Topic: The economy is not hard (Read 480 times)

That's a point to emphasise because we can't just beat everyone up just because we focus on purchases. Although it cannot be denied that for now there are still many people who sometimes do not care too much about the expenses made and only focus on hedon life or just satisfying their lifestyle even though they are in economic difficulties but that is only a small part of the majority of people who really only think about how to survive and buy only for necessity as a consideration so that they can see tomorrow.

The economy is now very difficult and we cannot close the facts about this as if we are living fine without any problems because in the end, whether we realise it or not, the global economic conditions are now increasingly concerning and as much as possible we must be able to adjust the finances we have with the current conditions.

I disagree. I think the basic theory can be easy, people buy and sell, everyone understands that. But there are thousands of economic concepts that most people don't even know about.
I am just starting to get interested, for a few years now, and yet every day I read and listen to concepts that I find it hard to understand. You have to read and listen, absorb a lot of information.
Not everyone is willing to open their own business, to do a market study or risk their capital in a business that they don't know if it will work. Apart from that there are countries more favorable to open business than others, tax rates, requirements, regulations ...

That's right. Complaining will not change anything in an increasingly difficult economic situation due to the impact of war and so on. Things are getting expensive but we still have to buy them because they are needed, it doesn't mean we can buy this and that because the economy is good but it has to be done to survive.

So complaining is not a solution when the world economy is not doing well. What we need to do is get up immediately, work hard and earn as much income as possible so that we can set aside money to invest, because with investment we can survive in the midst of economic downturn and can also save finances from inflation.

I can understand you, putting aside your complaints and focusing on managing your current money, finding ways to generate better income, and putting aside your complaints and focusing on what you said seems right when you write or say it.
But the truth is very difficult, the economy is extremely broken worldwide and people are having a hard time making ends meet.
Since inflation is high, buying and selling will not stop, when you go out, of course you will see people consuming, even though the economy is bad.

To put it bluntly, no one wants to work for someone else and everyone wants to be their own boss, everyone knows that, but the problem is that starting a business and being your own boss is not easy. That is why most people complain when asked about jobs and income but when you tell them to start their own business, they refuse immediately. Simply because they know that business will probably bring them more risks and difficulties in life.


In my opinion, the economy is really in a bad phase but only for low income or poor people like us, while those with higher incomes, they hardly care about what is going on.

It's not easy to start up a business. With the way the economy’s going now, someone needs a huge amount of money to set up a good business. regardless of how you think the business will be small reach. There are many things someone will need before setting up a business. However, as you said, working under someone will not take someone anywhere. I think that is a kind of different thing. I have seen many people who work under someone and they are making their money. All you need is a good paying company, and you will get money, because to set up a business is not something easy as you are thinking. 


Exactly. Buying what is necessary for us doesn’t mean the economy is good, because those things are something that we must get for ourselves, but the cost of living is what people are suffering from; furthermore, the economy is bad, and there is no way to earn enough money that can sustain the cost of food and other necessary things that we want to buy, but some people are not thinking about that. If not to me, the cost of living is what makes me think the economy is really bad.

What are you trying to prove, by the way? Whatever you say doesn't prove that the economy isn't challenging. Just because people don't stop spending money on things they need doesn't mean times are not burdensome. Will you stop eating food if you are facing financial problems in your life? No, you try to manage in any way you can, so it's the same thing for the people buying and selling. The markets don't stop or go for a break because no matter what, there will always be a need for people to spend money.

Something that you could buy with $1 in the past costs you $5 now due to inflation, but since you need that thing, you will still buy it by spending more money. Now, if you are earning the same amount that you have been earning in the past, this can create problems for you, but you can't do anything because you have to do it. Does that mean economy is not hard for you?

No offense, but your points make no sense at all.

Buying necessities does not mean that we do not have to consider that the economy is not difficult because in the end when we buy then it is purely a need that must be met and we must also be able to classify in this case it does not mean that everyone can buy or waste the money they have for unnecessary needs so in this case we must see that not everyone can have the same economy and because in the end there will clearly be a difference called social strata.

For people who are still at a decent standard of living (middle or upper strata) indeed something like this may not be disturbing but it will be a different story when we talk about the strata below where even though in the end they still spend the money they have but it is a way for them to survive in the harsh economy and life not to waste money on unnecessary things.

