Almost everyone is concerned about the economy: prices, housing, wages, stock market fluctuations… Yet, despite our intense focus on these issues, as ordinary individuals, it seems like we can't make a dent in them. Economic policies, global markets, and decisions made by big companies often dictate the direction of the economy, and we can only passively accept it.

But does this mean we’re truly powerless? Do you think there are ways we can influence the economy, even if just on a small scale? Or are we simply left to protect ourselves and make adjustments within this system?
Everyone has an important role in the economic order. It's just that the scale varies greatly from one person to another. There are people who can only move the economy on a small scale, such as for themselves or for their family and those closest to them. There are also people who can really move the economy on a large scale, such as people who have achieved great wealth. Those who own giant companies and so on. And actually, our small role also indirectly becomes one of the driving forces in the global economy, although not directly. Because basically the global economy is a collection of everything. So if we really care about better economic development for everyone, we must first focus on improving the economy within ourselves first. Because we will only be able to help more people if we have first achieved greater success than the other people we help. Those who currently have a big influence also come from ordinary people who started from zero. So I think everyone plays a role in their own way.

With the economy going now, the inflation is increasing, and you as an individual cannot do anything about it. The government controls many things, especially things that led to the economy's collapse to this extent, all because of bad governance, and we the citizens can’t do anything about it. So you, as a citizen, just make sure, regardless of how the economy will be, you are trying your possible best to meet your necessary needs, taking care of yourself, your family, and the people around you. That is the solution because nothing you can do about the current situation of the economy as an individual is left for the government. 

That's right, bro, complete authority lies with the government, we just have to follow all the directions from the government, we want to improve the current economy but we don't have the authority to do that, so what we have to do now is maintain the economy of our respective families, continue to do as best as possible to protect our respective families, in this way we have saved our families first, and by keeping our income stable and we set aside little by little for our needs when unexpected things happen.

I feel like we can't do anything about inflation and only thing we can do is try to keep our income growing bigger than the inflation. So if this year there is a 10% inflation, then your income should grow 10%+ this year, if we can do that then we are going to end up with a lot better result and it would be a good thing, that would be a great thing.

We should definitely see this changing with time but as long as we can do something like this it shouldn't be a big issue. Just get higher than inflation and it would be good and it would be a good thing. If you are making a lower than inflation that would be something that would take a while. I think it's clear that we are going to see this changing and we can't really consider this as anything we can do, it's about how we can only deal with what we have instead.

In the bigger picture and collective sphere we are powerless, but we can make the difference in our personal lives and that is where you should focus your efforts. Invest in yourself, develop yourself and you will be impacting the ones around you positively. That is everything you should care about. You aren't going to change or save the world from its own mediocrity, so try to save yourself and the ones who you love and care for mutually.

If everyone thought like that, the small scale would turn into a big one, affecting the whole society in all its levels positively. The problem is that we are used to get too worried about society and collective causes that we forget and lack time of taking care what is on our reach.

In the end, the ones who rule the world want to make you believe you truly have power to influence changes in the world (of course, when attending their personal interests), but at same time they also want you to neglect and forget about being powerful inside your personal existential sphere. The latter should be your goal, because the first means slavery...

In an economic situation that is far from good, as individuals, there is not much we can do, let alone help others, sometimes it is difficult to meet all our personal needs, and with this I think of course if you are in a difficult economic situation then the main thing you should prioritize is to help yourself in various ways that you can such as looking for a side job or other things that can make money.

But if it turns out that the impact of the economic crisis does not cause too many problems in your personal life and family for some reason such as you are an entrepreneur who has several businesses then you can think about the fate of others who are less fortunate by opening small jobs with minimum wages, although it cannot fully affect the economic situation in your country as a whole but at least you can ease the burden on some people, helping 10 out of 100 people to stay alive is much better than not at all.

As long as any company is producing something the masses treasured they would certainly have the power to influence the economy because if there is any little increase or lack of the product it becomes a challenge to the masses, so actually that's the reason why it looks as if most companies has an influence on a country economy especially those countries who depend on the private companies for production of some certain items, also is not like the ordinary people is powerless or does not have ideas to fight bad economy of any country but the problem is only if the government will give a listening ear to an ordinary individual.

Well the truth is that every country knows how to stop there economical challenge but the problem is if they are ready to fixed it because let's take for instance if the lack of a particular products is the major problem, is the obligation of the government to invest or hiring the right professionals that should be producing it withing the country in other to make itavailable for consumption, though individuals also plays a role on every economy such as those who have medium businesses that compromises of workers is also another of way of reducing unemployment citizens.
It's also quite difficult to fix something that you do not want to fix without giving too much power away as well. I mean if you take very little tax for just one year, everyone will get better, but at the same time people will want more of that when they see how awesome it was, then how are you going to pay for stuff as government if there are no more taxes. The reality is that we are talking about a world where it is going to be very tough for anyone to survive even with a great economy because we are wired to ruing it.

If you give everyone a lot of money and I mean like an utopia where it doesn't even cause inflation, then you are going to realize that the gap will be opened again and some will be rich while others will be poor, it never stops. So we should only focus on one thing, make sure that people can get shelter, food, health, education (and cops firefighters etc) for free, if they can get that and do that, then rest will be just difference and nothing more.

The best we can do is just support our local businesses.

This makes the community withstand any economic challenges since the money goes in cycle only within the community. This also creates more job in the community and allows for more innovation locally. While this will not change the economy completely, it is still a way to get a hold of some control at least within our communities.

