During a health emergency, the most important thing is to take care of life, but also our finances. Keep these 5 recommendations in mind:

1. Prudence: Avoid compulsive spending and panic buying. Buy only what you really need and remember that there are days when you can go out and stock up, depending on the regulations of each country.

2. Opt for local products: During times of crisis, the value of the dollar tends to increase, so buying imported products can be more expensive. Buy local or national brands, while supporting the entrepreneurships of your city or country.

3. Avoid postponing the fulfillment of your financial obligations: If your finances allow it, make fixed monthly payments to avoid future overloads.

4. Control your credit card usage: Keep this resource in mind for unforeseen events or expenses that you really need to make.

5. Define your five economic priorities: Typically, these are housing, food, health, utilities and communications. Try to always make these the first things you spend your income on.

Organization is the key to taking care of your financial well-being during difficult times. Set priorities, make conscious decisions and make money a family commitment.
