    I feel that I can keep trying to save and built up physical wealth, but will never achieve it. Am just staring at my bank and my expense record. Every expenses were important and for nonessential, it was the minimum. Yet—my saving is so tiny and I have no safety net. I feel like I am at the bottom of a well yelling “hello? Anybody at the top? Could someone throw me a lifeline?”

    Ya think with all the corona thing, the housing market might tank and you could buy a house? With your current situation, would you spent less owning a home or renting one?

    Safety net is important but so in enjoying life. I spent years saving for a rainy day. Only thing is, when it hit, it was a hurricane. I felt blown away and defeated and I wished I had spent more time enjoying life just a little more instead of preparing for that rainy day. I am not saying saving is not important because it truly is. But a balance is equally important. When you make sure to have some good times, they can help you when the hard times hit.

    As for housing, in the short term, renting is easier when your budget is tight. Home ownership has a lot of expenses - mortgage, insurance, taxes, maintenance, and on and on.

    If you think CHINA is the one that is good at hiding epidemics, you got another thing coming. It's AMERICA that is better at hiding epidemics. How many people even know of the 2009 Influenza epidemic that Japan got hit by? It came from the States (Baltimore to be exact) but nobody talks about it and a lot don't even know Japan locked down because of a bug that came from the US.

    So before tossing shit at China, make sure your own yard is clean first. China is arrogant and needs a Vietnam of their own to keep them humble but to accuse them of a wrong which we did even better is very hypocritical.

    That depends on what one considers essential. A lot of spending can be essential in theory, but can be substituted with cheaper options in practice. For example, food is essential, but depending on what you buy, how you cook(if you even cook), whether you buy full price or use of sales and coupons.

    There are also many purchases that can save money depending on how you go about it. For example, if you only print black and white anyways, its better to get a monochrome laser printer than an inkjet.

    Then there are certain stuff that can be gotten free after rebate.

    A low wattage bulb can cost more upfront but save in the long run and etc.

    It's all a matter of how much effort you put into maximizing efficiency.

    Yeah. Now, the world's economy is really heading to a downfall trend. Almost free falling.
    It's normal to see for average people's (Mostly employees) savings won't increase anytime soon or even undergoing a deficit.
    Some people is having anxiety because they don't have much savings at all to pull this through. Especially when they heard one of their family is sick and positive. Most governments are bearing the expense, but it's not 100%. You'd still need to pay a lot of things.
    Worse, when you got sick yourselves.

    I feel really bad for a lot of graduates that aren't able to find some work this year. They are essentially wasting time for almost a year without any income. It was hard enough to find jobs in normal times, now it's epidemic, it'll be even worse.
    There are less jobs to be found, because there are less demands. Unemployment would skyrocket this year. Worse than Great depression.
    Even in my company, we're cutting down some people because the company are having a huge deficit just by paying the operating cost.
    Sigh, I even need to personally firing some factory workers that I know, because we can't even sell half of our products.

    The government's financial injections aren't even nearly enough. It's an half-assed help that it's almost non-existent.

    Actually it already did tank. But the look ain't pretty though with people unable to pay mortgage or rent to hit the streets. You'd either see price dropped within the next 6 months or so or up to within two years period since some real estate agency purposely left the home empty without offering them into the market in a bid to retain their high pricing. Anyhow it's a time of crisis and as bad and unethical it is you actually can benefit from the crisis and make money if you're looking to boost your capital. It all depends on how much risky you would want it.

    With the whole Corona business, not good to start some business.

    No. Misinformation. Do your research.

    I thought so too, but if housing prices tank—this would be a good deal even if money is tight.

    Good luck over there!

    Omg. My school days. I don’t even wanna imagine.
