Some of us have been hit harder than others. Wifey and I are still getting paid. We are blessed, my kids are still able to work too.
The only cost to me is going to be a little retirement lost, cause we were working overtime out the ass. My retirement is based on my best three years, so it will cost me some.
How has the virus affected you??

Been fortunate.
Just inconvenience really.
Work still going. Same hours.
No one i directly know has caught the china flu.
Got plenty chit tickets.
Plenty bullets.
A lot has to do with leaving in rural part of the state. We move slow around here on a normal day.

Hard to say exactly, as I have little overhead when I'm not fishing. I figure something around $25k gross.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

We were due to get two raises between July and October (9.5% total). Theyre gone and we'll be lucky if there's not a pay cut on top of it.
Over the course of a career it will be a huge loss in pay and retirement benefits.

Been great for us
Wife got to work from home for 7 weeks, she planted a garden, built a fancy cabinet for towels in the guest bathroom, she’s helped me cut, load, and stack about a cord of wood.
No one missed a check
Rentals stayed rented and paid on time
And got $2400 direct deposit
She is back to reality today, recording questionaire answers curbside at a drive thru virus testing site.

Did not receive any fed funds.
Work is up, for now. But just got word my second largest client is pretty much shutting down all theair activities through the Fall. Means a loss of probably close to $100k. Making some of that up now, but will not make anywhere near all of it up.
If this crap keeps up, I stand to lose my biggest client and all the work that goes with them this summer and that will be well over $100k.
We will see.

Some losses can’t be measured in money. Constitutional rights once lost can never be fully regained. Lots easier to find a lesser reason the next round.

It hasn’t. But I know a lot of folks that it has. Not because of the corona itself but just over the crazy forced mandates to it. Many are in the services and entertainment industries. But me personally, nada, and I’ve worked seven commercial iron jobs since this bs started. No less than three at one time. That is above my regular fab piece and repair work. Working in non ventilated, new reconstruction with metal framers, electricians, hvac, plumbers, sheet rockers And probably four or five more trades, walking all over each other and nobody wears a phugin mask. I don’t know of one friggin person that has caught this death plaque. I personally haven’t even heard of anyone either.

Not affected much - same income, less golf, more gun range time.

About 70,000 in bonuses, and received nothing from government, was on unemployment for 6 weeks and that cost me another 1400 bucks, on top of that my well went bad and had to spend 11000, so much more than I want to admit....

Personally, down 50K. Business probably lost close to 700K.
Good news, we cut the bottom 10%.

No missed pay checks, I already worked from home 2 or 3 days a week now I am working from home 5 saving 50 miles a day on my vehicles.
We were told next years bonus will be cut in half but my retirement fund is doing fine. My etrade 401k I manage (using Motley Fool) is up 20% since Feb 1st while my wife's professionally managed account is down 8%. I subscribe to 2 of the Motley Fools Premium services, the best $300 a year stock advisor going.

1.1476% of my sense of humor. What remained of my willingness to respect the opinion of democrats. ~$15.00 added to my electric bill from casting bullets. -10# of lead alloy 5 gallons of diesel fuel Misc. odds and ends
I am..........disturbed.

Haven't missed a day of work, it's actually created opportunity for me.
401K and brokerage accounts are up.
No commute, so more sleep and less spent on gas.

Really hasn't cost me anything. Paycheck still coming in. It really hasn't had much impact on me and my family at all.
You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!
