Query:
With the many job losses this past year due to the pandemic,
many of us have been thrown into unforeseen financial
circumstances. Luckily, some have their partners to rely on for
the time being, but when weeks of unemployment turn into months,
how do you avoid the buildup of stress, pressure, and resentment
in a romantic relationship when one of you has to pay all of the
bills (rent, utilities, groceries)?
Requirements:
I'm gathering information for a pitch for a national health and
wellness publication, and would like to hear from two types of
sources:
1) Mental health experts specializing in romantic relationships:
What are some of the necessary steps to take in order to avoid
that tension?
2) Couples currently experiencing this: If you're the one paying
all the bills right now, how are you and your partner talking
about finances in a healthy way to avoid resentment?
If you're the one who's out of work right now, what are some of
the other things you're doing to help your partner with this
financial situation?

Query:
Hello, My name is Shawn. I am a writer for CNBC's Grow/Invest
In You vertical and I'm working on a story about the top 4 U.S.
states where $500,000 in retirement would last the longest
(Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico), based on this GBR
study:
https://www.gobankingrates.com/retirement/planning/how-long-will-500k-last-in-retirement-state/.
Our audience is young adults who are actively thinking about
their budgets and financial futures whether they have a little
or a lot saved. My editor, Kelli Grant, sent me your contact
info and said you'd be a great source to talk to. For the story,
we want to cover the following points: * If you live in a
state where $500,000 doesn't last long at all, is it worth
moving to a different state? * If someone reads this study and
says, "OK, I'm nowhere near rich enough to retire," what
immediate steps can they take to start saving? * Should
Americans be prioritizing their saving differently amid the
pandemic? Maybe focusing on their emergency accounts first
before saving for retirement? * Anything you'd like to add to
the topic? * What's your title/affiliation? Here's an
additional point of reference:
https://grow.acorns.com/how-long-1-million-lasts-in-americas-3-most-populous-states/
If interested in being quoted in the piece, could you send some
responses to the above sometime before tomorrow morning, around
8 or 9 a.m. EST?
Thanks a ton and I hope all is well! Looking forward,

Query:
Hello! I'm looking for an accountant or tax professional to
answer a few questions about the mortgage interest tax
deduction. If you are interested, please respond to the
questions along with your name, title, and link to your online
bio. I will include a link to your bio and will credit your
contribution.
1. Who is eligible for the deduction? Any borrower and any
property? Are there any exceptions or unique criteria that
homeowners should know about?
3. When it comes to itemizing instead of just doing a standard
deduction, what are some of the key things homeowners should
know?
4. Given that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act raised the standard
deduction, could this make it unnecessary to itemize? In your
opinion, is itemizing worth it, particularly when it comes to
mortgage interest and other home-related deductions like
property taxes?
5. If a homeowner closed on their house after December 14, 2017,
they can only deduct interest paid on up to $750,000 worth of
loan principal, correct? How did this change come about, getting
lowered from $1M to $750K?
6. Do second homes qualify for the deduction? What rules apply
here?
7. Can homeowners also deduct interest on a second mortgage,
line of credit, or home equity loan? Any info on how the debt
caps changed after 2018?
8. Can homeowners deduct interest paid on both "grandfathered"
and "acquisition" mortgage debt?
9. If a homeowner refinances, can they deduct mortgage points
over the life of the loan?
Thank you!

I'm looking to connect with a women who lost her job during the
pandemic and is currently in training for a career pivot.
I'm working on a story for Innovation, HP's corporate magazine,
about how record numbers of women are being forced out of the
workforce right now due to the pandemic. The story will explore
how new tools can be harnessed to retain women, and re-engage
those who have been out of the workforce for years.
I'm looking to speak with a woman working in the private sector
(industries like technology and business would be ideal for the
focus of this particular story) who lost her job during the
pandemic and is currently in training for a career pivot.
I would also be interested in talking to a woman who has been
out of the workforce for a long time, but is looking for work
again and can speak to particular "upskilling" tools or
platforms that have made the transition and retraining process
easier.
I'm looking for an anecdotal example of this experience, rather
than an expert/academic perspective. Thank you!

Hi--I'm looking into a story about why big box retailers have
not historically advertised in the Super Bowl.
We see so many CPG brands in the Super Bowl to help consumers
with brand recognition when they are in stores and staring at
shelves. But why haven't big box retailers ever made a push at a
moment like this to boost their own brand recognition? Are
retailers missing out on an opportunity? Why or why not? Or is
simply that most big box retailers don't have $11 million to
blow on air time?

Marketing/advertising and retail/ecommerce experts, please!

Query:
We are looking for quotes from financial advisors familiar with
the Secure Act and forthcoming changes late this year likely to
result in many 401k plans adding a lifetime income option (e.g.
deferred income annuity).
Some of the questions we'd like to answer in this article (whose
audience will be the general public / employees in 401k plans)
include: What are the potential benefits of allocating assets in
my 401k plan to a lifetime income annuity? What are the
potential pitfalls of allocating assets in my 401k plan to a
lifetime income annuity? Should I consider allocating assets in
my 401k plan into a lifetime income annuity? Why would I choose
a lifetime income annuity offered by my employer if I don't plan
to work there my entire life? What happens if I change my mind
after investing in a lifetime income annuity and want the money
I invested back?
Please answer the question(s) you know best in layman's terms
and I'll pick the quotes. Thank you!
Requirements:
You are a financial advisor in the United States. You work with
401k plans and are familiar with the Secure Act.
