Family gifts.

I’m Miriam  Neff-with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, and we’re here to talk about money

M  4 in 10 families have lost jobs, work hours, or work-related income because of the coronavirus outbreak. low-wage workers’ incomes were now less than half of what they had been.  Likely someone in your family network has been impacted.

V  It’s a time to consider gifts that aren’t so glamorous or wrap worthy.  Family medical, dental, or vision needs don’t stop for a pandemic.  You can help with these.  Walmart gift cards for groceries.  A unique home repair or appliance.  These are just a few ideas.  Listen to what family members are saying.  What are their struggles?

M We know that anxiety is on the rise.  Financial struggles bring fear.  Gift giving this year may meet a material need, and an emotional one as well.
