Have you used Zoom yet? During the pandemic, many of us are working from home. Zoom, as well as other online meeting applications, such as FaceTime and Google Hangouts, are now common tools for gathering safely -- especially for those working remotely.

Get ready -- now is the time to ditch the junk food and eat well while you're hunkered down in your house.

That makes borrowed money a very economical option for homebuyers right now -- and the perfect time to buy a home.