I agree with your statement. I think economic conditions can't be same forever because these economic conditions always change. When any country take debt from IMF or by any other foreign country ,it press burden on the common people. Many countries are in debt because their government took money from IMF and from central bank . When any country take loan by IMF or by any other foreign country then IMF control the prices of things in that country and it pushes he government to increase the prices of things and eventually inflatable occurs.Every country has different level of inflation and few countries are free from inflation and they are rich countries because government made plan and executed well.

yeah, the economy that we are in right now isn't good at all and we are not really making a lot of money which means that it impacts all of us. If I do not make any money, then I can't buy from you, and if I don't buy from you then you do not buy from your resource seller and if your resource seller can't sell it to you then they can't pay their bank and if enough of them does that then suddenly we are looking at banks having 2008 crisis all over again. Just me not buying from you could start a domino affect and not many people realize how important that is, and this is why we need to be more careful about this and do our best to continue without much trouble.

The best way to move forward would be making it possible for all of us to buy and sell to each other, if we all earn, then we all grow, but if one of us stops then all of us get an impact from it. Getting as much as possible is very important and we need to involve everyone all together.

The general public can't have similar thinking strength on investment. Lately, I noticed that some people even get financial help to start up any business of their choice and still fail. So, only the few determined entrepreneurs end up building up businesses with little capital and big efforts.

However, the economy always moves in the direction of those who has value to offer it, and the rest of the people may rely on the government for survival. Hoping on them is not fine, because they hardly remember the suffering citizens. Hence, to be on a safe side, clinging to fresh business ideas can relief the rate people shout over hard economy.

Certainly buying and selling will always continue even if there is a serious suffering, so let's not confuse buying and selling that normally happen on a regular basis to look down on those who says that things are very difficult for them, actually is not that those who are complaining about difficult economy has never work hard to take care of themselves before but on the contrary when the economy gets worster those kind of people may not be able to adjust themselves towards it based on the fact that the amount that normally took them a month of consumption could hardly cover up a week, so wouldn't you complain if you were in the shoes of such person? However is it not money they use to start up a business? How would such person get the money to do so.

It's time for individuals to realize that complaining about this challenging economy won't make things better or get us out of this tough situation. We must stand alone and create ourselves from the bottom; if we sit down and complain all the time, I'm confident that nothing is going to change in our life and we will always be in the same condition. It cannot work that way. Do we believe that the individuals who became wealthy through business started it when they were already rich? They were blessed because they started somewhere. Some people believe that creating a business is difficult since the economy is tough and you need a lot of money to start one.

Furthermore, have you ever witnessed a wealthy individual getting upset about the tough economic conditions? Despite this, they do, compared to others who don't want to improve their own lives. Businesses continue to operate in the market despite the current economic situation, while buyers continue to purchase items despite daily price increases. No matter how we choose to handle it, we must try very hard to reduce the suffering, shouting all the time will not provide us with food on the table.

We must instill this mindset in our heads from now on, even from an early age. That we should not complain about a difficult economy, because even though the economy is difficult, many people still make transactions and the economy will continue to turn. So a difficult economy will not be able to stop all activities that are running in the economic space. Therefore, our mindset must change, the economy is not difficult, it is difficult if we are lazy, in difficult economic times investing is a surefire way to develop our assets for the future.

I always believe that successful people are born because they work hard, are disciplined, and consistent. Don't get hung up on external things, but focus on improving your own skills. People with a spoiled mentality will not be able to overtake those who are more hardworking, resilient, and do not give up easily. Having a loser mentality complains a lot, you will be left behind when the economy is bad.

This argument is baseless, perhaps you live comfortably to warrant forgetting what others face and how they feel. First, you need to know that the context of economic hardship is not what a single person can formulate, everybody feels it whether you are rich or poor. In my country today, you dare not tell anyone that the economy is not hard, it is obvious to the point that even the rich laments more than the poor now. So this is a general concept that no one can deny.

However, it seems you have mistaken it for how people should manage the situation. You may be right on that if that is your disposition, let's work our way around the hardship to ease the pain, but still, some people/classes do not have a choice, it will affect them the most because of many factors which are not limited to their environment, health issue and deformities, lack of education/motivation etc. I only blame those who have the advantage but still do not utilize it due to laziness and lackadaisical attitude among others.

