Those who belong to the middle class will of course be able to easily adapt to every situation they experience, because when the income they earn is difficult to meet their needs, they must be able to restrain themselves by not forcing themselves and must be able to endure what is available.
People who grew up to be rich would definitely have a harder time adjusting if things were to look down in terms of their financial situation. They have never experienced having to save or looking for a cheaper alternative sometimes even forcing ourselves to not buy something we want simply because the money can be used elsewhere preferably somewhere much valuable.
Saving is of course very important, whatever income they have, they must be able to save a little after meeting their needs so that they can save and it will be very difficult to survive in these uncertain economic conditions, so having savings will of course be able to help a little in dealing with conditions. The economy as it is today and the gap between rich and poor will certainly continue to be a problem in society and will be difficult to control if the economy does not improve.
Saving is for emergencies or for lifelong plans. If things were to happen suddenly, you have your saved funds. But when saving you should also have a clear plan for what to do with them. Do you want to build a business with it? Invest it in crypto? In stocks?or maybe you just want to buy a house.
Money is devalued more and more each year so no point in keeping all that money for nothing.
