This is also one of the impact of the inflation we are having and high level of poverty increasing daily, the family is in a big time finding it difficult especially in meeting up with the family needs, i also blame some family for relenting only on the husband fir sustainability, what if anything tragic happens, they family or both parents were expected to have something doing that could help the family rely in difficult situations whereby things were becoming unaffordable, the other partner will help in assisting to cover that up using out of their own income, it's because things were expensive that makes it difficult for the family to cope with the influence of inflation in running the family needs.
Yes, broadly speaking, talking about price increases is the impact of abnormal inflation so spending increases significantly even though they only make the same purchases as the days before inflation occurred.
The unpreparedness of every family, especially those at the middle to lower level, with the very high rising prices of various daily needs and stagnant income, so that they experience difficulties in meeting their needs.
I see that this is reality that the cost of running the family house hold daily, weekly, monthly and yearly has increased. From different people that have complained and including friends, it is getting so much of frustration to taking good care of the family to live fine because inflation and no job. To buy basic need in the house not easy. A friend that have add a new born to his home complaining of buying diaper, provisions for the new child as expensive in addition to the expenses to take care of the other children. The situation of bringing up the family is not easy and I think one way to helping ourselves not to add more financial burden is by reducing the number of children we give birth to. This can help.
This friend of mine now complain so much because of the new child adding to his family. If we reduce the child bearing to the amount we can take care , it will reduce the heat we are feeling from the bad economy experience.
There is such a thing as planning. It concerns both financial planning (income, expenses, loan repayment, etc.) and family planning. There is nothing inadequate here, but family planning is also an important point. If a friend decides to have a child / another child, he must understand that a child is both time consuming and possible difficulties (wife's pregnancy, childbirth, medicine, diapers, food, ....) as well as additional costs. No, you can, of course, lie down and not think about the fate of your children, and there are such people. But it doesn't make sense...
All of this is again correlated with the level of education or knowledge in every level of society, government policies in the economic field, and employment income, which are supporting factors in meeting family needs. We have to be farsighted if we want to live as a family as you say (any form of financing to take care of children & more) in the future.
A disaster family is very important for a family to run, but even a family that already has a financial plan will find it difficult to deal with high price increases like now.