This is something people fail to understand: , a lot of people are trying doesn't mean they won't complain, because they are constrained by certain economic policies in the country. When things in the market are expensive, you find yourself buying, but maybe you don't have customers to sell to. People can't  survive without something, doesn't mean the demand will not drop, the request rate will drop, meaning what you buy might spoil in your hands or you might not make enough profit. If you buy something for $15 and can only manage to sell it for $16, and even that's in small quantities, you still haven't made much profit.

So, the economy is tough on people; many sectors are tough. Things that used to be easily accessible and cheap to buy are now more expensive. These constraints make people keep trying and trying. Is that the point of a country's economy - to make you strain yourself to the least before you can survive? People are complaining so that the government can hear and put in measures to make the economy better. It's not that everybody is lazy; a lot of us are trying.

We in this forum are trying; we're taking risks to make investments, to try out the crypto space online and offline. People are hustling. So let it be said the way it is: the economy is hard; it is tough. But we will keep trying, and we will continue to voice out so that the government will hear and take action.

If you continue to complain and think like that, your life will get worse, friend, are you still waiting for help from your government? And how long will it take for help to come to you? And you need to remember that life goes on every day, your stomach must be filled at all times. If we keep complaining it will not bring a solution to your life. Indeed, we will definitely experience difficult situations in anything, the most important thing is that we have to keep trying and don't be lazy.

The amount of capital does not necessarily mean the amount of profit from your business. If you have no experience in business, it will bring disaster to you. It would be better for us to start with minimal capital first, the main thing before starting is to innovate, in my opinion innovation is the main key in business. You have to be different from the products in your environment and the price of the product itself, for example provide economical packages or more efficient services.

If the majority of the countries in the world are complaining that the economy is hard to grow profits, doesn't  mean they are not saying the truth, because the price of some goods and services has double up early this year till now that made many companies to increase the price of their products globally. There are some people who don't want to start any business with small capital, when they know that the business is profitable, there are many business that are profitable in the society today but no money or capital to start the business base on the hardship in the land that is be caused by inflation.

Even those that are spending money in your area, if you watch them very well, you will discover that they don't spend like the way they use to spend money last year, when the economy was good, if anybody is telling you that the economy is not hard, maybe the person is a politician and you know the evil politicians use to commit to get their money.

You can only effectively leverage on the bad economy to your advantage when it's not affecting you to the point where survival looks like a big issue. For the most people, the economic situation has gotten to them to the point that feeding is now a major issue. how do you spot out opportunity when you're in that kind of situation and can barely survive?

In a country where small businesses that use to require little capital to start now require huge capital do you still look at such economy as not being hard? Maybe in a civilized economy, what's seen as a tough economy isn't as pronounced as what most underdeveloped countries are facing but for those residing in an underdeveloped country, you can't effectively spot out an opportunity if you don't have a good amount of financial resources at your disposal. The government have failed in creating an atmosphere that's conducive for businesses to thrive and because of this, it only take those that are already extablished to start off a business in this economy.

The perception of what you are saying varies from country to country or continent to continent. So it depends on where you are. Yeah, in most countries especially third world countries, the economy is difficult and that is why you see infiltration of firearms here and there to execute armed robbery and burglary.

In such countries in West Africa, you can say it loud that the economy is hard and difficult. It is now becoming a survival of the fittest in most African countries that are witnessing bad economic policies and high taxation not excluding high inflation amidst no jobs, no electricity to do such minor personal businesses you talked about like buying and selling. Such buying and selling most times require electricity and transportation whose cost add up to high prices and low standard of living.

The responsibility of government is to provide enabling environment for micro and macro businesses to thrive but where insecurities and fear takes the lead then brain drain would begin to increase and the leaps of the masses would keep singing hard economy because of the challenges of doing business.

From my observations(at least, the economy of my country has thought me enough), people tends to adapt to economical changes. I don't know if others can agree to this, but it's just what I've observed. We all definitely know that the economy of every country doesn't go bad in a single day. It starts like a sickness that slowly kills, and the thing is that people will still adapt (especially for countries where the citizens don't have say and are not allowed to publicly criticize the government or protest).

