7. I'm a landlord

I have one particular tenant who struggles quite a bit. Her work hours will probably get cut, even if she doesn't get the virus. I've already accepted the fact that I'm probably going to lose at least one month's rent. I won't evict her. I couldn't live with myself. Besides, if I do the math, it'll cost me more to evict her than a month's rent. My own budget is pretty tight, and I do count on every dollar from my rentals, but I'm likely just going to have to suck it up and figure it out.

A lot of tough realities will have to be faced.
