put it in a savings account for maybe toward my own funeral sometime but which wont be for a long time as from now..,maybe keep the money ifv any emergency shopping needed as hearing on news therewill soon be a crisis in the world of coronavirus which would have a bad impact of world povertyand people with not much money and All,well when that would happen and people under isolation, ,.but i keep my savings of that situation coming or not ,,,,,,so many person died during all this virus when it happened and even other people were afraid to sleep at night but slowly the chronic virus went away