So, I think, the ability for citizens to adapt to bad economy gives them the moral to hustle hard, which in the case you mentioned, people still buy and sell. But let's not be too quick to place judgement on those who can't afford certain basic things for themselves. The truth is, you and I know that the level of information that people acquire determines what they become. Most people don't usually have access to certain information, even though information requires one to search heavily for them. And again, opportunity are not allows available to everyone.

Economy hardship just require us to find our ways to surviving.

Are you joking? Yes, people buy things, if you go outside, you'll see many people buying groceries but that doesn't mean that their life is great and yes, economy is hard. You might not notice that in rich and developed countries but visit poor countries where people work 10-12 hours a day and the max they get is money that will buy them food and rent. Is that the purpose of life? To only work and buy food and pay bills? People complain because they can't buy things outside of this frame, they can't buy good clothes, good tech and so on.

Exactly, what he says is very strange. Only dead bodies don't spend money. The fact that people spend money doesn't mean everyone's pocket is full, there are many people who sacrifice lots of things in their life to buy a food.

Even if you start selling it doesn't change the fact that the economy is not hard, are you trying to say you selling you are not feeling the harsh effect of the economy the economy in your business. I believe your business is struggling at some point because you can't tell me you are not feeling the heat of inflation.

There are some people who are into business but it is so difficult for them to cope because of the hard economy and some business are struggling and some have been shutdown. It is not everyone who can do business, I don't think life was design this way, it would have been better for you to say people needs to look for an other source of income to double their income. It is possible for people to double their hustling by getting other things doing but I don't think everyone has the energy to go into buying and selling, even if people intend to go trading it won't make any change to make life easy.

I would guess pawn shop is a very dangerous business because you can't really get receipt for everything, so how do you know if it's a stolen item or not? Just to give an example, what if someone brings in 150 year old item? You can't have receipt for that of course, so how do you know if that was stolen or not? Pawn shop is a business a friend of mine does and I can tell you that we are not really seeing anything great of value there in most cases, there are few that does worth a ton, and he got it for cheap, so he is happy about those, but it takes years to sell those things too and not that easy at all.

We should consider that having a legit business with competition could be a proper situation, I understand many wish to have a business that is not competing with others, but as long as you can have a good business then you are going to beat others, even if you are more expensive you are going to end up with a better customer base without a doubt.

You say all this as if everyone's economy is the exact same.  Perhaps there's a difference is someones economy if they live in say the United States versus say someone whom lives in Syria.  What you're saying is really pretty ignorant and short sided.  Sure to some extent people do complain about the economy and really have no idea what they are complaining about, but overall it entirely depends on where one lives.

OP, do you really think that the people will stop complaining about the economy just because you wrote a forum thread telling them to do so?
When there's high inflation, the people are complaining about it. When there's a recession, the people are complaining about being unemployed or working at a minimum wage job. It's natural for most people to complain. This is their coping mechanism, I guess.
I don't understand the point of this forum thread. OK, the people are buying what they need. So what? The harsh economical situation can actually force the people to lower their spending. The uncertainty about the future makes the people more cautious, so they start spending less and saving more. This is completely normal.

Stall selling vegetables will not work because there have been many more popular stalls and can sell cheaper than you.

When the economy is tough, you can open loan shark and pawn shop business. People will sell their valuable thing for money and some people who don't have anything are forced to get a loan. Here, you can take advantage from it, only give them loan if they have something valuable e.g. house. If they can't pay off the debt, you can hire debt collector to confiscate the house.

Some loan sharks even give offer to marry the borrower's daughter to pay off the debt.

When the economy is tough, some people complain, and others figure out how to make money. So instead of complaining, maybe it's time to observe: what are those things people truly can’t live without? Are they survival essentials, or maybe... mental necessities?That being said, you’ve got a point—no matter how hard it gets, the market’s as lively as a street bazaar. The real question is, should I set up a stall selling vegetables, or maybe something the street market can’t even offer? 

Although the economy is hard but people can still survive. But that doesn't mean everyone will be lucky to survive the economy hardship. Economic hardships is inevitable so the people who are doing business in the market are also facing economic challenges, some are fortunate to succeed their business while some are not fortunate enough and they end up shutting down. In as much as life is concerned, people must face challenges. The economy is one of the major factor that influence business. If the economy is good business progress but when the economy is bad, the chances of succeeding is slim so we can not deny the fact that bad economy is not cause of some people not progressing in what they do. Or that it can't prevent us from doing what we ought to do. Bad economy surely has an influence in peoples life.

