Wiped you out financially?

How can that be?

***

Well, let’s see:

Lost job and can’t get unemployment.
Bills still keep coming in.
Still have to eat.
All attempts to find other jobs are stymied by this quarantine.
My savings were already slim because of turmoil in the job area, and there’s nothing left now.

It’s funny how many of the Freepers here have the attitude of “Screw you, Jack. I got mine.”

I don’t know this specific situation, but scenarios aren’t difficult to understand:

* Own or work in an industry that requires customers.
* Government forces industry to shut down, or customers are too scared to visit.
* Payroll, rent, utilities come due.

Viola, you are out of business or unemployed.
And, for an added bonus:

* Savings are invested.
* Market crashes.

Goodbye, savings.
