no matter how long?
eh. i mean there's a limit to everything. right now we're both working, and if that doesn't change, we're good to go. and i don't see my wife losing her job. she's in home health, and they're basically moving most out patient treatment to home health right now, so she's busier than normal. i'm stable, and i've got my fingers crossed it stays that way, but if the worst were to happen, we do have a plan for that, and we've made it a point to save.....we'd probably be "good" for about 6 months before we had to get really creative, and maybe make some difficult choices financially.
why? i know you guys are in a tough spot, and you've had a rough go of it with your family lately...the only thing i have on the horizon close to that is my mom, she's got dimentia/Alz as well, and it's only a matter of time before we have to make some really difficult decisions for her, and my dad really.....so the "when" that comes to fruition will play a big part of the hand we'd have to play....but who knows when that day hits...could be tomorrow, or 2 years from now...
if you're asking in regards to my willingness to stick this out, i mean, i can't deny that situationally, being able absorb a hit and still keep running relatively close to normal, it makes it easier to take that stance. but it still comes with it's own set of obstacles to overcome....i would imagine financially, that's a large obstacle for you guys....hency your urgency to get back to a functioning economy....i think everyone agrees that'd be ideal....
my concern would be if we kicked it back in gear for the sake of kicking it back in gear, not because we could sustain it w/no further interruptions from this virus.......past that, yeah, we need to get back to "normal" as soon as possible.....
i think if we had to shut down a 2nd time this year, it'd have a bigger negative impact that this go around, no matter how long it lasts....i understand that is not a one size fits all perspective....and you likely disagree, for probably obvious reasons relative to your situation.....and i get that....it sucks. and i know there's a lot of people that need to get back up and running so they can get back to work...no money, or very little money, coming in is adding more stress to an already stressful time.....there's not a lot of good choices here.....i think no matter what we do, there's going to be an unfortunate fallout.
extortion right there.