In this era, all people are survivors; there is no one who is not a survivor; even the rich are also survivors. This means that being lazy is not allowed, or else we will starve along with our loved ones. Now, how will we survive? Of course, one of those things is that we must have money.

How will we have money? We need to have a job for us to get money, right? What else? There are also sidelines that are called side jobs that can be done while we have a job in a company or small businesses so that we have a source of funds, and online opportunities like this crypto industry.

Your view about the economy and how to handle it might be okay based on your experience. But you are speaking like someone who is either a dependent, single, living in a rich country, or from a wealthy home. If you have a family that depends on you, it will be clearer that cutting costs is very difficult. The economy is bitting hard and people are suffering. Some people don't have enough to feed for a day, so how will they start a business? Let me also inform you that many businesses are closing down because of inflation and high taxes.  

For me, I have been able to survive by cutting costs and seeking other side jobs because starting a business is not an option for me. I also encourage people who have the skills to run a business to start with available resources. They shouldn't wait until they have all the money to rent a space and buy all they need. They can start online or partner with other businesses. Complaining about the economy is not the best option, but seeking ways to survive is paramount. But this doesn't erase the fact that the economy is hard.          

I think the key to distinguish hard economy or not lies on spending on tertiary stuff here, of course people will still spend money to buy what they need even in the hardest time for our economy the market will still active but hard economy just means people can't afford to be reckless on spending and only buy what's necessary I'd call that a difficult time for our economy. on the other hand when people can't spend anything or don't have anything to spend I'd call that economic crisis.

in my opinion people's complaint about hard economy is justified, we will understand if we are on their shoes, big fluctuation and all post covid economic problem that has risen is good enough reason for people to complaint and it's not wrong either to complaint.

I do not agree with the statement and what efforts can be done by people to fulfill a much better life. Work is difficult to get at this time so that it affects people in making money and in these conditions they will definitely complain because there is no opportunity that can be done. Nobody is able to help us if it does not make changes ourselves but complaining is something that is difficult to overcome under conditions like now.

If you want to get out of these conditions then make a much more appropriate effort and use the slightest opportunity to change life to be good. By making money we will be much easier to get out of the problem and even though we make small money, but if consistent can definitely change life much better.

I do agree that people do continue to spend in times of economic hardship, I have seen it myself, but spending patterns are changing. Consumer spending is slowing down because of a rise in costs, higher interest rates, and reduced savings. For instance, resumed student loan payments and increased credit card debt are putting additional pressure on finances, making many prioritize essential items over non-essentials. While the markets are not empty, this trend change indicates how important it is to adjust to these changes both by companies and for the individual.

Rather than "buying and selling," we need to keep in tune with what is currently prioritized by the consumers. It's better to look out for accessibly priced or necessary items/services which consumers actually need rather than general advice. In this way, resilience can be favored without negating the struggle that most people are going through.

The amount of capital you start your business with will determine the amount of income you will get from your business. If after setting up your business, you still have a very poor standard of living and cannot afford some basic lifestyle, it is still an indication that the economy is hard and not because you have not tried your best.

The economy will definitely be hard when the purchasing power of potential customers is being reduced due to unemployment, underemployment, inflation, corruption and some unfavourable government economic policies. The business will still lack patronage, making you not different from others who aren't even working as hard as you do.

It is good to complain, maybe the government will hear and create more opportunities for the people to earn good money.

There’s no bad and hard economy for a person who is thriving to secure his financial stability. Even though we wouldn’t jump into seeing progress, but the fact that you set plans and goals to secure your own economy, that’s already a good guarantee that you will boost your economy status until you finally flourish and made a good progress.

Consistency is the key. If you don’t quit easily on whatever financial opportunities that will open for you, you will see positive outcome for your future economy.

You make it sound so easy like you not affected by the economy
Even the wealthiest are affected and could loss everything because of the economy.
The economy gets a point when you holding Fiat and another when there's unemployment.
How can you save little you have when that little is nothing in the eyes of Inflation.
All many do is try to survive and they are there not because it's their fault
But they lack the necessary resources or utilization to turn Threat into opportunities.
Mind you an Opportunity to one
Is a threat to another
Everybody can't win.

