    Quoted from NimblePin:

    If you work, or can continue to work from home to begin with, it’s technically just another day at the office.
    Why change spending habits if the above holds true for the foreseeable future and pinball is already factored into the annual budget?

    Because even though I'm working from home, I don't know what the future holds. Yes, pinball is factored into my annual budget already, but that is because I enjoy it so much. However I don't know where this whole thing ends. What if we go into a depression and I don't have money coming in? If I drop 5500 bucks on a game right now, is that enough money to feed a family of 6 for a year? What if a close friend loses their job and needs help for a bit? I'd feel like an asshole if I was saying no, but you can come over and play my new game! In unsure times people hold on to their resources a lot tighter.

    Quoted from NC_Pin:

    So we are not eating out... at least not for a few weeks. Remember your Darwin, those who adapt to the new environment are the ones to survive. Those that continue on as they were are the ones that die off.

    I'm about ready to kill for a fuggin pizza right now. I didn't realize how much I ate out until now. But there is just no chance I'm going out to buy prepared food someone else cooked, touched, and packaged. It's just not worth the risk right now.
