Day 48: Money

I paid my credit card bills this week. It’s shocking how little money we’ve spent recently. No trips to the most expensive grocery store in town, no takeout, no school lunches, no fill-ups at the gas station, etc. Those things really add up.

I haven’t been shopping much online either, and honestly I don’t know if that’s good or bad. I want businesses to survive. I want the economy to recover. I want for everyone to be employed and to be paid. And I want to do my fair share to make those things happen. But I don’t like the idea of people risking their lives to bring things to me. It’s a complicated situation, and I don’t know what the right answer is. So I’ve drawn a line between things that I can justify ordering because they’re good for our physical and/or mental well-being, and things that can wait for less pandemicky days. Most things can wait, so they’re going to have to.
