Current Events > Is COVID-19 cause you financial stress?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Well?

---

Don't have a job but I'm pretty secure and taken care of. No financial worries.

---

My job is fine. 401k is down obviously, but I'm decades from retirement so I'm just ignoring it.

---

Don't have a job (student) and both of my parents are getting paid, so no.

---

My job is secure and I'm still terrified of what the future holds. Not from the virus, from people and government's reaction to it.

---

My 401k is dropping.

---

My job is fine, I will be getting paid like normal. But it definitely screwed up my side hustle activities. Not screwed because I dont actually need that money to survive, but still.

Unless you plan to retire next month don't worry. Keep buying

No. Governor Ige is giving all non-essential state workers 15 days paid time off. Although I still need to go in next week to help cover for the receptionist. I don't know how essential that is :<

No, my job is "essential", and I'll probably be getting more hours now.

I'm told that, as an essential state employee, if non-essentials get paid to fuck around, I get basically 1 to 1 matching for vacation time with every day I work.

Might be useful when the stress cracks me and I go innawoods.

My job is secure but I sure could use the money

I'm fortunate to have a decent amount saved up and my job is paying me for the time off so I'm just straight chilling. Girlfriends a little worried though

---

Business as usual but I am in the middle of moving.So cleaning supplies have been rough to get but I got what I need to move.Once I move I will much better off per month.

---

I'm fine, but I feel like the economy is about to tank even harder.

---

Because of the possibility of this crisis going on for much longer I had to change my medications to 90 day supply instead of the usual 30 that costs 1,564.38 dollars

Thankfully me and my SO both work in the medical field

It's funny. The HSTA just filed a grievance against the state iirc.
https://www.khon2.com/local-news/hsta-files-complaint-over-plan-for-teachers-to-return-to-school-next-week/

HONOLULU (KHON2 ) Governor David Ige said public school students will be back to school on March 30th, but teachers, who are scheduled to be back in school next week say thats too soon.
They say going back to school so soon can put teachers, students and families at risk.
The teachers union, Hawaii State Teachers Association (HSTA), has filed a complaint with the Hawaii Labor Relations Board.
They say a clause in their contact states they cannot be required to work if doing so imminently endangers their health or safety.
Gov. Ige said in a press conference Tuesday, that there would be too many impacts if they close schools, so hes proposing social distancing be implemented.

lol...

It's paradise

I mean it makes sense for there to be some sort of compensation if others get paid for literally nothing. But I'm guessing that it depends on the state.
