How are you managing a changing financial picture during the coronavirus pandemic? Share your questions or thoughts with "Vermont Edition."

The coronavirus has touched every aspect of our lives, including — and for some, especially — our finances.

We're talking about navigating personal finances and a changing financial picture amidst the pandemic.

Our guests are:

  • Liz Scharf, an AFCPE-accredited financial counselor and director of Community Economic Development at Capstone Community Action.
  • Priscilla Gilbert, president of CenterPoint Financial, an independent investment advisor and financial planner in Montpelier.
