I guess I am just going to have to get a divorce....
until the Corona virus thing is over. This morning my wife saw the stock market was down another 462 points in pre-market trading, she comes into the den crying that unless I do something our 401k will disappear. Her remark was "how are you going to take care of me?" I told her that maybe all this stress I am getting about this will cause me to have a heart attack and I will die at my desk so she can collect on the life insurance policy...that should tide her over.
I have tried to make her understand that the stock market decline is not because our economy is bad, but that this Covid19 thing is making everyone crazy because we have no immunity for it and we have no vaccine for it so the only thing we can do until this happens is to basically shutdown the country to try to stop it. Once we get a handle on this and start winning this "battle", which I have every faith that we will, everything will turn around. Luckily I work for an industry that is not service related so I go to work everyday. If the government would quit trying to slip in money for pet ideologies, like increase funding for abortion, and pass funding help for those that need it, with a sunset clause, we can all take a breath.
