The budget for our basic necessities that is enough for a week could only be spent enough for a day. The inflation really hit us so hard after the pandemic crisis and to be honest, it's stressing most of us. The only thing that we can do is to grind and work harder to earn more. If we only have a single job that isn't enough to sustain a living better look for more opportunities to earn and survive. Life is a survival battle these days and being contented will only make us suffer in poverty.
thats more likely true, the thing with commodity after pandemic or even in the middle of pandemic is that, its keeps getting inflated in terms of value, these commodities always rising when there's pandemic when quite literally everyone trying to hoard something like foods, etc but even after pandemic and people not hoarding it didn't go down again because those seller knows people need it for daily basis.
as a result everything is also increasing, right now our buying power has been lessened greatly, if we don't take two jobs, its more likely that we gonna starve, really tough times these days.
the only way is to work harder while we already working hard, doesn't make sense even a little bit, but thats just how it is.
