Headlines so far this week: 
  • Tennessee COVID hospitalizations are at an all time high,
  • nearly two-thirds of Americans are now living paycheck-to-paycheck,
  • families are reporting child-care costs have tripled,
  • and mental health ratings sink to new low! 

On Monday, the Tennessee Department of Health announced over 8,100 new cases of COVID-19 in a single day.  Monday's 66 new deaths pushed the state death total over 5,000.  (story here)
Meanwhile, a new study has found that due to the pandemic, over 60% of Americans say they're now living paycheck-to-paycheck.  63% say they've cut their spending as much as they can, and 49% say their economic problems are due to losing income at work.  For those who HAVE been saving for a rainy day, 47% have already burned through their emergency savings, and 82% say they could not afford an unexpected $500 expense.

And to shake family budgets even further, COVID-19 day-care and school restrictions have hit child-care expenses like never before. Families with multiple children report that some expenses have TRIPLED during the pandemic. ​(story here)

To top it all, a new Gallup poll finds that Americans' mental health ratings are now at an all time low, with only 34% saying their mental health is 'excellent'...with women's self-evaluation falling double-digits since last year.   ​(story here)

Combining all of these factors, with the upcoming Christmas holidays, a fragile business climate, and the uncertainty of what 2021 holds, has created a virtual whirlwind of emotional and economic turmoil.  During all of this, most families are struggling.
 
Smart families are planning their next steps, including debt resolution or bankruptcy choices.
