What Should I Spend On In This Pandemic?



People started rushing to the market after the announcement of the Lock-down, to purchase what they'll use during the period. A number of offices were closed as well as shops and other manufacturing and production companies.

As the pandemic continues to keep most people at home, altering, slowing down and even totally suspending events and business activities especially those involving the gathering of a number of people, there is also a lot of job losses, salary slashes, delayed payments and crippling of many other economic activities. Irrespective of all this, certain expenses have to be made.

The prices of commodities have increased on a double affecting the purchase of items and increasing expenditure over income. Families and individuals are scouting for other ways to live during this period to maintain a happy and healthy life. To achieve this, a number of lifestyle modifications are being made on a daily basis by different people.

Aside social distancing, wearing of a very uncomfortable face mask, washing hands almost about a hundred times a day, staying home on a sunday morning and having friends postpone their weddings, another lifestyle modification that is also very important relates to making expenses.


Part of the modifications i have made include cutting down on my expenses by making a budget, placing an embargo on spending money on things that are not so relevant at this time like snacking, movies, outings... taking note of all i spend daily to cut all avoidable and unnecessary spending.

Now that the lock-down has eased and you have the opportunity to go to the market, first of all how you are coping with all the changes going on? What are you willing to spend on? What tactics are you using to monitor your spending habits this period? What other modifications have you made to maintain a happy and healthy lifestyle?

The eminent part of responsibility

I remember onetime when I had an exam and I didn't want to cook because I really wanted to just read for the exam, I was told that people who write exams also have to eat. It wasn't so easy doing all those chores and still doing well in school but I did and I'm happy about all the lessons I learnt then because they helped me to form habits that are invaluable now.
