My partner and I were laid off December 2019. In February 2020 my government started giving us both a lot of money every month. We were not working from 2020 until 2022, and made money anyway. We spent all of our time together, at home, going out as little as possible, doing everything we loved (we have all of the same hobbies and are homebodies).
That time was best for me too. I was forced to adapt to working from home, and I haven’t been back to an office since. I got a job in my dream industry as well, took a risk, and all is amazing now.
You didn’t? For once in my life I had a good excuse to stay at home and do nothing! On the rare occasion I did need to go out, the air was clean and the highways were empty.
You enjoyed 2020?

Best years of our lives.
Yeah borrowing from the future is fun. Until the future arrives. :/
Whatcha mean!
It’s like living off credit cards. It’s fun until the limit runs out and now you have to pay it all back.
I don’t quite understand. I didn’t have to pay anything back, we just saved a ton of money and bought a bunch of index funds hahaha.
We all paid and are paying it back via inflation.
(At least that’s how it is in my country)
Ahhhhhh alright you’re not wrong at all hahaha. Selfishly, it was the best time for us.

Well we got to see the nations lowest forms of life throw a largely ineffective temper tantrum. What’s not to enjoy?

I wish every year was like 2020.
