With this pandemic situation, I need to have a spending plan. It needs to have lots of adjustments. There are so many unexpected expenses during this current situation. It will be miles away for me if I don't do this.
Do you do a spending plan now?
Is it essential to consider this idea?

During the epidemic period, I reduced my consumption, reduced my expenditure as much as possible, and did not buy unnecessary goods.

@moshishibie It is indeed that this pandemic is affecting us. How's the situation in China now?

It's easy... stop spending money on makeup and dresses for yourself. Nobody can see you behind a mask anyway, so it isn't necessary.
A budget is always a good idea, during the pandemic or not. Figuring out how much you HAVE to have each month and then spending extra money for things you don't need is ... well, not really okay, but it is what usually happens.

@DaddyEvil We always describe them as wasting their blessings.

@Shavkat Everyone does it once in a while... but to keep doing it when you know you don't have the money and with no way to legitimately get the money is irresponsible.
I can feel sorry for them without embroiling myself in their problems.

Spending plan is good but I would always go for additional earning plan first

@Shavkat earning plan will allow the fun to continue while spending plan would some how tie as up and curtail the fun, it's also a bit boring

@louievill That's why we need to have some part-time jobs or anything that can add up to our earnings. We cannot rely on tp our government's assistance since they do not have the budget for everyone in our country.

I get steady income through my deposits and pension and so the pandemic has not affected me.

I am glad that you aren't experiencing the changes in income and the like. The random changes in my company's rules are making me shake my head lately, But I can still manage it and trying to find more backups to maintain the simple lifestyle.

If you're talking about budgeting, everyone should do so. Knowing how much money you have and how much is left is incredibly important in my opinion. You shouldn't wait for a crisis for this.

As of now, I am spending a lot because of our recent transfer and we need to buy the needed things in our new house. I want to minimize my spending and always thinking as to how I could add my current income but that would be impossible at this time. Yes, I believe that we need to plan our spendings.

@Shavkat Spending plan is always good, not only during this pandemic situation

@Shavkat I am the same, I never had a problem to afford something, whatever I wanted (I'm talking about a little bigger things)
