My guess is that 2020 is a right-off. If we are lucky then the latter quarter may be relaxed. So many plans are already shelved. Jersey trip in June, Silverstone Classic are two gone for me. Windermere in September might be ok.
the trouble is it is not just health issues which are the immediate concern and likely to linger for longer than we think, but also the economy. It has stagnated and what will it be like in 6 months? Financial, jobs, businesses gone bust, social aspects?
This weekend has seen a big disregard for social distancing by too many. This has brought the lockdown forward in my view. The attitude of too many has been wrong.
Personally I would rather “look after the pennies” as it is within my control whilst so much else is not. Retired and on fixed income. Cash to hand as a war chest. Investments hammered but will recover over time. So, unlike the daft buggers over the weekend I would rather be prudent now rather than rue the decisions that should have been made sooner.
There are tough times starting but not unsurmountable. When things do relax then the pennies saved now can be spent.
