I haven't been spending money now. Same here, I tightened up. Still working and nervously watching my 401(k).

I was laid off Monday, but my severance package is getting paid out through normal paychecks through May 1. Besides that, my wife is working reduced hours at the clinic because they are seeing very few patients and everyone agreed to take 1 day off per week to spread the workload so they don't have to lay anyone off. Luckily our health insurance was already through her employer, not mine.
We'll be alright for a while, hopefully without having to dip into any savings. I ha e applied for unemployment, but expect to be denied because of the way my severance is being paid out. I'm not working anymore, but still getting a few more regular paychecks. I'd much rather have the security and peace of mind of a steady job, but I'm already looking for something else. Had a desk job for 10 years and would like to do something a bit more active. I just dont have a lot of paid experience doing that sort of thing.

Poor neighbor lady has not worked in weeks she called the other day sewer backing up, they looked at it the other day and the lid caved in we are hoping we can cap it somehow later in the week.

Residential construction shut down by governor's decree so I'm out of work there. But I'm still running my property management business, that won't get shut down.
Financially I'm good. Everything I own is paid for, my home and camp were paid off twenty-plus years ago. All my vehicles are paid for. I have zero debt. I could probably retire and have no worries.
I feel bad for the folks struggling with mortgages, bills and debt. It has to be tough for them right now.
Eh...wot?

Still working unless they shut construction down . I started rat holing frog eyes last year .........something told me this great economy wouldnt last
Not many bills and reduced spending should get me through.
This bail out bs from our federal gov ......is a stupid idea

Perfect example and reason to pay off debts as soon as possible.....including mortgages
