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.
It is not surprising when we see that the prices of goods continue to rise uncontrollably and the average person's source of income is still the same as when goods had not risen. The issue of food is a necessity and that means it must be met properly even though the price is rising so quickly. In fact, I see it is more affordable to make food at home compared to eating at a restaurant at this time. I have three children and on average we spend $4 for one meal and that's if we cook it ourselves at home by buying basic necessities once every two days. The amount can change depending on the food menu we want to cook and I think we save more if we cook it ourselves compared to buying ready-to-eat food at a restaurant.

Conditions of economic hardship are felt by many people in many parts of the world and many people are even unable to invest or save in these conditions. Our lives are still quite fortunate compared to other people because up to now we are still able to provide for our family's needs and the rest we save and invest.
