Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 17 October
Query:
The Federal Reserve reports that senior consumer debt has risen
by 543% over the past 20 years. That number is expected to rise
as pandemic-fueled lockdowns lead to high unemployment and lower
income for Americans 50-and-over.
In this article for FB, we're looking to give U.S. seniors some
help curbing their current household debt and setting the stage
for better debt practices in retirement.
We need these questions answered:
1. Why are seniors so susceptible to consumer debt? Why are
credit cards such a particular concern?
2. What can seniors do to start the process of digging out of
massive credit card debt? What are the best action steps to take
and why?
3. Once a credit card debt reduction program is underway, what
can seniors and their family advocates do to shift financial
habits to avoid future debt? Any specific ideas? (Don't co-sign
loans or avoid high-interest rate credit, for example.)
4. What if a family member is having a hard time "getting
through" to a parent or grandparent on their credit card
practices? What's the best way to have an honest conversation
that leads to positive financial practices?
Thanks in advance.
Requirements:
credit card experts, senior consumer financial experts, consumer
advocates, debt management experts, money managers, seniors who
have overcome credit card debt.

Pitch:
Should You Wait to Have a Baby? How the Pandemic Might Impact You
You want to add to your family, but is now the right time? With
the economy recovering but the impacts of the pandemic still
being felt, its understandable to be concerned. This article
will talk through some of the financial and emotional impacts of
having a baby during a pandemic. It will interview a financial
blogger and a person who recently gave birth.
Possible Subtopics
Job Security: Having a new baby is expensive and requires good
health insurance. With many people being laid off or fired
because of the impacts of the pandemic, it's important that
you're secure in your job before you embark on this journey.
This section will talk through how to prepare for job insecurity
like putting money aside for COBRA just in case.
Difficulty Accessing Support: One of the best things about
having a baby, is that everyone wants to come help out. Having
an army of babysitters means that you can get some rest. New
parents also might want to take advantage of night nurses or
cleaning services to make those early months easier. But with
social distancing, this can get much more complicated and could
potentially be impossible. Could you parent a newborn without
additional help?
Health Care Access and Safety: Health care access is much more
complicated during a pandemic. From going to appointments alone
to having to follow safety protocols and give birth with a mask,
there are all sorts of ways that the pandemic would make it
harder to have a baby. This section would explore some of the
things to consider.

Query:
Amid the coronavirus pandemic and resulting economic downturn,
scammers are taking advantage of people's heightened economic
anxiety. Their latest ploy is posing as representatives from
utility companies to dupe people out of their cash and personal
information by convincing them their utilities will be shut off
if they don't pay. Utilities in fact, are a common subject of
impostor scams. They are by far the most common type of fraud
reported to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Looking for EXPERTS who can weigh in on this topic - how to you
spot and avoid utility bill scams? -What are the telltale signs
of such a scam? -And what should a consumer do in response, when
they suspect they are being targeted by a scammer? Or suspected
they have already fallen victim to one?
