The solution is not just depending on the government, or just praying, but we can also start from small steps starting from ourselves. Don't expect too much from the government, no matter how good the program from the government, if officials like corruption, it still makes people disappointed with the government.
Officials in a country are basically elected by their own people so that the people must also realize this besides not having to depend forever on the government because everyone who wants more income in their life certainly has to work more hard. Whether it's by opening a business or by utilizing existing resources, because without that it will always be difficult to cope with spending money which is increasing day by day in life. I also agree not to expect much from the government, but every citizen also cannot forget the government because that is the seat of leadership for every country.
The government's role is still important, such as in maintaining the security of a country. But for every individualistic economic condition, of course we cannot always depend on the government. because we are fully responsible for our own lives and the Government may only be a provider of facilities and still we have to work hard if we want to have better changes in our lives. I personally started with a prayer to Allah SWT. and after that I tried harder to get in better shape.
