5 Secrets to Do During Disaster

We weren’t ready for this Coronavirus to hit our country! None of us could have imagined the country almost “shutting down” because of this pandemic! We are all trying to stay healthy, wash our hands tons, and keep a healthy distance from people! We are told to only go out for needs and stay 6 feet from most people outside of our family. It’s absolutely crazy but so necessary to keep this virus from spreading! So what do we do! Here are my secrets to still thriving financially during disaster or save or pin for later!

  1. Stick to your budget! Don’t go out and buy more or spend more! Stick to your set budget and buy only what you need! 

2. Save Save Save! Use this time of not going out to save! The money you had for eating out, save it! The money you had for nails or beauty! Save it! The money you allotted to other categories save save save! Focus now more than every on building your emergency fund, sinking funds, or other categories! 

3. Use shelf-cooking! Shelf cooking is making homemade meals for your family, starting FIRST with ingredients you already have on-hand from your fridge, freezer, and pantry, then supplementing with fresh/new items from the store…. not the other way around. I have some amazing grocery and meal plan printables!

4. Evaluate/Re-evaluate your financial goals! What are your financial goals!? Now is the perfect time to assess if your goals should stay the say or you should shift your focus to another goal! I write all of my goals in my Debt Crushing Mama workbook, and try to look over it daily! Where should you be focusing your attention when it comes to your finances? Evaluate now!

5.Pray over your finances and business daily! This should be number one! But we can save the best for last! Prayer changes everything! We pray daily over our finances and business among other things and God has absolutely been so faithful to show up big in our lives! Make prayer such a priority especially during times of disaster (but always too)!
