Did your sense of happiness decline during the Corona period? ... you should prescribe "Bloomberg"

Since the start of the Corona epidemic, the sense of happiness has decreased, the feeling of insomnia has increased, and the number of mental health problems has increased.

These matters lead to the question of how one can find more ways to feel happy during these difficult times.

Humans are often constrained by habits and slowly adapt to new conditions .. So what changes must be made?

And Bloomberg News reported that among the most prominent features of the Corona epidemic is the high rates of personal savings in the United States of America, according to what economist Taylor Quinn, professor of economics at George Mason University, said.

In April, the saving rate exceeded 30%, but it declined to 19.5% in June, and it is likely to decline further.

But it is still higher than the level it reached before the outbreak of the Corona epidemic, as it ranged between 3% and 8%.

Despite these declining rates, Americans may have to spend more.

The high saving rate is partly due to citizens' desire to save resources for an uncertain future.

But another explanation, especially for those with higher incomes, is that planning expenses has become impossible, dangerous, or inappropriate.

Instead of flying to Paris and staying at a hotel on the Seine, they headed to a cabins in Maine or West Virginia, or they may have put off plans to buy a new car or spent less time browsing books in the bookstores.

In any case, the end result is less spending and more savings, whether this is done on purpose or not.

These may be wise decisions, but many people still don't spend enough money to have fun.

They are also slow to develop new interests that dovetail with the coronavirus outbreak.

It is possible to achieve more happiness by spending money on acquiring new books, for example, or shopping or subscribing to more electronic news services.

Indeed, many of these things do to some extent.

But it is natural in experimental economies for consumption habits to slowly adapt to changing conditions, especially unprecedented ones.

It is not enough to learn new spending habits; they must be multiplied.

And "Bloomberg" adds that in the circumstances of the outbreak of the Corona virus, care should be taken to spend more money on charity.

It is noted that remittances from Mexicans working in the United States to their country have increased recently, which is an unusual result during the current recession.

This is partly because Mexican immigrants do not have many ways to spend their money there due to coronavirus restrictions, and at the same time, their relatives and friends in Mexico are in desperate need of help.

Everyone should follow the example of Mexicans and do more to help others around the world.

Among the aspects of assistance in light of the availability of savings is the increase in tips paid to service providers when eating in a restaurant or when receiving food at home. Workers in this field face a great risk of losing their jobs, and it is highly likely that they suffer from critical family financial conditions.

One of the ways to enhance the feeling of happiness in these difficult times is the possibility of taking advantage of the relatively un congested roads currently, and visiting friends, so meeting a friend, even with the application of social distancing, is one of the ways to alleviate the pressures that many feel due to the Corona epidemic.

In fact, the pressures and problems caused by the outbreak of the Coronavirus are very real, and it is not easy to get rid of them, and accepting some lifestyle change may be helpful in facing these pressures and problems.
