It's global and it's affecting a lot of people.
This crisis has left some of my friends out of work.
With mortgages to pay for plus the cost of living day-to-day
plus the kids' education plus everything else,
it's one tough ride.
The prices of just about everything is escalating so fast
I am finding it hard to keep everything within budget.
There are some things that we've totally scrapped out
of our grocery list because of this.
We've also decided not to push through with
our much-needed, long awaited Christmas vacation trip
in order to save up.
I guess, I should still consider myself lucky
because we have our own business
so we're not really all that hardly hit.
How about you? How has the crisis affected your life?

Yes, it has definitely affected me very much. My savings which are in Mutual funds have hit rock bottom and the dipping of the share market has also hit me quite a bit.Further everything has become costly.I am disabled and retired and without a job, so my expenses have mounted considerably in medicines, foodstuff, groceries,etc. God only knows when things will get back to normal. Meanwhile i am trying to make the best of the situation.
