It is such a sad situation to learn that some people are having hard time staying alive, or even worse, keeping their loved ones alive just because they are lacking money when there are so many people around the world who has billions of dollars. I can't believe that people would not realize that it is a problem and not end up doing something.

We need to figure out how to elect officials who would work for us, and not work thanks to us. All these politicians are working as our representatives but they represent only the rich, and that is our main problem. If we can somehow figure out a way where government protects us from these situations, that would be a lot better.
I believe it was all complicated piece to solve mainly because poverty isn't that simple, it's not like the country usually have the money to always helps reducing the poverty because right now we are also in crisis.
even though I agree that corruption could bring disaster and poverty, but it's always human nature that tend to be corrupts, I'd say fix the system by giving more chance for someone in building their success through their hard work then we'd see people who are willing to make money for the sake of their loved ones thrive. I'd say every individual have their own characteristics and their productivity isn't equal so we should reward more to the ones that contributes more by giving chance.

Or better yet, have multiple income streams. Just so you have a backup if you get fired from your job or your main income goes bust.
If you can do that, your life will be more manageable and safer. But of course, you have to gain and hone your skills for these, so you will be accepted from side hustle companies. That way, you know you have an edge over the others. And you can secure the future of your family because you have enough funds to save aside from saving for emergency funds.

I bet he has other options left that's why he was able to decline the job proposal, it is very easy to make such a decision when you are all alone with no families, but once you have a responsibility it is impossible to be without any job, I believe he said no to the job comfortably because he has other means, if not, he will put his family in a very uncomfortable zone.

The advice I have for him is to manage whatever job he can find right now, not because of himself but that of his family, as time goes on he should keep looking for better job, also, he should not rely on jobs because the company might decide to stop all employees any time.

Just recently my wife also had the same dilemma. She wants to have a job, the same thing she had before, even if it's low paying as long as the incentives are correct. But to her surprise, most of the jobs that she was interviewed was all offering salaries from sales. Marketing usually. I didn't like the idea and I told her it might become a difficult job as she will have to be as delightful as possible while offering whatever the item is.
It's a stressful job and I don't want to see her acting all stressed inside the house although she said it's going to be a work from home basis.
I told her to just keep on looking, we are in better days now with the pandemic gone and we are almost back to the normal ways with people not wearing mask and businesses opening again. She will find it for sure and I believe your friend too.

Thanks for sharing your wife's story. I agree with you that she does not have to rush for any job as sales job is not suitable for everyone. A lot of people can not take these jobs because they are introvert, not willing to talk to others or simply don't like to be paid by sales performance. My friend's situation was not that simple you may think, the job position was actually a designer, nothing related to sales. Due to the pandemic, a lot of business owners try to reap off and cheat the job seekers so they claim the offer to be non-sales but when you come to interview, they say that apart from the fixed work, any job takers must go out for sales. I would do the same to refuse the offer as my friend. Anyway, luckily a few days after I posted the thread, my friend landed on a non-sales job with a fairly good salary. I am happy for him. The same luck goes to your wife. Cheers !

Good news, it's nice to know that your friend has a job so he can take care of the family as well as the opportunity to accumulate the money needed for his wife's surgery. But if in case he still can't find a suitable job, then I think he should accept any job as long as it can provide temporary income for his family. Because of the current economic crisis, it is tough to apply for a job, so we should not be too picky. Many people are still unemployed, so getting a job at this point, we should cherish it.

There are reasons why people declining that kind of job post, just like what you said there are some who are introvert who's not comfortable to talk and without that skills sales is not appropriate with that person, I see the value of having your own decision making and trusting your skills, you can decline the position and try your luck in finding what kind of specialty you can offer, though always depends from a situation and always on the side of the person to decide whether to proceed or to go to other way and not to accept the offer.

Having a stable job is our strong foundation against financial crisis. We might be earning higher than our permanent job but we should not leave our jobs for it because stability and assurance always provide a guarantee of a more secure future. We can have a side hustle but we should always have our job as a main source of income. Having a permanent job also enhances our skills and provides us with more experiences which we can use in the future as well.
honestly, saving up and having emergency money more important than just having main job, the truth is, when the economic crisis hits, lays off are rampant, therefore you could be one of them that gonna lost a job, even if it's supposed to be main job, having side hustle could helps and having emergency money helps more.
I think so many are underestimating the chance of them losing their job, company always seek such chance for the sake of efficiency, their hiring spree is gone, now is the time for most of the company to increase their efficiency through reducing their employees.

