Governor Phil Murphy has announced a third round of medical debt elimination, benefiting over 20,000 residents with a total of $26 million in debt relief.

BUCKEYE, AZ (AZFamily) — For the Alvarenga family, meals are carefully planned. They have to be, so groceries for five kids can fit into the budget.
“It was literally paycheck-to-paycheck for a long time,” Briana Alvarenga said.

“Every time we’d progress, something came up and just became our downfall,” Kevin added.
Their story is familiar. Across the country, credit card debt is a staggering $1.17 trillion, and the average credit card interest rate is more than 21%.

Sports betting is now legal in a majority of states (it’s currently legal in 39 states and the District of Columbia, in one form or another, as of this writing), and the number of Americans participating is growing rapidly year over year in this multi-billion dollar business. According to a new NerdWallet survey, 1 in 5 Americans (20%) say they’ve bet on sports (not including dog or horse races) in the past 12 months.
