Well, the inflation in my country now is not extremely high but has already damaged the economy. The cost of living is increasing and does not seem to stop. Last week one of my friends lost his job after working in the same company for a decade. His life abruptly changed, putting him in a place where he could not support his family. If you were him, how would you survive this tough time ? As a friend, I am trying to help him as much as I can and meanwhile, I am planning to save more money to prepare for the unexpected challenges in my life. What about you ?
I would advise your friend to try anything to find work, even do undesirable jobs if he has to. There is no shame in working, no matter what it’s doing. He could get two jobs if he has to. I would advise him to invest in bitcoin & hold long term but it sounds like he doesn’t have much money & it’s just about staying alive, not investing. Regardless I hope he is doing better now, it’s been a few months since the OP.
