Does the Corona Virus have you worried Financially?

I am 30 yrs old living with my parents and brother. I work as a graphic designer and currently working from home. I am pretty worried because I have no money saved up and no money currently in my bank account. I had $771 last Friday but spent it all on a fun weekend. Something I 1000% regret now. My Dad (mom is retired) and brother have enough money to sustain us for a while. I get paid this Friday and will have around $500 in my account which is good. Though I am able to work from home, because of the virus many of our clients have canceled a lot of their events which has put many of our projects on hold. So I am not sure how long I'll be able to work. This makes me realize that I have wasted 10 yrs of my life doing nothing. I've only been working for 5 yrs, and in those 5 yrs besides helping my parents with rent. I should've at least saved a few thousand dollars. I have no one to blame but myself. I don't have a car, girl friend, nothing. I see guys in their early 20's doing a lot better than me. Living the life I wish I had. When we make it through this I am definitely going to get my life together. Anxiety and Depression has crippled my life. But this event has been a turning point in my life. After this I am really going to start living life. And live up to the potential that most people know I have.

@Platinum Good to hear all is well, and yes it most definitely thought me to manage my money better. I have been really reckless in the past with my finances and it has cost me dearly. Fortunately I am a graphic designer and now work from home. Thank you.
