But doesnt mean that you shouldnt pursue on getting a degree, it would really be still that sensible on getting one because having a degree or certificate or whatsover that it is really that correlated to this would really be that necessary or something that would really be that needed for you to at least having the chance or potential on getting some work or job and also when it comes to awareness of things or learnings then you would really be having that kind of advantage which is something that you would really be having compared to those who didnt touch up a school or having the education. We are living on a world on which
you wouldn't really be able to survive if you cant be able to gain or make some income because we know that everything on this world does come with its price. Buying your own food, shelter, clothing and other
services does really have that a value or cost on which means that if you do lack up or having no money? Then for sure you're fucked up. This is why on the time that you do realize that you are really that
you are gradually struggling on day to day living due to expenses and inevitable inflation then it would be common sense that you should really be needing to find for another source of income
so that it would be able to ease up such challenge but of course it wont really be that easy.

Quiet indeed, in our country where the salary of white collar job is not sustainable for a family or it is always just enough without any little Change this inflation really makes us to live a harder life in our country, our country cost of living gets higher and higher government doesn't have a concrete plan for this they just always lend to other country that's why our taxes getting bigger just for this country to pay them. Cost of living in your own country really gives you  hard time and think to have more jobs to get sufficient amount of money.

The depressing truth of life that many people failed to understand. it is no longer your degree certificate that will forth in your bills but the skills you have at hand will do that.

The world we live in is changing and its population is on the rise also. The world economy is no longer a level playing ground for degree holders to easily survive without backing it up with a side hustle.

To survive in this competitive labor market, you need to have a different source of income(not completely dependent on one)

Not only in the country where you live, but several countries including the country where I live are also affected by inflation. What I felt was the beginning of the severity of this economy when the corona virus (covid19) outbreak entered my country, in mid-March 2020. In the early days, work was still going smoothly as usual. But after a few months, many workers were laid off, and I was also affected and that's where I started to feel the impact of inflation which was more pronounced.

At that time, the government in my country also carried out various methods so that the people could be safer and protected from what is called an economic crisis. By providing assistance every month, in the form of groceries and a little money. But all that still can't cover their daily needs, in fact it's very lacking. Because staying at home, you definitely need quite a lot of money.

So at that time the government really couldn't do much for the people, and even now inflation is still very high, but with the end of the Covid 19 outbreak, it became easier, because jobs have been reopened.

And most importantly when the economic situation is in a bit of a crisis or experiencing inflation, you have to be able to manage finances better, and be able to maximize all abilities, so you can generate coffers of money. Because at this time, whatever ability you have, it must be used properly and optimally. Because the competition in life will definitely get tougher in the future.

Ordinary people now seem to be living a life of war. Because the per capita income of people is gradually decreasing but the prices of various goods are increasing a lot. Two years ago the price of a thing which was 1$ now has increased to more than 1.5$ but the government is not thinking about it. Can government officials live the way they used to live now? Now people have to think more than once if they want to buy something because the amount of salary they are getting every month shows that at the end of the month they are having a lot of trouble. If the prices of various commodities continue like this then one day many people will die of starvation.

I don't know which country you live in. But it seems that inflation in your country is still quite high if you hear your story that it seems that price increases are still moving quite fast. And I hope your economic condition remains fine. And yeah right we just have to focus on keeping working and earning more. And about fortune then God has arranged it for us. we just have to try our best.

In the country where I work, the economy is really starting to recover quickly. because price increases are not too frequent. Even some basic commodity prices have decreased. So that I become more comfortable living here. Because I can still set aside my money to invest and send it to my distant family to help my family's economy.

Inflation will frustrate the living hell out of you if it's too high, even when you receive heavy pay check and inflation is everywhere, nobody will be left out even with your high paying job. When you receive your salary every month, there wouldn't be money left for investment and savings because food items will consume everything you have, let's assume you are even single, there are other miscellaneous items you will buy, there will be bills to sort out, you will pay money for wardrobe as well, no way you can manage life with high cost of things no to talk of people that are poor.

Inflation is deadly, it's the government responsibility to checkmate it in other for the citizens to enjoy what they earn, even the government will enjoy taxing it's people when inflation is well taken care but in a condition where people find it difficult to feed, they wouldn't want to pay the government when it's due.

I hope too, but as of the moment, what we can do is find another source of income so that we can cope with this inflation because if we don't, we will still keep struggling in this world. That is why others are sacrificing their time and sleep so that they can cater to another job because right now one job is not enough unless you have a ton of salary. That is why others find side hustles to cope with the prices.

Things change all the time and economic growth forces many people to look for loopholes to cover the increasingly high cost of living. The economic crisis, salary imbalance and rising basic prices are a big problem for some people today, what can be done when such a life continues to worsen conditions and those in authority do not try to solve the problem. One cannot rely on other people or institutions to solve problems and there is no point in continuing to blame them.

Do something to find a solution to this problem and try to live by a much more frugal standard and not spend money on things you don't need. If it's not ourselves trying to find a solution then hoping someone else will solve the problem is pointless and time doesn't wait for us to find a solution because it will keep going.

