Saving Money Frugality of lifestyle in this pandemic era

After one year in the pandemic period I now realize the change of lifestyle for our family. We used to dine out once or twice a week, usually on a Friday night, and sometimes we watch a movie. In the weekend we go on a road trip to a rural resort at least once a month. It was a great life that we enjoyed especially with the kids who love the pool and the beach that we frequented.

But come to think of it now, no more dining out, no more cinema and no more road trip to be away from home. We have survived and we are getting used to staying home all the time. We enjoy watching tv together though and we also dine out in the backyard or in the front yard depending on the weather and the food. Think of the money that we have saved for one year, it is a lot and I think if the pandemic would last for 5 years we can buy a new car with the money that we would save.

As funny as it sounds, you just highlighted the reality of many homes and individuals. The global pandemic has shown us all that we can actually do away with some things and cut some excesses and we will be just fine. Pre-pandemic, there were many things we deem as integral part of our lives and we think we can not do without. The pandemic has shown us that we will be very fine even without it.

Honestly this pandemic really change a lot of things including our ways of life.
Before some people can not stay for a week before visiting one particular place to visit friends and family but this pandemic has changed it drastically.
