Everybody must learn to cut their cost of living by all means. Learning addition skills and securing extra jobs might be another means of overcoming this hard life. The government must also make policies that will help alleviate the suffering of the masses.
Financial experts would always advice to live below your means. And I agree with them. Some individuals do not need a car. They know it is costing them too much every month for repairs, maintenance, and all but they still own one. They can actually take the bus, tram, or train to work which would be cost effective, but they want to drive a car. This is an example of what increases the cost of living. Another point is that if you have small kids and can't afford money for their school, they can be home schooled by either you or your spouse. It saves you money too. They can return to school when it is most crucial. These are some strategies to cut costs. It cost of living isn't going down anytime soon and we must adapt and make pretty smart choices.
