We hear a lot these days about the economic impact of the pandemic. Has this been on your mind? If so, tell us what you're thinking.

I have been thinking a lot about the economic impact, particularly in terms of my future employment prospects from currently nothing, when so many people who have had what I am seeking have lost their jobs. It's what makes taking this temporary Census job attractive, despite the risks it entails. On the other hand, since my spouse has tenure, we have a fair degree of stability. And with the paying down of other debts, we have genuinely relieved a longstanding economic squeeze (at least somewhat), plus with spending so much less, particularly on travel, it is creating a World War II-like pattern of saving.
