Like it or not, that's what has to be done because living in the capital city definitely has high necessities of life,
it can not be avoided and probably the whole world is the same,
the need to have more than one source of income that way seems to help.
I would not assume that the whole world would be the same, because the size of a capital city is never the same all over the world and that can also be a trigger for the size of spending for daily needs. And don't get me wrong either, that the salary for work in the capital city is usually higher than in other places, so this can also be a balance for those who live in the capital city. Although everyone still has to outsmart him better so that it isn't always difficult to live life in the capital city.

at least your friends already have a steady income every month. there are still many people who are under your friends in meeting their needs. therefore we must be able to survive in any condition by looking for additional income in order to make ends meet. and of course humans need not only to eat, let alone live in a big city, I think refereshing can also be a basic need considering the penantnya contents of the head because of daily activities, don't let us be economical but don't pay attention to ourselves, because if we get sick we will bear it ourselves
The deficiencies that often occur in the capital city are only about mutual cooperation and mutual assistance between people and also social matters such as those in the villages. In addition, everything is almost the same and also not much different from what is in the villages, because every time we spend money for those needs there must always be consideration from each of us. Except for someone whose needs are very different from most other people, so things like this do not only depend on the place, but also on ourselves in managing every expense.

I remember when I passed my driving test 18 years ago, the price per litre of fuel was like 40% cheaper than it is now. House prices continue to rise ridiculously. I don’t see how it can all continue, something is going break & I think it will be the USD as reserve currency. Inflation is running wild, the whole world is screwed. This is why we are here though, bitcoin is here, ready to save us.
I also remember the same thing a few years ago when fuel prices were half as cheap as they are now. And even though inflation is stated to have fallen, it is strange that fuel prices are no longer decreasing. the point is when fuel goes up then they never lower it back down. then automatically makes the price of all things go up. because transportation costs, culinary and food staples all use fuel in their processing. so that everything continues to rise because the fuel also rises. Well investing in bitcoin is expected to keep us from inflation.

The current crisis is said to show signs of cooling off, but depreciating currencies over time is not new and is almost impossible to prevent. Because there are many factors that cause inflation, plus the weak management of the state, causing prices to increase day by day. I believe that at some point, the current monetary system will collapse, and the world economy will reset everything. So we must prepare for that by investing in deflationary assets like gold and bitcoin. If we don't prepare from now on, we will most likely be eliminated when that happens.
So that's what we should prepare for. We have to be prepared when something unexpected can happen to the global economic order which causes all countries to experience further crises in the economy. Real Estate and Bitcoin both have become the current trend for investment advice. and for assets that are inflation-resistant and able to maintain value, gold is a favorite of many people. Many people have said the same about this. but I'm sure in reality not everyone can do the preparation properly. because everyone's condition is always different. But I hope we can all prepare everything carefully.

Things don't just get worse for a country out of nowhere, it's very sad to see countries that have their own resources and yet their people are suffering, the problem is like an apple that was once fresh and slowing starts to rotten, if you look onto the past of such tough countries you will see that there are cases of greedy leaders that have used a lot of money to deceive their people and rob them back in hundred folds, now it's left for the people to find a way to survive with or without the government.

If people are leaving a country for another country, there is a 99% chances that the leaders of that country they are coming from are greedy bastards that only cares about their own stomachs and families.

You are the master of your own life, do not let the greed of another man block your future, find means to make money, learn something new, be creative and see how you will have a better future.

While growing up things were quite easy, an I also know that life was also easy for the common man, not until 2018 that things start changing for the worst, from then till now the rate at which inflation have struck my country to an all time high is so alarming.
  Everyday price of things keeps on changing but the salaries of a civil servants still remain the same, the money that we use too feed from, buy water, pay rent, pay for light an even save from, now it can't even service our monthly needs for even half of the month.
 Most times I feel for people that have many children because too get basic needs in today's economy is very difficult,
  the annoying part is that the government an it agencies are doing nothing or less about the cost control of goods and services in the state.
An this has created a torn in the lives of many as situations keeps on getting worse by the day.
Am wondering if it's same experience in other part of the world.

i have a friend that he is in the same situation, his earning from civil servants is low more over he live in the capital of the country which means the price of basic needs is higher than price of needs in the local regency. So what he do is manage their financial such as control the expense and do the side job for more income.
Like it or not, that's what has to be done because living in the capital city definitely has high necessities of life,

Yes, there are big differences when living inside city state compared to rural or provinces, if you are inside city then the need of higher salaries is what you need to make sure that you will be able to survive, a need of having multi sources of income or high-paying job will allow you to sustain your needs. Though if you are into provinces,

it might have big differences and in somehow you can live a life with fresh goods foods that you can harvest from your own land.