Economy isn't hard while you are young, healthy and full of motivation and excitement to develop yourself, so make sure to use this time of your life in your favour, because once you reach your 30's or 40's you won't be the same anymore. I don't want to discourage anyone from that age, as there is always human potential in every ages, but fact is that it's much easier to do things when you are young.

It's during your early life you will sow the seeds of the fruits you are going to gather on the next decades. So make sure to do it in the present moment diligently aware that you don't have time to waste with worthless and ephemeral things which don't add anything to your existence on long term.

The economy will not be difficult only when everything is normal, but nothing is normal, that is why the life of the common man is becoming more difficult.

However, when inflation occurs in a country, the economy of that country definitely goes for the worse. The state of the economy depends on inflation. When the state of the economy goes for the worse, this effect falls on everyone. ‌Then although the rich can maintain their lifestyle normally, the poor cannot maintain their lifestyle normally, they become poorer and it becomes difficult for them to live. Therefore, the economy goes for the worse only when the inflation of that country increases.

Due to the increase in inflation, people's normal life is hindered. They struggle to meet their biological needs because it becomes very difficult to run their family with the amount of income they earn. For example, A banana could be bought for 5taka earlier, but now it costs 10taka to buy one banana. Here, there is one banana, the price of which has increased by 5taka. Therefore, their struggle is increasing day by day and the economic situation is getting worse.

It is unavoidable when people complain about how tough the economy is nowadays. In fact, this isn't the only generation dealt with and talked about it. Every generation seems to be problematic with the economy and only the real wealthy of this world are becoming wealthier because the odds and advantage are with them. They know how to sell what people needs and as you're saying, everyone still spend money regardless of the situation of the economy. They are sellers and we as consumers only buy and they take advantage of that because they know what to sell at these times and that means margin and profit for them.

Complaining will not change the situation and complaining is also useless because it is only temporary and in the end we will continue to walk and face it.
And here we are required to be independent and think smart, try and also work hard because no one will help us and even if there is it will not last long.
Buying and selling will always exist in any situation and it will be useless if we talk in that direction because we will not know the truth. And the best thing is that we must have additional income or create skills that we have to make money, and with that we can slowly make the economy good, and we can even make investments even if only in small amounts.

This is bullshit. Most times you people say things without being realistic. Life is not an idea, it's a reality. Not everybody can be a business owner, not everybody will be a CEO, not everybody will be a successful freelance.
The economy is hard. I don't know how it is in your country, but in my country, inflation is over 100%. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to live in a country like that? Do you know how difficult it is to start a business in that kind of place? Complaining about the economy doesn't mean you're not working hard. People are working their asses off and they make a lot of money but the inflation is so high that they don't even have enough purchasing power to afford basic things.
Don't come here and tell me the economy is not hard when you live in a different reality from others. Statements like these are just excuses for very horrible governments.



This is a very myopic thing to say because can't you see that people who buy it have to work three times as hard to afford what they used to and the person selling doesn't make as many sales as they used to.
People just say "start a business" like its that easy. What about starting a business makes you people believe its that easy?

The stock market goes up, the stock market goes down, but adding slowly and steadily to your investments over time will produce results in the long run. There are always opportunities to take, just don't be too greedy because it can lead to you getting wiped out. Try to have some spare reserves which you can use to buy in the depths of a recession when everything is going super cheap because everyone else has nothing left to spend. The best thing is to stay employed, but you may need to move around jobs if you want to work your way up the salary ladder - companies will often avoid paying their existing staff extra if they can get away with it.

The point is you encourage people to keep innovating, keep fighting and reduce complaints because that will not improve the situation. Always improvise with modern economic conditions, try to get out challenging yourself from a new zone. But unfortunately, the difficult economic situation makes sales pressure and purchasing power decrease because there is no money to spend. Usually buy more inventory but when the economy is difficult you are required to reduce excessive purchases, finally the purchasing pressure decreases and traders in the market feel the impact of unusual sales of goods.

I agree with you that our life is getting more and more difficult as money depreciates day by day while people's income is only enough to meet basic needs. But I also agree with what OP said, we should stop complaining and instead focus on finding solutions to get out of the problem. Because complaining won't make our lives better, if we want to improve our lives, other than working harder and more, we have almost no better solutions.

