Does anyone sometimes just kind of feel lonely even when you're busy with work and other things? Not sure if this is Covid blues or what.

All the time, especially that I live by myself. So, I FaceTime my best friend, and we both do our work while we are on the call. We don’t necessarily talk to each other, but having her on the FaceTime makes me feel there is someone around which helps to not feel lonely.

Yes. This has been HUGE during covid and so many people are in the same boat as you. FaceTime, zoom, phone calls during walks, and if you can afford it - therapy is an amazing resource.

If allowed in your area, walks and hikes with friends.

Is anyone else concerned about the direction the automotive world is heading in, and the overall bigger impact to society when no one can afford to own/have a car? I feel like there’s a perfect storm brewing and with the help of Covid and chip shortages and senseless forced adoption of EVs, in a few years common ppl won’t be able to afford a car and even those in upper income classes will be hard pressed. And when people can’t travel freely on their own, that will have downstream FX on society

Advice to young lawyers. Read a book.

I saw the thread about savings and many young lawyers (20s and 30s) don’t know how to open up a brokerage account or invest in their 401k. I know they don’t teach personal finance in school (though they should!), but my advice is that you should go to your local library and read a book about the subject. You have the skills necessary but you must invest in yourself. No one will look out for you.
