Whenever inflation begin to flow in a country, all you need to do is to reduce your expenses so that you will be able to survive through out the years the inflation will going to flow, because if you fail to work on your expenses during the inflation, there is no way you can escape the inflation and the hardship in the country.
Do you think reducing your expenses is an option here? When inflation strike, your income will barely get you half of what usually get with it before and by reducing the expenses, you mean reducing your daily consumption. It's like attempting to starve yourself which is not ideal. The best thing to do is to increase your means of income through other alternatives. At this current era we live in, I don't think people still rely completely on salary to survive unless you intend to be in debt until your retirement. Salary is not longer sustainable and that's why people are now turning down on salary jobs and prefer to be self employed.
I agree with you. By reducing our daily or monthly expenses is indeed one of the possible options, however, this will not be a long-term solution to overcome inflation. In the long run, the more inflation rate we have face, the more we need to reduce our expenses until we are no longer be able to purchase the same quantity of products or foods sooner or later.
The best thing to do is to find another source of income, a job with a much higher pay rate, or at least find a way to have a stable source of income that can help to pay for the daily expenses we have.
