Well, people in your area are just being wise. If there's no need to buy for some things that they want, they won't buy it. They'll just buy the necessities and needs.
There's no sense of going outside to the malls if they don't have any important matter to do and to buy. This pandemic has taught me to be wiser and just buy more food than those things and stuff that I really like to have.

Romania is my country
Inflation is on the rise, money printing goes brrrrr as usual, sooner or later the salaries will have to rise to keep up.
Indeed, now some people may have less money to invest. Some others may be even struggling to buy the basics.
This is more visible in the poorer countries, obviously. Also in the countries with better long term thinking the problem is not so big.
I want to tell that even in Romania the problems may get way bigger (much higher prices and still the old incomes) in the near future. You said that in other countries there may be delay.. we are far from the "top of the wave" yet. And luckily the winter was not too harsh.

Interestingly all the selling businesses get richer, most rich people got richer, only the poorer one feel this. But this is how inflation works. This gap between the rise of prices and rise of wages is where people are stolen from. And yes, those who have put away fiat "for hard times" see its value dimming.
----
After the Russian mess clears out (but it may take years) and the gas pipes either start getting filled, either US and Arabia fill the gap, the price rise will stop. In some cases it may be even reverted to lower/more bearable prices. But again, it may take years.

If in your country face Omicron attack, then people should still limit their time in a public area and better stay at home because the spreads are still dangerous. But if your country does not face Omicron, the people activity slowly becomes normal and they can go out to public area but still use social distancing. I do not know if people are out of their money because that depends on managing our money. But in a developing country, yes, they are out of money plus they are weak from the Covid-19 attack.

Nope, not really? There have been complaints about the gradual price increase of some products here and there, but not to the point that people will not buy them. It's like complaining for 5 seconds before accepting that things would still happen nonetheless, so they just go with it. I haven't even experienced a point where groceries and the like limited the amount that they'd sell, at least in the past year (start of Covid it happened afaik). Might just be limited in your place?
It depends on your country actually as other contributors have said and not only that, it may also depend on you. Maybe you have not observed very well and you are thinking that is the situation or it may be you have run out of liquidity and thinking others have too. But maybe it is just what you noticed at a particular moment that you observed and thinking that is what is happening. If it is just for few hours or some days may not mean your country has gone bankrupt. Or is there war in your country ?
Given that things are very difficult and standard of living is falling in our eyes in almost all countries but I'm yet to see what will cause buying and selling to stop if not war.

It is a subjective feeling that does not serve to draw any conclusions statistically. I for one have not noticed much. Yes, people are complaining about price increases, but not to the point of running out of liquidity.
Although the OP could be smelling the beginning of what is coming: when rate hikes are announced, and even some banks have already raised them, like the BoE, and stock markets go down, the rest of the economy suffers: banks start to lend less, and people start to have less liquidity, as their assets are worth less and banks also lend less to them.
Not to the point of being out of liquidity but we may be at the beginning of a downward trend.

The likes of Amazon, Apple, and Sea Limited(Shopee, Lazada competitor; pretty much Asia's eBay+Amazon) had record breaking revenues in their 2021 Q4 reports. I'm pretty sure certain select cities/countries are definitely having their challenges, but I don't think it's the case when talking global-wise.
It's very bitter bro, liquidity in everyday life you mean? the supply of cash which may be less and according to every demand/economic activity whether buying and selling anything in my area, makes the money I hold has no value/slightly reduced from the exchange power. Did you just feel when the pandemic came or since when?
My country is disappearing so quickly. But in the form of investment it may look profitable. Do you like investing or do you prefer to use money/assets for shopping?

What country are you in?
In my area it’s business as usual. Gas stations are just as busy with record high price of gasoline. Malls and restaurants also busy.
The stock market however? I frequent wallstreetbets and it looks like the last 6 months cleaned out many traders. The activity there is slower than usual. Pointing to retail market getting wiped out with all these bad earnings .

Romania is my country ...i suspect delay in yours ,energy prices reduced a lot money in people pockets this year.
You're in a country near where the tension of war is, I guess people are warned and perhaps not buying unnecessary things today but the basic needs. Maybe the people are just cautious and save money for now. You are near the pipelines right? Is gas a problem in your country?
The crypto market isn't out of liquidity though, the price went up overnight from $37K to $41K. Volume and the spike are certainly not a confirmation of what you are saying.
On basic products like vegetable oil / flour / sugar etc they set a limit that you can buy ( ration ) ...and we are one of Europe's biggest agro exporters,can't understand why people are not spending ... we are not that scared of Russia - Ukraine tensions . we are NATO country ,if Putin invades Romania we are all dead no matter what country you are ,nukes etc ...
