Coronavirus in Oklahoma: COVID-19 suffocates workers' ability to save for retirement

Not surprisingly, the coronavirus is suffocating many Americans’ ability to save for retirement, as millions are tapping their nest eggs to offset lost income and also contributing less to their 401(k)s or IRAs. More than 27% of those working or recently unemployed already have taken withdrawals from their retirement accounts. 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

FRB Vs LEV Dream11 Team Probable Playing 11 And Match Report: Bayer Leverkusen finally see their astounding spree be curtailed in the league Since the Bundesliga had made an advent into the footballing, one side which had managed to stand all amongst its counterparts was Bayer Leverkusen. Pulling off two scintillating wins to breach the top 4, the side was quick to show everyone why they have been held in such high stature this season.However, the team finally saw its piquant touch come to an end with the side thumped and dismissed from sights by Wolfsburg. In what was an unprecedented result, Bayer Leverkusen slipped t a sordid 4- defeat, a result which left not only the side’s supporters but the league’s ardent followers in awe as well. 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. Luckily for them though, it’s a plight which doesn’t look likely to extend with the outfit coming across lowly placed Freiburg…
