Has the pandemic affected your ability to accomplish your life goals or plans in any way? If so, share some examples.

<strong> My post-retirement plans, as well as those of my spouse, have been shattered by this global pandemic.</strong> All travel intentions--whether domestic or international--have been put on hold indefinitely. Despite our wealth of free time, we cannot visit distantly located family members, participate in volunteer opportunities or engage in face-to-face social interactions. Neither can we proceed with the hope of renovating aspects of our three-decades-old house, as we cannot safely hang out in home improvement stores or invite contractors to visit.<strong> The only plus</strong> afforded by the pandemic is the fact that<strong> restrictions have enabled us to eliminate many expenses and watch our savings mushroom. Meanwhile, we grow older day by day.</strong>
