Topic: Take control over your economy (Read 172 times)

Living into this world and on the place on where your feet is standing will never be fair and equal on which there would really be those factors that really that being main difference and that makes that opportunities that its citizens will really be able to benefit out. For you to at least made your life way more better despite of these lacking then there are other things on which you can be able to deal on with to make yourself that at least be able to sustain and survive even of having that kind of lacking of opportunities because of those known factors. Yes its hard but its not impossible that you can make up some changes into the things that you are really that dealing into. Economic conditions will be definitely be giving out some effect but there are still various ways that you can be able to make yourself that more better.

Just dont make yourself that easily give up despite of those lacking of opportunities and thrive out as much as you could so that you will be able to survive yourself into this aspect. When we are really that sometimes on tough challenges there were people who do easily just that simply give up and there are ones who do are really that thrive and able to survive at least into the situation that they are really that into. It will really be just that basing up into your own preference and handling up things accordingly.

Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Even if a person develops and specializes in a certain field, if there are few job opportunities and/or low salaries in that sector in the country where they live, they cannot improve their economy. In some countries, people may be forced to work in jobs outside their field of specialization. There are places where half of the country earns minimum wage. The fact that this minimum wage is below the hunger limit is a more serious situation. So what you say is not valid for every country. How can people who can't even earn enough money to survive save and invest?

We can take over our personal economy but we can't take control of the entire thing. Usually, we think that we can change everything that we are out of control but that's the reality, we can't. And that's why instead of changing the bigger thing, start with ourselves and change what's for the better. Because that's not how it is going to be when we'll deal with the hardship of the current state of the economies that we're facing. It's not that how it goes.

that is not easy and even if you manage to get a hold of your economic situation if you are living in a struggling country you won’t ever be richer or have the same privileges as a middle class citizen from a first world country that is how unfair the world is

even if you end up working hard and being the richest in your country there’s still some things you won’t ever get just because it’s simply not available in your country

I agree with you on this that the government doing will determine how many opportunities the citizens will receive if they create opportunities, so will the citizens receive them, and if they also create programs to train them. 
 
But in some cases, some citizens can create their own opportunities by themselves using the available resources they have at hand by learning their own skills, opening their own doors, and employing others to train them and create enough opportunities for their fellow citizens. In my area, the highest employers of labour are private entities that established themselves and offered a helping hand to others.

Acquiring skills can be helpful individually but it has nothing to do with the economy growth rather not even sure people with marketable skills feed fine now showing how bad the situation has gotten. I’m sure after earning they still go outside to buy food stuffs, settle essential needs definitely the price will not serve right as expected due to inflation, poor structural plans and all this is as a result of bad government. The wealthy ones can always fit into such expensive lifestyle yet in a situation when the poor also exit the government needs to interval first else no amount of money can sustain an individual, firstly the government should start with a good education system also multiplying a good source for cash flow for example, if the country depends only on one source (mono-economy) it’s better they apply more.

Somethings are very easy to say, like taking charge of your economic situation in a difficult country. The economic situation is so difficult in some countries that before they are able to take charge, the situation transforms into something more terrible.

Acquiring a really good skill still requires some amount of money, which may not be available to everyone in need of the skill, so again, It is easier said than done.

In addition, figuring out the right problem to solve for people boosts the value of skill learning. For instance, some streets or neighborhood lack eateries or restaurants, which compels young people - bachelors to go to far places just to eat. Starting out a cooking business in that street would resolve the problem, and benefit the skilled cook who brought the change. Not every talent is saturated, the world population is great and anybody could change their economy by fixing a trouble that bothers occupants of a specific environment.

In life, not everyone is given problems like you, and is able to solve problems like you and vice versa, you are not necessarily able to face the problems experienced by others. Enjoy every complicated process (no matter how bad the country's economy is, only you are able to create or change your economy for the better).

Successful people in terms of economy are born because they work hard, are disciplined, and consistent. Don't get hung up on external problems in this case relying on the government, but focus on improving your own skills. Although it is undeniable that the government will also influence our economy to some extent with the policies it makes. So taking over control of the economy is something we must do, those who are privileged or spoiled will not be able to overtake those who work harder, are more persistent, and do not give up easily in doing something.

I am saying that a person can look into starting a rehabilitation center that caters for the most common types of addiction. These are addictions are going to become a public health concern very soon because the burden of it will be so great that even our health care facilities will be unable to manage them. In the past, we barely hear about kidney failures in young people but now, a person of 31 will be diagnosed with kidney failure and will be soliciting for funds for a new kidney or dialysis.

This is how it usually works in a poor country where there is no equal opportunity. Butt a poor man only needs a simple opportunity to learn a bit of what wealthy men do to make money and with a bit of courage he can do just whatever wealthy men do and maybe even better as long as there is motivation.

With inspiration that motivates the person, they will work all the way up from the bottom just like the Pursuit of Happyness.

This is a problem that must be faced in general and it must be like that. Although all of that is still the responsibility of the government, we should not expect too much from government assistance that is sometimes not on target and the best thing is to develop or create skills that can be relied on to make money or as additional income so that our economy and needs are still met.

