What bills should I pay first during the quarantine?

The quarantine will keep many out of work and without cash. Here are the bills you should prioritize.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Federal, state, and local officials have all encouraged people to stay home to avoid possibly catching or spreading the coronavirus. 

That means many people won't be getting paid, especially those that live off of tips. 

But there are some things you can focus on while we're waiting for things to go back to normal. 

The first thing you need to focus on is your rent or mortgage. If you're having an issue paying it, call the bank or your landlord as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the messier this gets.

Next, you need to focus on your utilities. Many have pledged to not shut off service during this time and most have assistance programs, but it's best to still contact them to be safe.
