Has anybody been financially affected due to the recent events?

I got some reserves, but i think about a 90% cut in my income this year if this continuous .Shits pretty brutal. But i won't starve or anything so its fine. Also government is probably going to give welfare to most people that are out of a job tomorrow i guess so yea there's that.

I'm surprised a software dev got hit so quickly. I develop in Healthcare, and we seem to be doing fine.
What were you guys building?

That's what my brother was telling me. Usually after these evens the markets explode, so there is a silver lining.
And if it happens right before the election, Liberals are going to cry lmao

The market wants Trump out. This is pretty much what it said today.
Trumps represent potential gains, but instability, and right now the market is in panic mode.

The kids are staying home. Staff is continuing to show up, including hourly. We are in the planning phase. Its really dumb and is moving super slow. We are providing breakfast, lunch and dinner for the students and it will be delivered by the bus drivers and other staff. We will also be providing some sort of child care for students and staff whos children wouldn't have supervision otherwise. It all sounds absolutely ridiculous and counter intuitive to me.
But the higher ups just cant stand the thought of 3 weeks of people just staying home. Honestly seems like we are expendable and all the admin are just working from home and doing videos and conferencing. I'm actually considering bringing it all up with the union if it hasn't been already.

No. Was broke. Still broke. Had a chance to find other job and now it's frozen (still stuck in my old job which sucks). At least I'm saving on gas.

All this mass hoarding is really screwing people over like me who are broke and have no transportation.
I'm actually starting to get really pissed.

Not yet, but I expect shit to hit the fan in about one month or two with lay offs. The sector I'm working in is not the first, or second or even third to be hit in the economical food chain. But it's coming, sooner or later. This will be a disaster for the global economy. Brace yourselves.

Getting my Sick Pay atm from my job whilst self isolating, my job will be unaffected, at the worst I will have decreased pay via GSP for months.
My beats have went down from bagging me £750-1000 a month to around £300 the last few months so that is annoying.

Nope, I've been off work for a month now (partially vacation and partially due to coronavirus/quarantine) and still getting paid. Technically, I'm "working from home", but there's nothing to actually work on. I'll likely lose my annual summer vacation, but I would have just stayed home anyway this year.

I hate being like this but I hope it's true Trump is giving out neet bux. Me and the person I care for could REALLY use it right now.

Besides Trump's proposal of sending out cash monies, does anyone know if there's any programs right now to help people even with small amounts?
I just looked at the fridge and we're just about out of food and coffee. I take care if somebody who is bed bound for the most part.
We're good on TP but food and other things are getting scarce here and I'm pretty much flat broke now especially since my in-home work came to a halt and I'm doing it contractually.
So shit is hitting the fan here right now. I'd like to send out for food once in awhile but I can barely afford cup ramen.
Landlords are assholes too. They gave us a warning to pull our weeds by the 23rd and we're out of weed killer. It's a couple of old women that nobody in this place likes.
Trying to see if programs for financial help in the area bur can't find any.

6 months of savings and some extra due to strict savings over the course of 4 years. I did Dave Ramsey’s whole FPU. I just got a new job. I’m on site a lot and a lot of clients are encouraged to have remote support. I can do both, but a lot of places have shut down. We can’t go to schools, hospitals, nursing homes, etc. We do all their IT while they’re away, but there’s been tons of VPN setups/fixes/requests.
It’s been crazy with all the requests for VPN setups. I’m still planning on going on site whenever I’m called. Travel in the company for many reasons has been cut off, except for clients.
I’ll be installing equipment while everyone is at home, so I guess there’s some positive side to it all. Everyone will have new equipment when they go back to work.

Churches won't help financially. Maybe food. Last time I got food from charity, over half the food was expired. The cereal too but I love cereal and just ate it.

Damn that sucks.
Hoping that Trump's possible plan of giving checks go to both you and your employees to get the help you need.

Vegas is going dark. Tons of people sent home. We are going to keep working until the end but they are ordering no overtime. Skip customers if we have to.

I'm in isolation with my partner atm. Both have the Flu. Not KungFlu.
But that's a hit in our wallets.
Ironically I work in a Funeral directory.
I don't think they are happy about it as I was meant to be be the driver and a bearer all week.
Initially I thought it was only one week isolation. Gonna have to ring work tomorrow and say it's two
.
Annoying part is that i'm 0 hours so i'm not entitled to sick pay.
No bloody way I'm risking it though. I'm asthmatic so even a small sickness tends to knock me on my ass.

Nope I live comfortably right now, but my job relies on bars, night clubs, restaurants and strip clubs staying open.

Sorry to hear, my quarterly bonus comes April 1st. 100% is going to buy all the half priced businesses I can.
Not to be a glutton, but I sense sub 15,000 DJ soon.
Boys and girls, this market crash is the opportunity of a lifetime if your in a good position ...

We're working from home during the crisis. On one hand they also put a freeze on overtime... but on the other, I spend 100 dollars a week on gas normal (I commute from irvine ca to Carlsbad ca.). So im going to save at least 200

Doing fine, personally. Not only will I not lose hours or stay home, but they're talking about mandating that we work four days in a row and sleep at work for short periods, since I work in health care. Sounds fucking awful, but it will pay the bills and then some.
I'm just hoping the government doesn't stop me going on vacation in May. It's all paid for already. And I got concert tickets to 3 shows this summer already in July.
My gym just closed for 2 weeks, but I got Ring Fit Adventure so I feel like a genius right now.
I'm about to order a Corona beer shirt off Amazon to wear when I go grocery shopping.

Shit. I hope you can get some help asap. You should probably at least qualify for the Trump money. It'll at least get you food. Also renters and whatnot are supposedly showing leniency right now.
I wish I had decent money. I'd throw some your way and others but I'm in the same boat. Except I'm not going to qualify for Trump's bux since I didn't file taxes (i made too little to do so)
I wish you best of luck.
