The country I am traveling in now is neither developed nor poor. The standard of living is quite affordable compared to western countries’ but does not mean low compared with many poor countries’. In my spare time, I talked to the locals about their life and they all try their best to keep the job they have now or try to find a side hustle to make a living. Many of them are living paycheck to paycheck without savings.

I calculated their income and living expenses on average and find out that if there is no money inherited from parents, a young man can barely afford a house or a car, all he can do is try to work to meet ends meet.

I have passed the stage of life to buy expensive things to show off and really come to appreciate the importance of making a living in whatever economic situation. I respect all those who are trying hard to make life easier. What are your thoughts about making a living ? Is it hard or easy in your home country ? Please let me know.

Own housing and a good car is something that people can work on for perhaps even half of their lives. If you say that there are those who barely make ends meet, and live from paycheck to paycheck, then how can they buy a home?

Much depends on the place where you live, on the standard of living in the country. Therefore, if you are lucky and you were born in a developed country with a good economy, appreciate it.

I often said that it all depends on the person, if you really want something, very much, then you can achieve it, but when I see poor areas in which people have no electricity and sewerage, I understand how difficult it can be, to change something in life. A few people can do this, but most of them will remain in the same place and you can’t change it yourself.
