For some people, there has been an upside to the pandemic and
they have actually managed to save money, from not commuting to
work, staying home more, etc. What if you have the luxury of
having accumulated, say $5,000? I want to hear from certified
financial planners and other financial experts, especially from
the Long Island and NYC metro area. What is the best use of that
$5,000, what should you do with it and why? And on the flip

with their investments or even consider relocating to somewhere
with a lower cost-of-living? What's your best advice to help
people feel less stressed about finances? Please provide your

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 17 November
Query:
Looking to speak to student loan experts about the Secure Act 2
and what it would mean for student borrowers. Specifically
hoping to cover this section of the act:
Section 110, Treatment of student loan payments as elective
deferrals for purposes of matching contributions.
Under the bill, an employer would be permitted to make matching
contributions under a 401(k) plan, 403(b) plan, or SIMPLE IRA
with respect to "qualified student loan payments," the
definition of which is broadly defined as any indebtedness
incurred by the employee solely to pay qualified higher
education expenses of the employee. Governmental employers would
also be permitted to make matching contributions in a section
457(b) plan or another plan with respect to such repayments. The
idea is that employees who are overwhelmed with student debt may
not realistically be able to save for retirement, and thus are
missing out on available matching contributions. This
legislation would allow them to receive those matching
contributions by reason of repaying their loan.
Requirements:
Student loan experts and financial advisors