Mate, this isn't just a problem in your country; it's also a problem in mine. Prices are just going up every day, making it impossible to buy something today and expect to pay the same price tomorrow. I've come to the realization that as we get older in this world, the problems only get worse. You can't compare young to adulthood at this point, when the economy is always in bad shape with high prices for goods, but that shouldn't matter much. Keep up the good work. God will undoubtedly provide for us.

I agree, whether the economy seems to be good and back but the prices of the commodities and usual goods that we consume won't be back to its former price.

These merchants, businessmen, suppliers and producers won't be in favor of that. Since the price that has increased, people will just get used to it and that's why the solution is to make more money.

But I'm still hopeful even if the chance is like 0.1% of seeing it back.

When the middle class and some well off people are complaining and they're also not exempted on these high cost of living, there's the visibility of the problem.

And if they're struggling, how much more those that are below their lines and status of living.

well in the end it all depends on how we live our daily lives. Do choose to live simply and buy only what is necessary and avoid any unnecessary purchases. or instead choose to live in luxury and always prioritize a style that follows trends which in the end will indeed burden his personal life. And yes, if we want to survive even in a state of high inflation in a country. then choosing to live simply is the most reasonable and wise.

I believe that this issue that is delighted upon is more problematic in some countries than it is in other countries because, even though the inflation rate is very high in most countries, in other countries, at least most things have not yet been heavily inflated. Also, in the first world country, where some employers pay their staff daily depending on the kind of job they are doing, the employee has the privilege of doing three or four jobs at a time hourly and receiving payment every day, which could at least help them to cover the fees for their needs, but in the third world country, it's not like that; you work for 26 days in a month excluding Sundays, then you receive a very poor payment that cannot even cover half of your needs for that month, I believe that's why OP said cost of living is Killing the living.

You shouldn't really be limiting out yourself on this kind of pace on which you would sole relying with your day job on paying up your bills and depending your life according into it.Well, there's no other choice but

we could really be having other options on which we could really still be able to engage on, on which we could really be able to find other sources on which we could really potentially make more income.
Dont limit yourself on one source because the more the better and we know that living on this world does have lots of factors affecting us on which inflation and economic problems are really on the way, which means that if you are really just that simply relying on your dayjob paycheck the there would really be coming a time that those earnings wont really be that sufficient.

Cost of living is never been getting that cheaper but rather the opposite. We should just accept that reality and instead on making yourself idle then it would be wise on finding up other
ways or methods on which you could really save up yourself on such condition specially in hardship on having money or stable finances.

We can always chose to live simply even if inflation is here for good. As long as you have your own job to support and pay your monthly bills, then rest assured that you will still survive despite of the goods and services prices that continue to surge. But if you live life according to the norms and trends in your surroundings, then expect that your finances will never be enough. The cost of living will certainly kill you in the end.

The global economy is broken at this moment and suffering a lot. So I guess that's the condition all around the world. In my country, the story is the same. I am not with the government nor against it. Because if inflation happens in one part of the world, it will have effect all over the world. Import and export is the key behind it. Some important stuffs you need for day to day living could only be achieved from importing. When you import them from a country which is facing inflation, the price start to vary.
But when you are already facing inflation, the government plays a key role on how people will be able to fight against it. Proper working environment, business or job opportunity and other things needs to be provided to people in order to improve their life. This is where the government is needed, but it also needs the people to give their hands in order to help the government. If both party agrees and take the steps require for that, they this issue could be solved. Inflation is a thing which will happen time to time. So we should prepare for it beforehand.

Unfortunately, we see and experience that the quality of life is decreasing day by day due to inflation. All of the savings or minimalized living measures you mentioned are necessary for you to continue your daily life but as I see from your comment, you have to make decisions that will lower your quality of life in order to reduce these costs. What you have mentioned here is actually reducing your costs by continuing your life in a more simplified way instead of being crushed under the living costs. The main reason for this is the rising cost of living which prevents you from living properly. Constantly rising living costs push households to either live at lower cost or suffer under rising costs.

This sounds funny though but in the real sense, it is the reality. According to your speculations,  the world is going through economic recession, the rate of inflation is getting out of hand and the economic meltdown is beginning to dawn on nation's and their nationals.
No work, no employment, no nothing to show for but you will have many things to think of but no way to fix them up because  of the  constriant. .

How does the average human survive at this point in time when things are just this ways.

Truly, the cost of living is trying to kill the living

I am seeing those couples that have a lot of children and looking at some background of their lives, they're not even having a stable source of income. But despite that, they're still able to survive thanks to their own strategic and gumptious way of living.

This is a sad reality for some or should I say many countries. Those that has high corruption index are not really for the welfare of their people but only for the welfare of the politicians pockets.

The public facilities provided by the government are also only limited to supporting everyone's life because it is true as you said that everyone is always fully responsible for himself if he wants to develop and be successful in life, so he chooses to continue working without feeling being lazy or bored is something that is more appropriate and wise enough for everyone to do. And I also don't stop working after praying in the morning before starting my usual activities.
