NEW YORK -- The government's key COVID-19 relief program for small businesses has run out of money.

The SBA said in a statement it will still fund applications that have been approved. New applications made through Community Financial Institutions, which are financial lenders that serve underserved communities, would also be funded.

That involves taking out a fixed percentage of the portfolio value in your first year, then adjusting upward every year to account for actual inflation.
50 Ways You're Throwing Money Away
While layaway might seem like a sensible way to hold onto something you want to buy, it's not always a smart way to net savings. That's because layaway locks you into a certain price and — if ultimately financed by a credit card — additional interest charges.
Having a high-interest savings account can help you grow your money and build an emergency fund more quickly than with a traditional bank account — so if you don't have one, you're leaving free money on the table.
What motherhood taught me about money: 8 moms weigh in - StarTribune.com
It's true — everything changes when you become a parent, including your finances. Besides facing a slew of new expenses, you're charged with the financial well-being and future of another person. And that person, whom you adore, is probably learning about money from you.

Trouble Managing Money May Be an Early Sign of Dementia | Kaiser Health News
Making such a big purchase with no forethought and then forgetting about it was completely out of character for Turner, then a critical care nurse in Greenville, South Carolina. Although she was able to back out of the deal without financial consequences, the experience scared her.
Turner's money troubles aren't unusual among people who are beginning to experience cognitive declines. Long before they receive a dementia diagnosis, many people start losing their ability to manage their finances and make sound decisions as their memory, organizational skills and self-control falter, studies show. As people fall behind on their bills or make unwise purchases and investments, their bank balances and credit rating may take a hit.
Cramer's Mad Money Recap: Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Google - TheStreet
When our booming economy begins to cool, the tech stocks will come roaring back, Jim Cramer told his Mad Money viewers Wednesday. That's why it's always prudent to keep a diversified portfolio and never give up on FAANG.
