I saw this picture on Facebook a few weeks ago.

While we are suffering no visible physical pain, it is easy to feel frustrated, hopeless, and/or helpless since we are fighting an invisible war that we are contributing primarily by inaction and social isolation, both of which humans aren’t good at. I have a friend who would go to yoga retreat and meditate for hours, or for days at a time. I would ask myself, “how hard would that be?” “Well, from what we are going through now, very hard.”

One of the members at the Tap Dancing to Financial Independence group posted this question a few days ago.

“The member and her husband have a 6 month emergency fund and as of now their employment is safe. The member is a paralegal and her husband is a software engineer. They have one child with another on the way in July. They have had an influx of cash in addition to the stimulus check. Also, as a result of increased earnings and lower spending they can increase savings by $1K per month.
