There are so many things at my age, physical and emotional
status that make daily life a real challenge! Now, with all of the Covid-19 virus being reported and strong measures
being taken to avoid people to people contact and that includes closing our
local attractions… Disney, Universal, Sea World, Arena sports events. In the past few days, I have wondered how
much of this is overreacting. Whether
it is or is not, the economic reaction is going to be real.
With Skip on the construction end of the glass business and
me in the art business, any hic-up in the economy and/or stock market had an effect
on our personal finances! And then there were my health issues that only added to
the financial stress. Our life was a
constant and difficult financial roller coaster ride. Through our life experiences, we learned, the hard way, that a frugal lifestyle was the best way to survive
those difficult financial times. We always managed to have what we needed but I will confess that any little
financial peace of mind was a relief and so appreciated! We
always made the best of what we had and we always made it through!
I am so grateful for finally reaching social security and Medicare! It is the first time in my life I have
watched economic impending doom arriving without panicking! My finances are as secure as the government,
and I know that is not a sure thing, but the most financially sure I have ever
been and I am grateful for the life we led that has created this security.
An acceptable trade-off for not remembering why I came into
this room!
