Rarely, if ever (in modern times) have so many people simultaneously undergone a forced and sudden utter change in circumstances (wartime excepted).
With so many of us finding our worklife threatened, jobs at threat or gone, incomes compromised, freedoms of movement restricted, etc.
So .... has being dumped on made you rethink anything?
Job /career?
Working from home?
Buying on credit?
and so on. Anything really.
For instance, all's normal and .... wham - you're laid off, finances uncertain, etc.
Does it make you wish you could unbuy that new car (and ditch the loan), or unbend your credit card for the laptop, holiday, etc?
Would you now let the notion that what you thought was a stable income and comfortably affordable payments are, overnight, no longer affordable and are a millstone round your neck?
So in future, would you forego any credit finance unless absolutely necessary?
Similarly, suddenly being forced to work from home, or teleconference rather than travelling extensively, make clear that not only are they possible, but might be prefereable?
These are just a couple of examples. But has recent events made you re-evaluate any significant aspect of your life.
I'd sure say it's shaken a lot of beliefs in the stability of our lifes, and shown us what we take for granted isn't quite so fixed.
