The coronavirus and COVID-19 diagnoses in the United States have quickly changed our lives in many ways. While health and public safety are top priority, many of us are concerned about our personal finances, and how we will take care of ourselves and our families. Some of us have lost jobs. Some of us have had our hours drastically reduced. Some of us do not have child care so we cannot go to work. Some of us are ill or caring for someone who is ill. Some of us have seen the value of our investments fall sharply. Some of us own small businesses and whether they close or not, we worry about meeting payroll and other operating expenses and whether we will be able to pay ourselves. And some of us are dealing with a combination of these changes.
