The coronavirus has caused an unimaginable situation across the globe. Thousands of people have lost their livelihood. Millions of others have had to face pay cuts. This has created monetary uncertainty in our lives. However, with proper planning, managing money during this pandemic is not as difficult as it sounds.
Here are some money management tips you can use during COVID- 19:
Identify Unnecessary Expenses
Sit back and identify lifestyle expenditures that you can cut back on. From dining out to online shopping, determine how you can avoid unnecessary spending.
If you have lost employment or are facing a pay cut, this will go a long way in helping you survive. Put this amount aside to build an emergency fund even if you are receiving your regular pay. That way, even if you face some pay cuts tomorrow, you should be able to get through it peacefully.
Be Aware of Your Rights
The government has announced a series of COVID- 19 relief measures. To make the most of them, you should be aware of your rights. If you are a tenant and are unable to pay your rent due to the pandemic, your landlord cannot remove you from the house without prior notice.
Emergency Fund
Most people have some savings in the form of an emergency fund. It is recommended to use this fund only in emergencies. So, if you are facing financial difficulty due to COVID-19, you can use this money to meet your emergency expenses.