Everyone has their own difficulties in life, not just OP, you or me, everyone has their own difficulties so we need to save ourselves because no one can help us if we don't save ourselves.
That's why I don't like people who constantly go on social media complaining about life and waiting for people to sympathize. Will it make our lives better? No, then spend that time saving yourself.

It's easier said than done.

A lot of people have never made any kind of investment in their lives which means they can't just start investing with no experience or understanding of different markets and their dynamics. That is actually a recipe for disaster.
The time to learn is when things are normal and people can afford to lose money not at hard times. In fact during "hard times" people get more desperate and are more susceptible to making mistakes.

With that said, if they have no other choice they should try to start very small and learn. First months should not include any major investments. For example if it is bitcoin market, then start with a small amount like a hundred bucks and see how you can make profit. Then after a couple of months increase it.

Let’s face it, the economy will always be hard if you are not good in managing your funds. Regardless of the inflation, if you focus on spending money without good returns, you will be doomed and suffer financial crisis. That’s why investment should always have a vital role in our finances.

Whether it’s big or small, that won’t matter. The important thing is, you are consistent with your plans and stick to your goal. In the end, you will realize that the economy is not totally bad, it’s just those people who are not wise enough in managing their funds end up feeling bad and blame the government for not making some progress.

You can't blame who is complaining in a bad economy, when your income cannot equal your expenditures, such situations can be very frustrating. Although complaining doesn't make your standards of living to become better, especially where the people in authority doesn't care about the suffering of the masses. What to do is to think outside the box on how to increase your income, perhaps quit your job for a better one, get a second job or Lean a skill that will empower you to earn more. This is the reason why the rate of immigrants from poor countries that are seeking for greener pastures in developed countries are on the increase. Self development is a key factor to escaping harsh economies because complaining alone can not solve your personal problems.

But it is indeed really difficult, mate.

I do not think it is wrong to admit both that life in this economy is difficult while also working hard. Both things can coexist. If you think life is easy then you won't be working hard. Those who were able to experience not having money knows just how hard it is to live without money and they will be the ones to persevere the most. While people who never got to experience life at its hardest, they will live under their own bubble and might not even succeed in life because they think life is too easy.

If you think economy today is not bad, then you probably have not been able to go through serious challenges. What you should not do is admit that life is hard then give up. Use this as a motivation to keep going and be able to rise above all the challenges life gives us.

The concept of buying and selling has existed for quite a long in the world; I don't think it will ever stop, even if the economy seems worse or harder. Human beings will find ways how to readjust themselves to continue their buying and selling because that's the way we tend to survive and save up for the future. It's either someone buying something for present or future use, or they are selling something for present or future gain. Whichever one they choose. It will either be for their gains, for continued survival in the hard economy

Just because people still spend their money, it doesn't mean the economy is all right.

It's like saying the economy is fine because Eminem's concert tickets is sold out, not all people have money to go concert, 10K people who bought the tickets doesn't represent of 5 Million people.

Of course there's a way to make money in difficult economy, which is the rich buying real estate in cheap price and sell it when the economy back to normal.

Exactly, looking at the economy and how people complain about it being hard makes it to be so but then I'll it keeps flourishing cause people tend to purchase their demands and wants and yet complain everywhere is difficult whereas it's not but on the brighter side I agree with you that being your own boss will definitely exempt you from experiencing the hardship of the economy.

Buying and selling will always continue .. that’s basic. But in a bad economy with high inflation, the purchasing power of our money drops, and everyone feels the impact. The poor get poorer, and even if you manage to live comfortably, seeing so many people struggle isn’t a sign of a good place to live.

When people are struggling just to meet their daily needs, it creates a ripple effect. The financial struggles often leads to a rise in crime, as people resort to desperate measures just to survive. And that’s not the kind of society anyone wants to live in, right?

People should start their own business and sell whatever they can. Working under somebody else will never get anyone anywhere unless he is the CEO of some big tech company. The economy is indeed not bad because every day people purchase something and somebody else sells it. The problem is, most people don’t know where to start and they don’t have enough initial capital. And when they enough money to start a business they often fail because they lack knowledge. If you are smart and have some money, you can become rich very quickly. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

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.
