The cost of things has gone up so much so that it's glaring. Imagine paying 5-12$ for an average meal you could get before for 3$. The jump cost is extremely high. Cooking a meal at home can cost you the same amount you would spend on eating in a restaurant. Funny enough people still afford all these things without complaining. My anger is that we make money to spend it all into our normal life expenses. It's difficult now to save or invest unless you part of the rich people in society. An average man has to just eat, pay bills, and survive.
to get out of there, level up your skills, look for a side job, save 80% of your salary to invest and reduce useless expenses, avoid debt because if we just work and the money just runs out then we will work forever
What is said is not as easy as in reality sir, adding skills randomly is also not something that can be based on current income needs, meaning that it must be clear where we are going and how we can do it in the future, because adding skills takes enough time to learn until you have the standard ability.
But for the time being I think the solution is to reduce living costs, such as buying enough food and switching to cheaper ones, because in my opinion it is quite impossible if the price of buying goods is the same as what we buy in restaurants, meaning there are no cooking costs and facilities, cooking yourself is usually much cheaper.
On the other hand, it is necessary to see what abilities we have and what potential resources in ourselves and the environment can be utilized and can be worked on so that it can be made into another source of income, which is much easier than adding new skills that require relatively long time and training.
