The impact of wife\u27s employment on the acquisition of home ownership and the accumulation of home equity

The data for this study come from a longitudinal survey, the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. The subsample used in this study includes husband-wife families that remained intact and had the same household head from 1979 to 1983. Four models are tested. If the wife\u27s average hourly earnings are high, there is a high probability that the family will own a house, have high home equity levels, and have a large increase in home equity levels between 1979 and 1983. The family\u27s stage of the life cycle is a strong indicator of whether a family changes from nonowner to owner status;Whites have higher equity levels than nonwhites. The Western region of the country has higher levels of equity and the North Central region has lower levels of equity than the Northeastern region. There is a significant difference in equity levels and in the change in equity between cities of 500,000 or more compared to those with populations of less than 500,000. As families acquire more income, they invest more of it into their home. When the wife is relatively old and has a high level of education, the probability is high that the family will have high levels of home equity

Financial Influences Impacting Young Adults’ Relationship Satisfaction: Personal Management Quality, Perceived Partner Behavior, and Perceived Financial Mutuality

In this study, we investigated the extent to which young adults’ (n=274) personal financial management quality and perceived partners’ financial behavior were associated – both directly and indirectly via perceived financial mutuality – with relationship satisfaction in committed relationships. The study was grounded in Social Exchange Theory (SET). A path analysis revealed that perceived partner’s financial behavior had a direct association with perceived financial mutuality, which, in turn, had a direct association with relationship satisfaction. In contrast, the participant’s financial management quality and relationship satisfaction were not directly associated nor was they indirectly associated through perceived financial mutuality. Perceived financial mutuality had the largest effect on relationship satisfaction. These findings indicate that perceived financial mutuality plays a key role both directly and as a mediator on relationship satisfaction for these young adults. The implications of the findings provide insights for designing preventive financial strategies early in romantic relationships

mTOR independent alteration in ULK1 Ser758 phosphorylation following chronic LRRK2 kinase inhibition

Unc-51 Like Kinase 1 (ULK1) is a critical regulator of the biogenesis of autophagosomes, the central component of the catabolic macroautophagy pathway. Regulation of ULK1 activity is dependent upon several phosphorylation events acting to repress or activate the enzymatic function of this protein. Phosphorylation of Ser758 ULK1 has been linked to repression of autophagosome biogenesis and was thought to be exclusively dependent upon mTOR complex 1 kinase activity. In this study, a novel regulation of Ser758 ULK1 phosphorylation is reported following prolonged inhibition of the Parkinson's disease linked protein Leucine Rich Repeat Kinase 2 (LRRK2). Here, modulation of Ser758 ULK1 phosphorylation following LRRK2 inhibition is decoupled from the repression of autophagosome biogenesis and independent of mTOR complex 1 activity