Everyone will be helpless if they think they are helpless and even though they cannot change the direction of economic policy, we can still try to improve adjustments for the better. Money will not come by itself and money will not become more if we do not try to find a way so there needs to be a plan for the problem.
The way that can be done to influence the economy individually for the better because on a larger scale it is not our responsibility in the current conditions.

What we do determines the direction of finances and when talking individually our job is only to improve our ability to make money, not to change or influence the economy in general.
That is the job of people who have the ability to make money as a group and maybe they have a company because there are people working in it.

It's actually very simple, If you don't have any ability to change it, then you have to protect yourself to adapt to this system. Don't focus too much on something that is beyond your ability, just do your routine as usual to earn a living for your family, if you find that your expenses almost balance your income, start doing financial management by reducing spending money on things that are not really needed. Economic freedom in your life lies only in yourself, if you feel pressured and continue to complain about this system, then economic difficulties will have an impact on your life. Start improving your own economy, let the system run by itself.

This issues if economic has becoming worst in the country, but it may ask the we’re felling this situation in our country is the others country are facing? Because what is Just be like this our causes of living wanted to kill the living; if not the government not supposed over looks those that make them to reach the highest position they are today, the inflation has everything in the country common fuel has turned to a hot cake is only rises the prices.

BTC, a coin of today and tomorrow.
It appears that the ordinary citizen does not have the power to influence changes in the economy. This is because they are not interested with that duty and neither do they have the power to do anything. They will only have such power if they form a coalition are an organization with a purpose of influencing the economy positively. When many people come together the is power, the company or government can no longer say they are fighting individual, they will understand that they are fighting group of people.

However the troubles of the economy can be solved only by the government. But it is unfortunate that the government of today is somewhat clueless and emotionless. Because they are deaf to the cry of the common man, that is why it seems we are powerless.

The economy as a subject of study is dedicated to find out the most efficient way to use our resources, so while you cannot influence the way countries and multinational corporations do things, you have a great control over how you administer your own resources and I am not only talking about your money, I am also talking about your time, energy and even your feelings, and what can be a better example of this than someone that invest in bitcoin, as this is a move that not only has as an aim to increase your capital, but it also helps you to not be as dependent on the way the economy in general is managed as you are investing in an asset created specifically to run parallel to it.

It's like saying why can't a drop of water make a difference to a lake or a grain of sand to a beach? Why should an individual be able to have a disproportionate impact on the outcomes of billions of other people by their actions? You must think the world revolves around you with that mentality. Collectively lot's of individual decisions, like reducing spending when fearful of the economy crashing, can actually lead to the events that people are frightened will happen. The people who are most successful however, are those that can figure out when the masses are wrong and they take an alternative point of view that turns out to be correct. That's essentially how professional traders operate and make lots of money.

The current global economic system is indeed not improving, this is due to many reasons and factors that influence it, many people think like you, but what can you do, you only have power in the economic sector limited to your household or residential area.

Elon Musk, who has global power, cannot stem the flow of bad economic growth, especially as I said above, we are limited to the region, So you should just think about your life and family, I think that's better than having to die without service and without being appreciated.

The first thing we should pay attention to is ourselves, meaning when you are having problems due to the worsening economy, why should you think about others? Protect yourself first before you care about others because no matter what others will not care about what we experience.
But if it turns out that in a bad economic situation but you still have a lot of strength to stay alive because your financial situation is quite good, such as you are a successful businessman, then you can think about the fate of people who are less fortunate, you can use some of your money to build a new business with the aim of opening up jobs to help people who are less fortunate besides seeking profit from the business, at least it can help even on a small scale.

Don't be too obsessed with getting something that you can't achieve, as an ordinary person who doesn't have the power in terms of authority and strength with wealth, you can only change your own life to face inflation and other worst possibilities. Start taking action by generating passive income, take advantage of every moment you have to make money in any way. Changing your own economic condition is better than thinking about something that can drain your energy, you have to get used to adjusting to this system to be better prepared to face all the challenges that occur in life.

As a society, you can only accept the reality, this system will only make things more difficult for people in the lower middle class. while people who have power and wealth will take advantage of this situation to accumulate their wealth.

We as individuals are not powerless we also have our own part to play in the economy in short we are the most important part of the economy, government and big companies only formulate and regulate the economy but we implement their decisions.
 I am not an economist but i know we have a lot of ways to change this economy and the main reason why the economy is getting worst is because we think we are powerless and have nothing to do in changing the economy. but by the time we will take full responsibility and start implementing them even the government will take the right step further thereby making the economy better.
 In addition there are many activities we do that make the economy worst ,so we need to change for good if we really want the economy to be better.

Of course, everyone plays a role and the most important is from the lower middle class and that is always a benchmark for the level of welfare in an area. Sometimes there are also areas that need strengthening and of course this requires components that can boost the GDP level of its population and it can start from strengthening and improving the smallest item, namely in the family. So, I think with the arrival of many technological developments that are all internet-based, there are opportunities that can be utilized if you want to try and that is also another alternative that is also effective for increasing income besides using the old way of working.

The globe as we may see it are being controlled by few people such as; Businessman, politicians or a highly influential person in the society and of a true people who are known for their power often influence the society and they also look at control the market, while the average people has no option than to follow the populace. We usually think about that we can't do and within ourselves there are things we do and of course we have our legal right where you can also fight for a correction without any hesitant. If you know your legal right then you are also important to your control and can seek for change if you are on a legal power.
