We’ve learned over the last 3 weeks about 10 million Americans have filed for unemployment insurance due to the coronavirus pandemic. It may be a while before people start seeing any money rolling into their bank accounts. It can be scary to think about finances when you currently have no income or savings.
The very first thing that you need to do if you find yourself out of work is to assess your situation. By this I mean you have to face your numbers. I recommend to write exactly how much you need to meet your bare essentials. The priority should be to extend your money to cover your essentials for as many months as possible.
The stimulus checks will be coming soon! The Budgeting In Crisis webinar this weekend will show you different strategies to spend and save it wisely. Now is the time to strategically plan how you will spend and save that money before it hits your account.
LesWin Financial believes that saving money even when money is tight can help with unexpected expenses in the future. Even if you haven’t experienced a job loss, saving is essential since we do not know the overall financial impact of the coronavirus just yet.
Once social distancing is over, saving money should be the new popular phase. This is not the time for regrets about the past, but rather a time to revisit your plan. Revisiting your plans can either result in revisiting them or keeping things the same. If you don’t normally look at your finances, this is the time to make your debut in front of your numbers, address your expenses, and prioritize your actual needs.
LesWin Financial is here to help you at your financial needs whether its debt management, budgeting, retirement planning, college planning, and investing. We look forward to everyone joining in on the Budgeting In Crisis webinar this weekend.
