Maintaining financial health once the lockdown is over will be important for our saving goals and for having a financial cushion to handle any emergency. In every recession people will cut back on purchases that can easily be postponed and increase precautionary savings in anticipation of worst crisis. What makes the coronavirus pandemic different is that people will eliminate spending for restaturant travel and other services that usually fall but do not drop to zero. This adds to year long habit of savings among Indians whether it may be FDs in banks RDs in post office or in the physical form of gold.

You would be thankful to yourself. The ailing will be well again migrants will find their homes, the restaurants will fill up. The rich and middle class will get to work and forget these nightmare months. But if they carry anything with them into the waking world, would be a healthy respect for our daily bread and habit of saving money for any future obstacles.
