There are many reasons that people struggle with the stay at home orders being thrown out across the country. Many will tell you their mental health is deteriorating due to too much isolation. Others will beg for their routine back. Still, others miss the simplest pleasures, like going to the gym that has been inevitably closed in the name of social distancing.

While our struggles are far from over with the help of this $1,200, it does give you the opportunity to spice up your quarantine, should you choose to spend your new cash in that way. For those of you missing your fitness routine (join the club, sis) this $1,200 can easily be spent in the name of good endorphins.
