Glad you will be getting back to normal work routine and income, disruptions are stressful. You did the right thing cutting costs and continuing with an added nest egg for future disruptions, I don't think we are anywhere close to done dealing with the economic fall out from covid. It was a good eye opener to just how fragile our routines and quality of life can be. I did what you did with the nest egg a few years ago when I got disrupted and when things whet back to normal I continued limiting my spending, all the tools I have learned helped during this mess. Diversify your savings, put a little in all over.
