From Florida Resort, Trump Holds Economic Fate Of 14 Million American Workers In His Hand

President Donald Trump faces a ticking clock with respect to the current proposed COVID-19 relief package. Trump has suggested he may reject the $900 billion package that Congress approved earlier this week unless lawmakers include $2,000 stimulus payments. Business Insider reports Trump could cost jobless workers a week of $300 federal unemployment benefits if he fails to sign the bill by midnight Saturday. Business Insider reports nearly 14 million Americans may lose all their unemployment aid this weekend if the bill doesn't pass.

Freelancers Are In A Tight Spot, But There Are Still Ways To Keep Cash Coming In

As the pandemic drives the US economy inexorably into the ditch, many freelancers, gig workers, and self-employed Americans find work is dwindling. But according to Business Insider, there are ways to bring more money through the door--or at least, ways to keep less of it flowing out. Financial planner Ben Henry-Moreland says to start by looking at your own wallet. Where can you cut your spending? Negotiate with creditors, and chase late payers. Make adjustments to your health insurance to reduce your premiums, adjust your estimated quarterly tax payments downwards. Keep up with government programs and what's available. As one program ends, another may begin. You may be overlooking state or county programs, too. Finally, reach out to your network of friends and colleagues for job leads, client referrals, and advice on how to pivot your business to this new pandemic world.
