Thankfully both my wife and I are in careers that will still pay short of an absolute meltdown (knock on wood). We had a nice pile of cash set aside, but burned through the majority in purchasing our first home a little under two months ago. I really don’t know what we would be doing if we suddenly lost our income. I’ll say even in my position I am still concerned and wonder if we should have still been renting with our cash on hand. I know, crystal balls and what not, but I’m stressing and financially nothing has changed for my family. I can only imagine what this is doing to everyone in a less fortunate situation.
We’re in the camp that we don’t need the check given our circumstance, but I feel that we need to save everything we can just in case.
