Will our stimulus checks come, and how should we spend them? What is going on with unemployment benefits? Will there be rent freezes?Sallie explains how with new legislation coming out of DC, the unemployment rate skyrocketing and the market plummeting that a lot is changing when it comes to money, but she has some good actions you can take that will help put your mind at ease. Timing the market is never the way to go, but time in the market are words to live by! She explains the student loan changes, which can really help a lot of millennials when it comes to conserving our money pool for other things, such as rent, food, etc. The most important thing to do is to make a financial plan when it comes to paying down your student loan and your payments in general. So start by paying down your most high-interest rate debt first, then invest in a 401K, build an emergency fund with 3-6 months of take-home pay, and then invest in the stock market.
