Leave your phone at home, or use an app to lock yourself out of social media, and let your brain focus on where you are and what you're seeing. Notice the flowers and trees that you're walking past.

1	Name/Anonymous	Suggestion	Good For	Notes
2	Leigh	get your spending plan in order	potential loss of income, or adjustment to being home	get your spending plan in order before things go wrong. it's hard to make adjustments if you don't know where you're starting from.
3	Leigh	contact your creditors	if you've already lost income	your creditors are usually willing to work with you before you are late on a payment. contact them directly if you know you will be unable to pay your debts. alternative payment plans and delayed payments are sometimes an option.
4	Leigh	look into unemployment in your state	if you've been laid off temporarily or permanently	states are currently working on reevaluating their unemployment programs and the requirements that go with them. Maryland, for example, had made access to unemployment insurance much easier.
5	Leigh	speak with your spouse and children about what you can cut and what you can't	reevaluating your spending plan and making fast changes	figure out what can go before you need to start making the really hard choices. food and fun are usually easiest to start with. can you cut cable? can you switch cell phone plans? can you cut back on your grocery bill? the USDA releases guidelines for food budgeting monthly, so this is a great place to start if you're wondering how much is a frugal food budget.
6	Leigh	be honest with your situation	getting the help you really need	if no one knows you're struggling, you may end up digging a deeper hole. be honest, talk to your creditors and lenders, and ask for help. family and friends may have tips and tricks that they use in times of stuggle. remember, we're all here, just trying to do our best.
7	Renee Bogues	Reduction in rent	Reducing expenses	If you rent, try writing to your landlord and ask for a XX% discount for next 2-3 months. You can list specific reasons why you think this is appropriate, and one of those might just be financial hardship given the virus, or cash flow challenges. We had specific challenges at our apartment and I went on a limb to ask for a reduction, which our landlord allowed and didn't even challenge. The worst thing they can say is 'no' and you're in no worse shape
8	Renee Bogues	Review automatic deductions like subscriptions to online newspapers, Spotify, Apple TV, Netflix, Hulu, etc.	Reducing expenses	These can really add up and you can always go back to them later (they might even offer a discount later to get you to come back!)
9	Megan	Home refinance, low interest rates!
10	Danielle	The Financial Gym	Financial Planning	If you are seeking guidance on your finances you can schedule a free consultation to learn more about the Gym.
11	Katherine W.	Instead of buying a good online, create a google calendar event telling you to buy it. This way you delay the purchase and online shopping changes from a guilty pleasure to another task (and therefore loses its appeal).	Reducing expenses	I learned this tip from Leslie on Cupcakes and Cashmere.
12	Katherine W.	"Buy Nothing Day"	Reducing expenses	Institute a "buy nothing day." It is what it sounds like. Enjoy freezer/pantry meals, free entertainment, and zero shopping.
