What is the one personal positive has the events of COVID-19 had on you?

My daughters and grandkids have been so helpful and protective of my wife and me. I’m so proud of them and the additional things they are doing to help others.

Saving money and hammering down debt.

Also taking care of random apartment tasks that I've put off forever.

Got to see my 6 month old go from just a "blob" to now sitting up and babbling and trying to crawl. Got more walks in with the family. Learned that switching jobs so far has been a blessing. More flexible and haven't done a pay decrease like the one I left in January.

That is awesome.  You'll never regret getting all this time in with your kid while he/she is this age.

I’m a lot more aware of using sanitary wipes, washing hands, not touching door knobs with hands, and not touching my face so much.

I hope this is the same for me.

No childcare costs, that saves tons of money. BUT...these kids eat a ton throughout the day. Food bill has went way up. I've put in over 33 miles in three weeks running. I ran 4 yesterday, most I've ran at one time in 13+ years. So, hopefully I'm losing some weight.

Same. Had the chance to work a lot of overtime the last few weeks but also a lot of monthly expenses have been reduced or cut out completely.

My co-owners of my company will never admit it, but I think I may have become more functional/better at my career working from home.
