[quote=Anonymous]We had a 9 month unemployment during COVID for one spouse. That made it easy to save on pretty much everything there was nowhere to go and nothing to do. But the lesson is still there- no eating out, no buying something not strictly necessary, shopping only items on sale (our grocery store puts manager special stickers on meat almost every evening so I figured that timing out and shopped behind the butcher as he marked items down), we canceled cable entirely and switched cell providers. When it dragged on we didn’t sign the kids back up for aftercare and instead juggled my work schedule with his interviews to cover aftercare ourselves, only got haircuts for the interviewing spouse, didn’t renew gym memberships when the contract came up….[/quote]