And it is indeed not as easy as it is said, but having an independent nature and being willing to try and work hard is a very good thing and also shows a responsible soul because we love our families very much and do not want our families to suffer which makes us continue to try to make them happy and continue to provide for them in a good way without having to depend on anyone and complain because it will not be able to change the situation.

I don’t think everybody has the same opportunity. Wealth is generational. If you have dirt poor parents, you’ll probably die poor also. I say “probably” because some people win against all the odds but the majority ain’t that lucky or smart.

If you have rich parents, those parents probably have a solid network of friends also and just like that you are 5 steps or 10 steps ahead of every other poor soul.

While the other guys trying to figure out how to start a business (and most of them will prefer to be wage-slaves no matter what happens), you’ll learn the business basics in your parents’ company.

It sounds simple but is it really as easy as you think? If it is that simple then do you have any solutions for people in Africa or the Middle East? Areas without even electricity or internet, areas where people lack education...people who are having a very difficult life because of the greed and stupidity of the government. What do they need to do to be able to look beyond the government, and escape the grip of the government and not need the government to provide jobs but still have jobs and income?

Honestly, I have yet to see a country where people can become rich or have a good life without government intervention. I am not defending the government but clearly we cannot deny their role and impact on our economy as well as the national economy.

everyone cannot be uploading videos on the internet, and it is not everyone that has the ability of surviving in the digital space. we know that the digital world is very waste and allows everyone that is capable of earning through it to earn, but we are still dealing with the greater population of people that are in the poor region of the world lacking access to the internet and even smart phones and a lot of them affected by the digital divide that is a serious concern for some part of the world. what do you expect of them if they are of the region that is still struggling economically.

self-development is good and certainly helps one overcome some of the general problem a lot of people are facing but still, we have to always consider that not everyone has that capacity to develop himself enough to help him overcome the bad economy that they are facing. some are even struggling to the point that they are eating from hand to the mouth. how do you expect them to upskill in that condition when they cannot even boost of three-square meal?

the government ought to be responsible enough to take care of the economy and not wait for the citizen to become helpless to the point of solving all their problems by themselves even when from the resource the region possesses, the citizens ought to be leaving above an average lifestyle.

Since people are addicted to their phones, alcohol, drugs and game are you saying we should produce more alcohol and hard drugs?. If it is for gaming that sounds good and will require lots of creative thinking to develop a game someone will wants to play. But I sincerely wish our young minds will go back to the days where patience to learn and develop a good skill was of topmost priority but that's not the case today because there is a template for virtually everything now.

I mean the only skill required in our modern world is the skill to understand how to edit and modify a template to suit the need of the final consumer which has killed yue spirit of creativity and has promoted laziness to its highest magnitude

What if all the skills you can learn and your country don't give a damn that you have to look for opportunities in other countries and they give some damn and you go there, work for them, and solve their problems? That's how developed countries are still developed and being more progressive while the developing countries are still finding ways to look more poor. I don't blame anyone here like the government or citizens.

Although I do agree with you that by providing our skills to them we can at least make money and that is all we need to make a good living in our country but that way our country's economy is not going to improve.

I agree with your thinking, the national economy depends on the government and our lives also depend largely on the government. If we are unfortunate enough to live in a country with a dictatorial, corrupt government...we will also find it difficult to avoid a life of poverty no matter how highly educated or qualified we are.

Some people are getting jobs and income from online, they think they are good enough and don't need government but they don't know that not everyone has the same opportunity as them. Or not everyone is suited for online work. Not to mention, they don't come from countries with double digit inflation or worse countries at war, they will see the importance of government to our economy.


I wonder if these people ever wonder what they would do if their current online job disappeared? I guess many people are not prepared and ready for that. If that happens, they will turn around and criticize the government and will realize how important the government is to their economy and country.

Let me paint a picture for you.

A girl lives in a developing country with bad economy. After graduation from the university she couldn't land a job because the few ones available have been taken up by people who have highly connected uncles or aunties. So, she learnt how to make dress and initially it was as if everything was working fine for her, because she could feed herself and pay her bills. After sometime her business begins to crumble, the government new policies has taken the cost of living to a very high side. To cope with reality, companies begin to fold or downsize their workforce and this further increase the rate of unemployment. Now, she has little or no customers to patronize her business because people prefer to use the little money they've to put food on their table rather than make a fine dress.

So let me ask you, has the skill increase the quality of her life?

There's nothing wrong in getting a skill but when your economy is bad, it is bad and even with your skill, you may still find it difficult to get a quality life.

There is always a need. In our environment there is always a need. Our task is to find the need and fill it. It is like selling shovels during the gold rush. It takes many years to build a skill and our world has become very materialistic now that nobody wants the long haul, we want it immediately. Look at your environment, there are more people addicted to drugs, alcohol, gambling , mobile devices than there used to be, you can take advantage of this and look for a solution that will be beneficial to them and in turn to you economically.
