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.
At the beginning of the price increase due to the impact of inflation, many people actually complained about all this. It's just that as time goes by everyone starts to get used to these high prices. And yes, there are fewer complaints because everyone is tired of complaining. So all they can do is work harder and try to make more money. Usually nowadays everyone is trying to get additional income from side businesses or part-time work. Because if we only rely on the original salary from the company where we work then of course most of us will not be able to set aside money to save and invest. The solution is just to get additional income. Because hoping that prices will return to normal like before doesn't feel like it will happen. Because every price that goes up rarely goes down again if it is in the traditional market. Except when it comes to vegetables and fruit.
