To make a living, we must work. In uncertain days like now facing the global economic downturn, a stable job with high income becomes a scarcity. A side job or business seems like more necessary than ever, which can minimize the risks of losing your current job, ending up pennyless. However, a side job/business also takes time and efforts and can never be attained whenever we need it. What did you do or will you do in order to ensure your finanical stability despite all unfavorable circumstances ?
I myself always instill positive thoughts for everything, so that the results will be even better, and that also applies to handling my financial system. in times of economic turmoil, of course, everyone is also always thinking about the best solution and way out to get out and survive from a bad economic zone, and everyone has their own way. and each country may have a different settlement, depending on how severe its economic condition is.
and I myself have always applied this method to stabilize my economic situation when inflation hit. I already have a habit when working and economic conditions are normal. I always set aside my salary money every month for an emergency fund, and for business capital, which will definitely be useful in the future. then every time I come home from work I always take a walk to the market or to shopping centers, not just for shopping, but I always pay attention and research how everyone does business, I get a lot of knowledge from walking this afternoon, because every businessman starts from the lower class to the upper class has its own characteristics.
In the evening I always have time before going to bed, thinking about what business is right for me, because even though I am an employee, I don't want to continue being an employee, I also want to have my own business.
and from all the experiences that I have gone through when I was working and the economy was normal, I am practicing it all now, because in my country many companies have laid off employees because of the covid 19 outbreak yesterday, I was also affected by that, and I am now in a situation not working yet. but I have started my first business in several fields, namely in the field of food and clothing. even though my business is still not fully developed, but the income is more than enough for the life of my small family.
that's a bit of the experience that I experienced, from a normal economic situation then it went down and now it's in the process of rising again.
and my message, in essence, if there is an opportunity, don't waste it, use every opportunity to create new things for your future, and don't think too negatively.
