I was talking to a colleague at work today (how exciting to talk to someone new!) about some of the things we are grateful for in these challenging times. I thought I might share a few (with a slant towards personal finance).
- I still have a job…
- … which is still paying me my full paycheck.
- I didn’t give away my scrubs from residency
- …and they still fit.
- We usually eat at home, and our evening entertainment is usually watching DVDs (I got a bunch from the library before it closed) or listening to music. So that hasn’t changed much.
- If I get bored, I already have lots of books to read.
- My gym automatically suspended billing while it is closed by order of the state.
- My auto insurance is supposed to be giving blanket discounts, giving that many fewer miles are being driven during this time of social distancing.
- And, most importantly, my loved ones and I are currently enjoying good health!
I hope you have plenty to be grateful for as well. Feel free to share, if you wish.
