70, though, the delayed retirement credits you get for waiting stop accruing. If you don't sign up to get your money at 70, you risk losing out on income that could've been yours.
To avoid missing out on benefits, mark your calendar to sign up for Social Security on your 70th birthday. If you forget initially, fear not. You can file up to six months after that point and get a lump-sum retroactive payment -- but beyond that point, you'll be out some money.

LOS ANGELES — California’s first-of-its-kind state program to fund stem-cell research is running out of money and supporters want voters to provide a $5.5 billion infusion.
The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine has doled out nearly $3 billion for research since the non-profit was created in a 2004 ballot question supported by 59% of voters.

N.Y. Voting Officials Need Money. They Were Told to Go to Zuckerberg. - The New York Times
ALBANY — After the June primary in New York State unraveled under a mass of problems, elections officials immediately issued a plea: To stand any chance of handling the five million absentee ballots expected on Election Day, far more state funding would be needed.
