Yeah, it seems to be a safe course of action I think, and provides options down the track if things take a turn for the worse again. If I was to. Buy BTC it might even make me some money huh? It gives us the ability to be flexible though, and I think that's what people need right now.
Has the situation had a huge impact on you or are you not really affected?
Exactly, that's what I've been doing as well, putting it in BTC and a few altcoins. Spreading the chances, hoping that in the end it makes some extra money rather than saving it on the normal bank account.
During the lockdown, I got hired for a job that I had my eyes on before the lockdown started, but then the situation got a bit stressy (not knowing what was going on made me stress the first weeks) so I kind of forgot to apply for it. A few months later it turned out that this process was on hold anyway due to my boss being infected with Corona and so eventually, I got hired during the lockdown. It's officially a long term job, but so far not all of the countries are finding enough people to participate so in a month, we will know which ones will have the long term job. Mine is kind of rocky at the moment.
Not going to worry about it though, I tried my best, and if the response here isn't as good as I hoped, there's not much I can do. In the end, the universe will deliver something else anyway. But I have to be honest, I do hope it works out so of course I'm going to give it an extra push this month :)
So where most incomes have been reduced, here, we received an extra parttime income moving houses and buying some furniture for our new place wasn't a problem. Thanks to that job. Hopefully, it stays that way, if not, I will see how it goes. It looks like my boyfriend is going to be promoted soon anyway, which was the case before lockdown also, but then that was put on hold as no one was at the office.
But I'm pretty happy that we didn't have stress about money during those weird months. I'm pretty thankful that we got spared that part, as I know many people have been struggling :(
Seems things have been sort of ok for you which is good. Stress can affect people in so many different ways, most negative, and it's great you've been able to avoid it in the main. So many people are struggling...Throw in some additional stress and things can spiral out of control easily.
True, and trust me when I say, I've been there as well. It's thankfully in the past, and not planning on going back there, but sometimes life throws stuff at you, that you never saw coming. I don't think anyone saw this pandemic coming.. Thankful that this wasn't a reason for stress here. Anyway, good to read you will be having some more reserves soon, hopefully it will be worth even more in the future ;)
