YoChurch Daily~Volume 5

Friday, April 9, 2021

Our first work week together! Has YoChurch made it any different? Thanks for reading- and thanks for the feedback I’ve gotten so far! Please keep it coming ☺️

First Things First (Daily Reminders):

• Have you said hello to God today? If not, why not say howdy? ☺️
• What is something you’re grateful for that happened yesterday (breathing counts if that’s all you’ve got)?
• Will you please try to help someone today (even if it’s just a text to check in)?
• Would you please remember our YoChurch community in your prayers?

Verse of the Week: 

“Therefore, once you have your minds ready for action and you are thinking clearly, place your hope completely on the grace that will be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed.” — 1 Peter 1:13

News:

Buckle up: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-56683852 Summary: it’s a set of predictions and they can always be wrong but spies see an increase in conflicts, both internal and external, at a time when we can least afford it. Not a lot of specifics we can do except pray. Stay flexible. Keep learning skills to stay relevant in the job market. Live below your means and keep a self safety net.

Is a Robot Coming for Your Job? Probably. 🤖It’s a question of when. https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/manufacturers-embrace-robots-perfect-pandemic-worker-n1263434

Scariest line presented as “good news”? A few people will still be working... as robot minders. 🤦‍♀️

“Nachtigall said he sees Stretch as a tool that warehouse workers will use, rather than an outright replacement for them. Workers will still need to check in trucks, open their doors, and enable a robot, or several, to unload the trucks.” 

I know this isn’t ray of sunshine stuff but we also can’t put our heads in the sand, right? But wow do I understand wanting to.

A Great Example and Uplifting Story She adapted and up skilled when the pandemic killed her job. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/08/how-a-29-year-old-single-mom-earning-75000-dollars-in-nyc-spends-her-money.html

Stressed out? I am. 🥺 You may want to try a self swaddle (way better than a self own!) It seems to help!

That Friday Finance Feature

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) are programs sponsored by your employer to basically let you use pretax dollars to pay for many medical related expenses, up to $2750 this year. Here are expenses that qualify: https://fsastore.com/FSA-Eligibility-List.aspx

You enroll in these programs at benefits open season or when you start a new job. Sometimes qualifying life events also allow you to make a change.

Here is a rundown of recent changes to the program: https://fsastore.rebelmouse.com/2021-fsa-deadline-changes

Why care now? The deadlines to submit your expenses for reimbursement are coming up FAST! Don’t forget to submit your expenses before the deadline date because FSA accounts are “use or lose” money in most cases. 🧐
