EXPERT ALERTS:

Credit and Divorce
Rod Griffin
Director of Public Education
Experian
While many are planning romantic Valentine's Day dates, many other Americans are single and newly divorced this year. Griffin is available to discuss how couples should have open and honest conversations before and during the marriage to help lead them to a happily financially ever after: "It's important for couples to discuss finances before saying 'I do,' and to communicate frequently. Couples should also make sure they agree when it comes to financial practices, such as budgeting and how to utilize credit throughout the marriage. Individually, each partner should make sure to be engaged with the household finances so they can protect themselves and their assets if the relationship ends."
Griffin can also discuss the results of an Experian study of recently divorced consumers on how finances played a role in their marriage -- and their divorce -- as well as the financial repercussions of divorce. Some top findings: 59% of divorcees surveyed say that finances played at least "somewhat" of a role in their divorces; 36% say their spouse's credit score was a source of stress in the marriage; the average financial loss reached nearly $20,000 (in cash and assets); 39% say the financial loss from their divorce made them never want to marry again.

Millennials Ditching the First Date for the Bedroom
Pavlina Osta
Millennial Pop Culture/Political Commentator
According to a survey by Match.com, Millennials are 48 percent more likely than others to slip between the sheets before a first date to see if there is a spark -- and nearly 30 percent use sex as a litmus test for love, a new study shows. Says Osta: "This is sad. Millennials have a fake idea of what love is from all the social media and movies we have grown up with. Reality star personalities push the sex button to get more publicity, so it's really no wonder Millennials are rushing to the bedroom for recreational sex that bypasses a date."
Osta is a sought-after Millennial commentator booked to share her "keep it real" view on all things political and pop culture. Recognized for her swift and fun interviewing style, this engaging Millennial radio and talk show host has been landing her own interviews with the world's notable superstars, athletes and newsmakers on and off the red carpet since the ripe young age of 11.
