Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide for systems, computer program products, and methods for a financial wellness application that provides an overview of the financial well-being of users. The financial wellness of the users may be determined by identifying personal characteristics of the users regarding background information about the users and the users' households. Based on a user's personal characteristics, financial wellness questions are determined from a plurality of financial wellness questions to present to the user for which the user provides financial wellness input. The financial wellness input is transformed into a financial situation assessment, day-to-day management assessment, and preparation for the future assessment, which are transformed into an overall wellness score. Moreover, the financial wellness input may also be compared against financial wellness thresholds.

Abstract: An isolation method is described for gravel packed zones separated by at least one packer and having an auxiliary conduit passing through the packer into adjacent zones. The conduit includes at least one each of a shunt tube, flow housing, annular space, and isolation valve housing. The flow housing, the annular space, and the isolation valve housing are all annular and formed between two concentric pipes. The method includes running in an assembly of screens isolated by at least one packer with at least one auxiliary conduit extending into adjacent zones defined by the packer when the packer is subsequently set. The method also includes closing flow in said conduit to prevent flow into shunt tubes during production based on creating a flow barrier in the annular space, the flow housing, or the isolation valve housing, the shunt tubes supplying slurry through the auxiliary conduit prior to the production.
