Currently, I am trying to stabilize my family's financial situation. To achieve this, I improve my knowledge and skills, which will help me in making profitable investments. Apart from that, I am focusing on increasing my creativity, with the aim of building my own business so that I am not too dependent on the job I am currently doing.
do remember that it is yourself who will truly help you in your situation. the government may have plans for its people, but for your day to day survival, it is yourself that will find ways how to provide for your basic needs.
hence, one should always find contingencies on how to augment his needs. you can't rely from anyone on this. just few examples, sell gadgets or anything that you think you don't need anymore, tend your own small garden, be frugal with your expenses and so on. and as you mentioned as well, improve your knowledge and skills, you may find alternative jobs if you equip yourself with additional skills.
