How do you guys save money for economic breakdown due to coronoa virus?

Since I am currently hospitalized, I can save quite some cash. Ironically there is someone having oversight over my expenses (as if I can't manage it myself lol). 75 percent of my welfare goes straight to my saving account, the other 25 percent I can spend as I see fit. I also hardly have any expenses by being in the hospital as I got an insurance for that. And a real good one at that. So yeah I can save money easily atm.

I hope you get better ^.^ btw I have the original F.E.A.R disk when it first came out when GameStop was popular.

Great for you! Beside my GOG version I still got the limited edition of F.E.A.R. (European version with the silver letters) bought the day it was released.

Good to know you're doing well. Perhaps consider playing some Hellblade and letting your docs see it and tell them you're using it to work through your issues. Should be good for a laugh, plus it's a good game anyway. :)

Two meals per day.

Breakfast (oats), and lunch.

No dinner. = Overnight fasting (just search overnight fasting).

Im pretty thankful I have the luxury of things being basically the same for me. I already was working from home 3 times a week, now it's 5 times. My job (software dev) is one of the easiest things to transition to WFH environment.

Saving money - I'm not really trying, I think I have a good amount saved to last me through few months here in the bay area, and many years somewhere less expensive - comes naturally from just cooking at home, not going out for bars/clubs/big dinners/birthdays etc. Car obviously pretty idle. Obviously no real need to buy more clothes. I'm not really a big spender anyway.

Being single is both a good and bad thing in this climate. Far less worry to go around since I only need to take care of myself, but also not being able to date/meet girls is kinda of a problem. So far, more of a physical problem, which is manageable so far. Hopefully it doesn't lead to some depression, which is possible if this lockdown lasts more than three months.

Seeing my parents, who are getting up there in age, is a nightmare though. Both logistically and on mental level. I just start worrying that they might catch the rona.

Keep telling my mother, who has major health issues, to not go grocery shopping, and yet she still does. She refuses for me to pick stuff up and drive it to her. Or deliveries. She wants those perfect fruits/veggies she can pick out herself.

The good thing, I guess, is that at least she gets to enter the store in the wee hours (seniors here get dibs in the first hour).
