No. Our income is not stable.

As soon as my finances are a bit more secure, I will do the same.

I do have my favorite restaurants which are now doing only curbside take-out, and they advertise their specials and menus. I definitely have a hankering for some of the specialties of my favorite places that I surely don't want to see go out of business.

As soon as my bank account has some breathing space, I'll be chowing down on Tiki Tacos and Paniolo BBQ, and other nearby eateries. Oh, and shave ice!

Since I've lost my income temporarily and am actually having to refund deposits made for some events which will not take place, I'm really having to watch my money.

I mostly miss being able to eat outdoors while listening to music. Hopefully only a few more weeks of eating my own cooking and dancing to tunes on my iPhone in my living room.

I think what you’re doing is great and applaud it.

I myself haven’t gotten takeout once during this pandemic. I’ve been using it as an opportunity to become a better home cook, and I’m putting all the money I’m not spending (on food, gas, after-school care, son’s lessons, parking, etc.) into my savings account. I’ve already put a good amount away. I just have fears that the impact could result in job losses eventually, and I want to have a bigger cushion should that happen to me.
