Everyday, we see dokter Reisa Broto Asmoro gives a report about Covid-19 on screen. She is a new spokesperson. After we had seen Mr. Yuri for about 3 months as a previous spokesperson with his serious gesture and mimic, it is a good choice to have a new face on television who delivered the information especially as pretty as her. But, sadly the data being reported by her is not a good news, the daily number of people being infected increased more than before. Eventhough more than 1000 people newly infected daily reported, most of the city preparing for the new normal life stage.
After 3 months (March - May 2020), the economy were totally slowdown, many people lost their job and some of them even lost the life of their beloved one because of covid-19. Should we change how we manage our money in this new coming new normal life?
I personally think that, we should change on how we spend our money in this new normal life era. First of all, we should check, is our monthly income still the same before the covid-19 outbreak? Secondly, is our savings still cover our daily expense for the next 12 months? Last but not least, had our family been covered by health or life insurance especially with the clause of pandemic covid-19?
After we checked our income then we should check our expenditure. Focus only to spend our income to most important expenses such as daily meals, rent for our home, electricity, water, schools fee for our children, other expenses that can not be undone. List again our need and be aware of our want. For now, make sure we can differentiate which one is our need and which one is our want. We can buy things that we want next time, after the condition is better. Save more and spend less is better. You should have emergency savings in order to prepare the worst, for example losing the job or losing your family member who is the breadwinner for your family.
Nobody knows when the corona virus outbreak will end. Until then, it would be better to save our money and don't waste it for something that we will regret then.
