I'm gonna guess you are financially untouched by this entire Covid disaster. Suffice it to say I, and many many other I know, are not. It has been an effing catastrophe.
BTW I have received not a dime from the government, and do not expect to.
The only income I have that I can count on right now is meager online work as a site manager. It'a really nothing much. That dough comes into my account directly, as all of that is paid monthly by credit card by my clients... But I can only get at my money 300 bucks at a time, delivered via ATM in 20 dollar bills. My business as a computer tech has dropped off the face of the planet. I am surviving mainly on stores, forage, fishing, the garden, and what little trade I get from hillbillies... Other than the beef we took to freezer camp a couple months ago, restocking has been hard to do, but harvest is here, and I will be topped off and then some shortly. And I am doubling down. I will have a year's worth stored up by the end of harvest,and I am going hunting for sure this year, and will get an elk in the freezer good Lord willing.
Last month, without the online dough I can't really get at, and without really resorting to printing a balance sheet, I made something around five to seven hundred bucks. SO don't think for a minute I am unaffected.
The exception is that I possess alternatives to a raw money income stream in barter and forage and farm, which will keep my belly full regardless. And I own my house, and the new place up in the holler. That's different life decisions than most all y'all, and right now I am kickin it because of it. Hillbilly Deluxe. The rest of the time, y'all would laugh at how I live, which is surely meager by comparison to most folks... But right now, when the chips are down, is why I live the way I do. Hard times always come. Hard scrabble is where I shine, because I have done it all along.
I DID get the 1200 bucks from uncle, and it went to pay my property taxes. Every bit of it. So woohoo.
