摘要

WHEN THE FINANCIAL FALLOUT FROM THE PANDEMIC hit home for her last March, Meghan Fernandes was terrified. The 29-year-old mother of three lost both her jobs-first, her position as general manager of an ice-skating rink near her home in Little Falls, New Jersey, then her part-time gig as a furniture sales rep-which cut her family's income by a third. They've stayed afloat managing on husband Mike's salary from his job at an international shipping company, plus unemployment benefits, while doing everything they can to save money. Fernandes has set up tight budgets, taken scissors to her credit cards, stopped ordering takeout, slashed spending at Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts by 75 percent and mastered the art of home haircuts for stepson Zack, 15, and sons Colton, 5, and Hunter, 2. It's been a traumatic six months, Fernandes says, but not all of the impact has been bad. As a result of her newfound frugality, she was able to pay off her student loan in August and expects to pay off her new car in 24 months and their mortgage in 10 years-a full decade ahead of schedule. "I've totally changed my outlook toward money," she says. Perhaps the biggest difference: a greater confidence in her ability to handle whatever comes her way. Before the virus, her family felt vulnerable to economic forces outside of their control. "Now, if something big happens again, I'll be ready," Fernandes says. "I know I won't get stressed out."
