Stop complaining about difficult economy, if you have always think the economy is hard you will be managing the little money you have , and you would think it is too difficult for you to invest in something because the economy hard. No matter how the economy may seems so difficult people are still spending money to purchase what they are in need of. Hard economy don't stop people from purchasing what they want, people are spending money everyday. In this hard economy think of what you can buy and sell that people can't do without, this is how to roll when economy seems to be difficult. Hard economy don't stop people from spending money, if you go to the market you will see many people selling and buying. Hard economy doesn't make the market to be scanty or go for break.
Economy is hard. Maybe you are from a rich family and that's why you don't feel the harsh side effects of current economy but believe me, it's hard for those who come from poor families but I'd admit and say that there aren't as many poor people as many claim. I know many people who claim to be poor but spend every weekend in the restaurant and have flagship smartphones in their hands.
Every person's condition is definitely different, to be clear, we need to try to produce something that we are looking for, and sometimes something where the effort is difficult, there we will complain but we must quickly change with the spirit to try to live it, and age factors are not an obstacle to changing economic conditions for the better as long as we are still given health.
Age is indeed not a barrier for those who still have creative ideas in developing their own business and who still have the fighting spirit in achieving the targets they want in life. But when someone is too old, they will also get tired easily and forget even though their work itself relies more on their brain than their muscles. So that the age factor can also be a differentiator in anything because it is related to each person apart from several other conditions that may also be an influence in achieving a target that has not been obtained in this life.
Age is a barrier. When I was still in my teen ages, I knew graphics design very well, I even got an offer from a local TV to start work as a designer after they saw my work but since I was a kid, they couldn't legally employ me. I still couldn't find a good job when I became an adult because I was 18, 19, 20 and people in my region don't take men of this age seriously.
Btw in a late age, it's hard to work because the body doesn't function as well as at young ages, so we should prioritize our 30s and 40s, this is the time when we are at our prime, mentally and physically.