If we can follow that and increase our means of living, then we will not be struggling anymore with our finances to the extent of focusing on our side jobs in the future when it’s already giving us great income. With a lot of side hustles available nowadays, that is really possible especially that we can already work remotely and still gain a good compensation after that. However, it’s still best to have a stable job, be it low paid, at least you can rely from it to pay your bills and basic expenses.

A bird at hand is far better than many in the bush, what am implying is that your friend should be take the job he can have his hands in for now while hoping for a bigger one with desirable pay that suits his personality. At least something tangible will be coming from the little job to meet up some financial needs especially for his wife's surgical needs when the time comes and not to wait idle for a better job that's not forth coming at the moment.
Even with the little job he can also add a side hustle to it based on whatever skill he might possess and this would could cover lots of ground for him before he knows it.

I had a stable job where I earned enough for my family before while having side hustle at home through online jobs. Unfortunately, the company that I have been working with was hardly affected by the pandemic so I have no choice but to stay home and look for better opportunities during the lockdown. I'm glad that my side hustles have saved me during the pandemic crisis. From that experience, I have learned that it is important to have a good source of income and as much as possible and as long as we are capable, we should still find other ways to earn and make money because we still don't know what will tomorrow may bring.

Two things you can do if you have the opportunity. People will take this income in large amounts and they will also work on small amounts to continue to grow from two sides at once. I also do similar things if both of those I can do but I don't have a good job nor do I have the capital or big money to invest in it.

I worked 3 jobs at one stage to keep the pots cooking, this build my CV and I was able to get better jobs with benefits and I had spare money to pay for more studies and investments in Crypto.

This sound like a good idea with the building of your work and experience portfolio because many employers out there would require and prefer to recruit that person with added advantage whether in work experience or skill. Therefore seating at home and picky will not add those additional value and make the curriculum vitae more interesting. Although some jobs are really not worth it but if you consider the other advantage that it will give you may choose to do the job for a short while and then find another or learn a skill. Trading crypto can be learned and that will be a real advantage.

My friend was not willing to take any of them because he has a family to feed and his wife's condition is unstable which could need a lot of money for surgery at any time. I understand him and am trying my best to help him find a high-pay job.

My friend's story sends me a signal: no matter how much I earn right now, try to keep my job and souce of income stable. I am also a family man and have responsibilities. Anything bad can also happen to me so I have to be prepared to the unforseen problems, although I am doing fine now. Make hay while the sun shines. If you have any advice for my friend, please let me know. Thank you.
If your friend is not expecting any high pay job from anywhere or any body it will be better for him to accept any available job that comes his way because it is better to have source of income than having nothing,  he should pick the available one and wait for the bigger. In life you have to start somewhere and wait for bigger opportunities around the corner.  It doesn't make sense not to accept a job because of the small pay and their is no hope for anyone coming immediately.

We can say that having a good and reliable source of income makes you not feel any worries and could live peacefully without thinking about where to get money for daily expenses. It was a responsibility not just for the man but also for the woman who wants to have comfortable life to give to the family. The more care about the future, the more we are eager to work hard and earn more money because in this time, we can't rely on others to help us but rather make our own way to survive.

Well $1000/week is something else actually depending on where you live and it is not just on how you manage it. Here in the Philippines, that is indeed a lot, but consider on where you currently reside. In provincial area, surely all your relatives would beg you for money for that amount like you hit the lottery every week while in city areas, you could be living either in a little bit of luxury or just doing "enough".

Cost of living is a major factor at these situations especially when we're talking about whether that is local or international.
Indeed, sometimes the greater the income we get, the greater our expenses will be. However, if we stick to it, we will not find savings, because surely this is always embedded in our minds.
As I said before, sometimes we are always complacent with our big income. Yes, we don't think about and don't care about what happens in the next week because we feel we will produce the same amount as this week. We must get rid of this, because it will have a bad influence on our financial life.

In time of desperation, there's no place for being picky on what kind of job to accept. Your friend needs a job but don't like low paying if it's the only available? He should accept any decent job just to earn because he's badly in need. Then, he can try to find ways to maximize his earnings by having a side job. He don't have source of income because it's also his choice, remember the saying if there's a will, there's a way? This is one of the reason why we should not too confident of what we current have now because we'll never know what tomorrow brings. That's why we must be prepared incase similar situation happened to us.

Personal take on that matter, if you are into a despecrate position and there's no other option, taking the job and adjust with the salary that you might get is far better than nothing at all, maybe it's depend on how a certain individual take his decision making and how he can manage to survive with no option to take.

If there's opportunities then grabbing it will be his next target but whatever things is available as long as it's decent and there's nothing wrong with the management, taking it and be contented will give you something in your table.
