And atop the 25% of households who hadn’t been contributing before the pandemic, 18% now are contributing less. That’s according to a mid-May online survey of 1,326 U.S. adults conducted by YouGov for Bankrate.com. “The runaway culprit is loss of income, cited nearly twice as often as the next most common reason of keeping more cash on hand,” said Greg McBride, Bankrate chief financial

What was spectacular was not only the shambolic way in which Bayer Leverkusen’s defence collapsed by the dreary attacking show put on by them as well.
