How to pay bills, search for jobs, and help others during a pandemic

Hey friends! I know it’s been a minute. I had surgery at the beginning of March. It was daunting and scary, but I’m all good now. (Maybe I’ll blog about this at a later time.) As I’ve been working to get back into a normal routine, everything around me has changed significantly in the wake of the pandemic. Normal doesn’t seem to exist anymore. So like the rest of the world, I’m trying to define my new normal.


I know many of you are thinking about how to stay sane during this time, how to make ends meet or simply how to stay connected with family and friends. Here are a few resources to help that may help:


*Disclaimer: The majority of resources apply to people living in the United States.


Financial Resources

Finances are the biggest pain point for many of us. I know the news on these topics can be extremely confusing. I found the articles below to be very clear and transparent.

Supporting Others Financially

We’re all in this together! While many of us don’t have disposable income, there are some free or low-cost ways we can help others financially.

  • How to use your credit card rewards to donate to coronavirus relief (link)

  • Join, donate, or pay for workout classes you gym instructors are hosting online.

  • Order from a local restaurant once a week to support the employees and the delivery folks that drop it off at your house.
