goingto be the four most important things once those are taken care of ifany of those are behind it use this check to get ahead then I want you tostart looking at your other bills and you know do you have to maybe call yourlandlord to say hey this is what I'm going through this is this is what'sgoing on I just got laid off you know maybe check with their landlordand see if you can work out a deal

to your Tildy bill they may have different things inplace that can help you win this they may be able to defer payments for Xamount of days or whatever it may be so talk with those companies don't beafraid to pick up the phone they're really gonna be able to work with youand really come up with a solution it may be some give-and-take but trust meit's gonna be better than just sweeping under the rug and letting things go intodefault we want to take this time now to make sure that we are using this tothe best of our ability and make sure that we're using the $1, 200 or 2400 arehowever much you're getting depending on the size of your family to its maximumbenefit I really want to make sure that you guys are using it fully and not justyou know just shopping and going on Amazon next just to cut anything youdon't need guys there's so much stuff in our lives that we have that weabsolutely don't need this mitt this is a time of crisis right now this is atime where if you have stuff that you're behind on your bills you can't pay yourbills you have to cut other aspects you have to cut cable you have to cutsubscription boxes you have to cut different things like that and maybe youknow home delivery services and different things this is the time to dothat cutting and yeah it's gonna suck but this is this is what we have to doto get through this this financial crisis and it not saying it's gonna beforever but for right now this is what we have to do to make sure that we cancut back in those areas and you know limit youriving we're not supposed to be out in the roads anyway so limit your drivingreally cut back on gas really cut back on it utilities that you're using on theTV that you're watching go outside play do all of that stuff so that you can seeit as much money as possible also where's your emergency fund out whereare you guys at with that this if you have everything else taken care of Iwould recommend putting this towards your emergency fund depending on whereyou are financially stuff is gonna happen and you want to have thatemergency fund full I would honestly recommend it pay minimums on all of yourdebts don't be putting extra towards yoursnowball or avalanche right now I want you be paying minimums on your debts andstashing away cash for that if something happens because who knows you know yourjob may be secure but in two weeks it may not be you know we don't know what'sgonna happen the next set of people is the people that are financially stableand the people that are able to make their bills our jobs are secure they'refine financially and everything and what I would recommend for you guys it's thesame as as I just said is stop paying extras on your debt stop paying in anyof that I want you to be hoarding your cash I want you to be putting it allaway in an emergency fund you may have your thousand dollar merchants you findI think that it's really the time right now to be building that up to a three tosix to one year emergency fund make sure that you have that cash casesomething happens and in case you know something happens to your family orwhatever it is that you can have that cash and start stockpiling after this isdone you can put some of it back into your debt and everything but we honestlywe don't know what's what's gonna happen we don't know how long this is gonnalast this has already lasted a lot longer than they thought it would be andit's I don't see it stopping anytime soon so now it was a great time to holdsome cash and really just hold on to you know hold on to it and to to go intocrisis mode to go into okay we're gonna we're gonna build up our merchants iifund right now and the last group are the people that are financially freewhat are you guys doing with your money at this time honestly this is the timeto give this is the time to help people that can't buy groceries this is thetime to put a tank of gas in someone's car to pay for the person behind you toreach out to the churches that churches struggling right now financially reachout to them reach out to small businesses do extra things of take outto help out those local restaurants this is the time now to give this is the timeto put money back into the economy and to help your neighbor to help yourfamily to help people this is really great time to really just dig in and andyou know use your money for good and use your money for what it's intended forand I honestly believe that you know our money is not ours it's it's it's God'smoney and so this is the time that we are going out and we're giving alsoinvestments what is it what's your portfolio look like right now it's agreat time to be buying right now is a great time to be up in your your IRAupbringing your contributions you know upping your index funds and buying ETFsand different things like that now is the time you know you got extra money anextra five hundred dollars after giving and different things hey throw it in themarket you know it may be scary you may not want to work look at your form k oranything like that but now's when you're buying stocks on sale and ETFs on saleand everything so what's what's your investments look like this is a greatgreat time to be buying them and of course with all that being said it makessure that your merchants even is fully funded I really recommend having sixmonths to a year worth of emergencies that's that's our minimum that we wantto have an emergency fund we are building that up right now as we are youknow putting everything that we can towards our saving is to really buildingthat emergency fund up to a full year's worth of savings $1, 000 that's not goingto cut it one month that's not gonna cut it long term that's a great small termemergency savings but not long term I want at least a year's
