Quoted from Rdoyle1978:That is a very interesting perspective I've not heard before. But do you think the cost savings will add up to a new machine?
I also think that after this is over, the US will realize how NICE it is not to have your days packed with stuff to do 24/7.
In terms of short term cash I think it could. In my case I've got 2 possibly 3 vacations coming up that may need to be cancelled (depending on Pinburgh) that are at least partially refundable. We also won't be spending money going out to eat or on outside entertainment for a few months as well as gas/parking for work, etc. Should save on daycare/babysitting as well. It will be nice getting to hang out with my family more working from home. Looking at how this will affect all of the businesses around me though and my long term investments (401K) is depressing. And of course if anyone in my family or circle of friends is gets the virus it could be devastating.
