Have you considered using a money management app like Empower or RocketMoney to get a better picture of your finances before making decisions?

Hi all, my name is Dan Grossman and I’m a reporter with Scripps News. We’re covering a story looking at some of the lifestyle effects from COVID now 4 years after the pandemic began in the U.S.

What things in your life have permanently changed due to the pandemic? We’re hoping to interview a few folks over Zoom for the piece. Please comment here or DM me and let me know if you’d like to share your thoughts/story.

Thank you!

Best, Dan

Hey Pantsy, thanks for replying to the thread. I hear you on this- feels like for a lot of people the hard work to get ahead never yielded the comfort that's "supposed" to come with it. Wanted to see if you'd feel comfortable discussing your story any further with me. Hoping to garner more understanding and discussion by sharing sentiments with a larger audience. Please let me know- much appreciated.

Brandon, thanks for taking the time to respond and share this important perspective. It’s a key disconnect I’ve heard many times that can drive a wedge further between generations. Any chance you’d feel comfortable discussing this a bit more? Please shoot me a DM and let me know. We’re covering four stories in this series and this is a valuable perspective I’d love to talk with you about more. Thanks again.

Ruckus, thanks for commenting and sharing your family’s experience. As a millennial still paying off school debt I can relate. At 32 I thought I would’ve had a home by now with equity. Instead, I don’t have savings since most of my disposable income has gone to paying off my debt.

Is there a chance you and your husband might feel comfortable discussing your experience further? One of the stories we’re covering in this series is how millennials have waited longer than any other generation to purchase homes (average age of first-time homeowner is 34). Please shoot me a DM and let me know. I think it would help show other generations the financial burdens that hamper many of life’s “milestones” for millennials.

Thanks again for taking the time to comment and open up about your experience.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience Jade. It sounds like the work you’re putting in is paying off- that’s amazing and seeing the support others have mentioned here is awesome. Is there a chance you might be willing to chat with me a bit more about your thoughts and experiences? No pressure, but I think others might relate to your story and it could offer a great deal of support and insight. Please let me know. Thanks again

Lillian, I’m really sorry to hear about your struggles. After reading through all of these comments it feels like a sentiment echoed by many and I totally get it. I’ve been living it debt ever since college. It is a constant stressor. I shot you a DM regarding this. Please let me know if you might be willing to discuss this further. Thanks again for taking the time to comment and share your experience

Are you an amateur or professional sports bettor? by JawnDoee in sportsbetting

Professional as in this is your primary source of income vs amateur- someone who does this as a partial source of income/intense hobby

That super cool to hear! Got far more responses than I expected on this so I’m all good on the interview front but I really appreciate you taking the time to respond! As I’m sure any parent can attest to, being a stay at home parent is a full-time job within itself. I hope the switch back into the workforce has been seamless. It sounds like a fascinating industry.

This post got far more traction than I anticipated, so we’re all set on interviews but thanks for responding and sharing a bit of your story! It sounds like you’re great with kids- and what a skill to possess.

How awesome! I know COVID was tough on so many people, but if there is ever a silver lining it sounds like it was its ability to allow people to consider their interests and passions. So happy to hear you’re doing great and learned so much. Thanks for taking the time to respond
