I have not filled the car with gas in a month. That’s never happened in my life. I’m trying to cook at home. So, I notice some extra cash in the checking account this month.

Since I'm working from home I'm not driving at all. I put gas in my car the week before the stay at home orders started and I'm still at 3/4 a tank.
I'm not going out to eat/drink either which has helped. My only thing is browsing Amazon and impulse buying because I'm bored or going to pick up lumber and tools for a project to keep me with something to do.

I was able to put more into stocks last month than I normally do because I had extra money in my bank accounts.

Indeed:
- No work commute for me. Wife is a nurse so she goes.
- Hardly ever dined out before anyway except for games, vacations, special events.
--- We've not dined out at all in over a month - eat to live not the other way around.
- We have saved money as the bars closed, another plus.
- Gas is cheap for when we do need to go anywhere.
- Have spent a little on my home office (chair, electronics, etc.)

A lot less.

Neither my wife or kids have put gas in their cars. I have only filled up from half a tank.

Bought one delivery meal and (obviously) haven't gone out. Obviously, grocery bill is higher.

I have probably grilled more in the last 4 weeks than in the last year.

I have because working from home, I haven't needed as much gas.

Usually every two weeks I have to fill up 2-3 times. This last time, I only filled up because I thought prices would be heading back up, and wanted to get cheap gas while I still could.

My spending is up due to groceries and now that I am home so much I’m finding stuff that needs to be replaced or something I “need”