The market will always want to test inefficiency and destroy any who benefit from it, that's the only possible positive take from seeing people being squeezed on costs and I know people will get angry possibly about me saying that higher costs serve some purpose in a market economy but some for example who are buying out prepacked food will be forced to go to a cheaper route and that's not unfamiliar actually I think that's normal.
      We really dont  us pushed all the way back into becoming an agrarian economy again, Im not arguing in this extreme which would be failure more then alteration but trimming back excess is correct to do.   However quite a few people should be saving money by making their own meals, in theory its simple but also involves skill and effort etc. you store ingredients more rather then relying on a supply chain.  I could argue transport of raw materials to make cakes is cheaper & more compact then making in a factory and then moving (displaying, retailing etc.) that produce out to people etc.
   Economies of scale should justify alot of the modern production in being cheaper then any one person can make but I find alot of the savings are not passed on so in some cases the way to reduce costs is stop purchasing labor and skill outside of your household and generally do this yourself.  Overall in a country this means a population more able to focus on the premium goods for sale and in demand for export, there is a reason for market prices in forcing people to change their actions that is basically my point.

I buy all valid country Gift cards swiftly.
In the Great Depression of 1929, nobody could afford the cost of things. So, what did people do? They got together and formed their own mini-governments called co-ops. Some of these co-ops are still around today.

What did a co-op do? Everybody in the co-op did what they could to make and supply something that other people needed. If they didn't have a profession, they simply became labor for those who did.

Some people supplied land they owned. Others built buildings on the land. Others tilled the ground. Professional farmers grew all kinds of crops. Everybody worked. They supported themselves.

Is it almost time to form some new co-ops? Co-ops can be made legally stronger these days, because they could be started as Private Membership associations. PMAs have been legally set in place as a sound structure, keeping standard government out.

Cool
I've heard of such co-ops back then but not dated to that far and I believe  one of the reasons why such things were possible  back then was love and i don't think it will be easy or even possible to form such cooperation now a days where brothers kill brothers over same land people gave out back then.

I don't know of other countries so I wouldn't have to speak for them but as for my country, I don't think it will be possible to establish such cooperation now even within ourselves as the principle of having a judas in every gathering  can't be evicted.

Save us on the sense on making involvement but doesnt mean that it would really be giving out assurance.Bitcoin wasnt created on solving out this problem because everything would really be still relying on how

much you had invested. Yes, you do have Bitcoin but how it would be able to save up yourself on such worse inflation? There's no avoiding it and this is why we dont have no choice but to go on and
walk ahead and would be continuing on what are the things that you must do in order for us to survive. Yes,it might be hard but it wouldnt mean that we shouldn't try. This is why
we should really do our very best on finding ways and method and wont really be that able to struggle when it comes to finances.

It is the same throughout the world. The difference in price of fuel have changed drastically. The increasing fuel price directly impacts over each and everything. Inflation have hit hard and to get into better economic situation takes time. USD being the reserve is a reason, another thing it is kind of a cyclic process. For now we're experiencing it. Over time it gets corrected and market turns better.

Tell me about it! The cost of living these days is a real pain. It feels like every expense is out to get us. It's tough to make ends meet with all the rising prices. But hey, we've got to keep pushing forward and find ways to make it work.
Everyone will find their own way of making themselves successful and progressing in their own environment. Because believe that no one wants to survive in trouble even though some people still have to live in difficult conditions because they are forced by the situation. And also no one can deny the expenditure of money that must always be there every day to meet basic needs.

Yes, absolutely. if we don't start from now when again, the value of money will no longer exist. if we spend $ 20 only a few items that can. the winner is always the trader (Merchants bringing in their wares) it's already like this, what else do you want? yes. enjoy and just run as it is.
Enjoying is necessary, but letting things go as they are is the attitude of those who don't want to fight more and will only give up more easily when what they are expecting doesn't come according to what they are. It is also not certain that traders can always benefit from their merchandise as long as their merchandise must always be purchased from other, larger merchants, because the ones who really benefit in such cases are the factories or goods manufacturing companies.

As a Bangladeshi citizen, I can relate to your experience and concerns about the changing economic situation. We are witnessing a massive  inflation, everything  just doubled up in price. But salaries are not adjusted according to the inflation. People are finding it miserable to even live. I think Covid pandemic and Russia-Ukraine war had a massive impact for all these. I hope the situation  of whole world will get better.

But hey, we've got to keep pushing forward and find ways to make it work. Budgeting like a pro, hunting for deals, and maybe even picking up some extra gigs can help us stay afloat. About hunting for deals, I got myself such a cool door for a normal price, oak fire doors that's what I'm talking about. They are very durable and the material is a high-quality one.

I don't think there was ever a time where things were easy for the modern man.  As others have mentioned here in the United States we have gone through two major economic breakdowns in the last 100 years.  That would be both the Great Depression as well as the Great Recession, which was just back in 2008. 

We are going through tough times right now.  There's a lot of work that needs to be done.  It's also to keep in mind not all countries are the same.  Here in the United States jobs often do raise the salary for employees to help keep up with inflation.  Now don't get me wrong, this isn't always the case, but it is in many.

I agree.

However, living right now is just becoming worst than ever, everything changes as we are changing the world as well. People are getting worst too, war is more devastating and create more chaos, more damages are being done because of evolving technology and everything. We're the one who is going to make humanity go extinct, not aliens.

If only we can achieve the true peace, no corrupt politicians, all people are united, then the world could be better, but I guess it will be impossible.


Just imagine if the world had no war and only peace. Those billions of dollars that are being invested in the military would go to other budgets that improve the lives of human beings. You are right; we go instinct just because of our own fault and not by being hit by an asteroids or invaded by aliens. But the sad truth is that people want power, and those big politicians want to be the most powerful people in the world based on military power.
