While growing up things were quite easy, an I also know that life was also easy for the common man, not until 2018 that things start changing for the worst, from then till now the rate at which inflation have struck my country to an all time high is so alarming.
Everyday price of things keeps on changing but the salaries of a civil servants still remain the same, the money that we use too feed from, buy water, pay rent, pay for light an even save from, now it can't even service our monthly needs for even half of the month.
Most times I feel for people that have many children because too get basic needs in today's economy is very difficult,
the annoying part is that the government an it agencies are doing nothing or less about the cost control of goods and services in the state.
An this has created a torn in the lives of many as situations keeps on getting worse by the day.
Am wondering if it's same experience in other part of the world.
all citizens in third world countries feel the same way when the pandemic occurs and is over, the cost of living is high but the income remains the same but not all of them feel the same difficulties, some people are even richer after the covid 19 pandemic occurred.
Reducing your lifestyle is a wise way that many people do in the midst of economic uncertainty, I think you can do this, besides that, looking for side income is mandatory, it's very difficult to survive with only 1 income (especially for those who already have a family, it feels very difficult).
It's a must, in minimizing your expenses and try to find additional side jobs to fill the big gaps as we are really having difficulty to face this situation, the cost of living even with those who have a decent paying job are being felt and we can't argue about that in many places this condition are really bringing tough and hardship with each individuals especially those who only earn minimum or less than the minimum wages.
Need to work harder and find add-ons with your salary, selling online or even extending your time to find extra jobs to make sure that you can address the needs of your family.
