Are you owed money you don't even know about? You might be, if your name is in an unclaimed property database. Each year, billions of dollars from forgotten security deposits, refunds, uncashed paychecks and even old bank accounts are reported to state agencies. And each year, according to the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators, an organization affiliated with state treasury departments, states return more than $3 billion to their rightful owners.
Just ask Maria Barlow, an attorney in Chicago. A few months ago, she was sitting at home when she decided to plug her name into the Illinois unclaimed property website. "I was surprised to see there was an entry," she says. Fast forward a few weeks, and she had a check in hand for $47.80.

Local performance venues set to receive money from Save Our Stages Act as part of latest COVID
This round of relief includes the Save Our Stages Act, which sets aside $15 billion to help those types of venues across the country. The bill was co-authored by Texas Sen. John Cornyn.
"Our revenue is way down, significantly less than 2019," President of Downtown Bryan's Grand Stafford Theater Jose Quintana said. "We're probably about 80% under our expected revenue for the year."
The Grand Stafford Theater is the oldest venue in Downtown Bryan and has been open for only one week since the pandemic began. The driving force behind the legislation is to save local venues that help preserve any given community's unique cultural flare.
2-year degrees that go on to earn the least money | Personal-finance | omaha.com
Two-year degrees do not always lead to jobs that pay well, even if they are professionally satisfying. Stacker found some of the lowest paying options, using data from Payscale .
Associate degrees generally require half the academic credits of a bachelor's degree. With 20 college courses earning students 60 credits, an associate degree takes two years—half the time of a bachelor's degree. And when taken as a whole, people with two-year degrees fare better than people without them. In 2019, those with associate degrees had a median weekly earnings of $887, while those with high school diplomas earned less, $746 per week, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics .

'They get free money': People will receive a $600 stimulus check and $300 extra
They received all the benefits since March, including $600 a week extra. They're not going to look for a job because they have free money without doing anything. There were a lot of job openings, and businesses could not fill them.
Now these people are going to have 50 weeks of free money and another $300 a week in unemployment. There is no accountability to prove that they are trying to get a job in New York. I've heard of one case where the young adult purchased a new used car with cash. Another one is approaching the $13,000 mark in savings from unemployment.
As 2020 winds down, renter programs get more money as Colorado’s state eviction moratorium
Struggling renters get one more month to figure out how to pay their rent, thanks to an extension of the national eviction moratorium in the new federal COVID-19 relief bill.
There's also a new pot of federal money headed to Colorado just for rental assistance in the $908 billion Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, which became law Sunday night as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021.
But surviving as a renter or homeowner today is a lot different from last spring, when the first pandemic-induced eviction moratoriums went into effect.

Children benefit from learning how money works. When do you start to teach your kids about money?
* * *
Once they learn where money comes from, you believe in teaching your kids three principles:
Kids are like sponges. The goal here is to discuss money issues as a family without stigma or any negativity.
More and more financial institutions are now issuing debit cards for teenagers on their parent's account. Could this lead to overspending and running up debt?
