I Have been observing the way price of things are going up right from 2013 up till this time , add to the pandemic in 2019-2020 that caused high level of inflation to the world.
Once an inflation in commodity price occurs it never deflated back to the normal price again even after the economy balanced, this has indeed been a major concern for businesses to thrive.
both the rich and the poor are complaining of it and it seems the price of things will keep on getting higher.
The rich will always get to afford buying at any price while the poor is left with no alternative than to walk away, and this is one of the reasons for increasing insecurity in the society because many will be frustrated to forcefully find a survival means either by stealing or scamming people just to make a living.
I think the best thing to have in mind is to expect more inflation and to prepare how to tackle it in years coming.
Definitely things can't continue to be the same way it has been, that's why having an alternative to every source of income is very necessary.
