These 5 couples share how the pandemic has impacted their spending. (via CNBCMakeIt)
Becky: We've been spending a lot of time as a family. Before the stay-at-home order, we rarely had any family time. Mark was gone Friday through Sunday due to work, and Kali was spending her full days at kindergarten.
Mark was unfortunately laid off due to Covid-19 and school is out, so we've been watching movies, building with Lego, drawing pictures together, making videos and movie scripts , baking, playing outside, reading and writing books, cooking dinner together and so on. Our two older kids are actually getting along better and playing together more often. We still have fights and I hear "don't take my toy!" a lot, but it happens much less often than it used to when Kali was at school all day. This quarantine happened at a good time for our youngest, too. She's showing her little personality and is reacting more to everyone in her life. She is smiling and laughing a ton at her big siblings and her daddy.
Mark: We have been finishing home projects, playing with the kids, cleaning. Gosh, mostly cleaning ... like 70% cleaning. Also, playing video games and connecting with our family members online. I have also been playing music, studying programming and applying for jobs since I was laid off a few weeks ago.Becky: It has impacted our spending significantly. We're no longer taking multiple trips to stores and restaurants every week.
