KEY TAKEAWAYS

• We're dealing with two issues, moving into this likely global recession: an existential issue in terms of the virus's effects on humanity, and the fact that the economy simply halted, with no reference point in terms of past woes.
• Instead of relying on a future negative scenario, we need to consider both positive and negative. We do not know what is to happen in the immediate future. We need to attempt to remain optimistic where possible.
• Prudence is never a bad thing. Saving money in reserve can either be used for contingency, or if not needed, as a fund to invest or repay finance.
• Think about who your customers are and focus on the best ways to keep them. But if they don't return, who will your next customers be, and how can you best reach them?
• If you can save money now, then you really should be doing so. Don't become complacent, as there's a very real chance that your employer won't be in business if the economic troubles do not relent.
