I have been hearing some of my mates who have lost jobs or worried about losing their jobs which eventually won't have funds to punt.
Anyone else feeling it?

Most of my staff will be gone from next week !
A few of them have been with the company for more than 10 years, well, at least they all got payout.
I'm working from home, so far I'm okay.
My Thai partner and most of her friends that worked in pubs have all lost their jobs.
Looks like I'll be covering bills for awhile.
Most of these girls have only enough savings to pay rent for the next month or so. Plus no money to send to their families OS.
But not much different if they were back home anyway.

I am a self funded retiree, I still manage to get some freelance work in the industry I have been in all my working life, but I really feel for anyone particularly small business owners who were doing it tough before this and employ hard working Aussies who they have employed for years and having to let them go , the sex industry will recover, its been around for thousands of years.....good luck to all.........Quote:

I've been trying to avoid the tag "pensioner", but that might be my next move.

Sobering
Extrapolate based on the shitty raggedy ass reportage we are besieged by and someone here ..will surely rear their head and yodel Armageddon
But for all on marginal income future prospects in coming months where welfare and govt aren’t that inclined. Hard.
However who heard the news out of El Salvador
The president has frozen all payment . Including tenant rent etc etc for 6?? Months -and is ready to dish out 70 million to keep everyone fed and as comfy healthy as is possible in these times
A positive story phew
Mate, if you have reached that age and eligible for pension, now is the time, that's what we have paid tax for all our life. and then if or when this thing is over, just cum out of retirement and work again, why not ?Quote:

I think this whole pandemic could last a few months. It will recover but it will take a while. Keep your heads up high and all will be ok
Seeing the queues at Centrelink is enough to bring a grown man to tears. A lot of these people have never bothered the government for a hand out before.
I am indeed one of the lucky ones. Our business is struggling to keep up with demand. I'm also about to get my bonus for last year which is very healthy indeed. Just got nowhere to spend it!
You could always give some charity......Quote:

Will definitely be helping out those close to me that are affected. Also looking at offering a spare room at my house for a family in a bit of trouble.Quote:
