    Luckily my job has been secure throughout the pandemic as our industry is classified as an Essential Industry so I have made no changes.

    I kept steadily contributing to my 401k and have been able to save extra cash due to not traveling on vacations or going out as much and sticking close to home. I am one of the lucky ones.

    When we do go out, we be sure to tip well, as the restaurant, bar, hotels and other service industries have been hit hard.
