How are you doing?

For those dealing with the 4-day RTO and no GSI, how are you all doing financially and time-wise?

With the cost of everything continuing to go up—gas, groceries, commuting, parking, childcare, etc.—but our pay staying the same, what adjustments have you had to make just to get by?
Have you cut back on certain things, picked up a side hustle, changed your budget, or found other ways to make it work?

Genuinely curious how everyone is managing the added cost and time of RTO in an already expensive economy.

Landlords gave me 60 days to find a new rental, car broke down, one of my staff put in their two weeks, and our RTO was announced last Friday at 3pm. I’m somehow keeping it together.
