We’re now up to 53 known cases. Without getting political, you could see this weighing HEAVILY on the governor yesterday, and I feel like he made the right decision, and you could tell he was visibly upset making this decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been a fan of his personally, and I'm a believer in voting "person over politics" for executive positions, but I don't want to get that too far off track. IMO, even if you don't agree with him politically, he's followed through on what he's run on and genuinely answers questions and cares about people IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And most importantly, his actions over the last week have proven it. It’s not just talk, and I commend that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtait93 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Idk how I’m gonna pay my rent without pulling from savings if this trend continues of shutting places down. I do a lot of travel and work with city and county offices and if they shut down I’m pretty much gonna be told to stay home. Dipping in to my savings is really gonna suck.

Not to marginalize your situation, but just be thankful you have the savings to dip into as many dont. We’re in for a wild ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't recall everything shutting down like this and people hoarding supplies like folks do down here when a hurricane is coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holt_bruce81 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 There's still so many people that are not taking this seriously, which is how this will end up getting spread to the millions. My facebook feed is full of people calling this a joke. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re in for a wild ride. For real. A lot of people have been talking about investing more heavily with the market down. I'm hoarding cash at the moment, because you never know what's going to happen. At worst, i can invest it later. At best, i have something to fall back on if something bad happens. And if i don't need it, maybe someone else i know will and i can help out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're a long way from that, IMO. When i said cash, i meant liquid savings. It's still in a bank. On top of everything else, we don't need an unnecessary run on banks too.

On top of everything else, we don't need an unnecessary run on banks too. I mean, I'm not talking about making a run of everything that I have, I'm talking about $2,000 for emergencies only. I'm currently refinancing and taking advantage of the Fed getting dropped (15 year) and will continue to put money into my retirement every other week, so I'm not talking about 1929 stuff here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be wild. This whole thing is wild. Just think about it guys. This whole thing feels like a sci-fi book or movie, in slow motion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be sitting on a 2k mound of toilet paper. That's what the smart people are doing J/K - having a little extra laying around the house isn't a bad idea, in any situation really. Never know when someone will steal your CC info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
