Honestly, this is one of the right answers I've been looking for. It's not easy if you continue to consume theories that are sometimes quite floating. I agree more that someone must understand the basics of managing finances so as not to fall into a vicious circle. I don't have many sources of income, but even though I only have one source, I want to set aside some savings to meet urgent needs in the future. However, investment is also good but doesn't seem suitable for some people who have minimal sources of income.
It is indeed a big challenge for people who have limited income to invest, because it is impossible for people who cannot fully fulfill all their main needs to set aside income to start investing, so the main key to being able to start investing is when their income has met all their main needs and there is still some remaining percent that we can ultimately allocate to investing, that's why lower middle class people will have difficulty improving their lives, unless they can get out of low income and start managing their finances well so that their lives become better.
The main obligation must be to meet routine monthly expenses for basic needs, because managing savings is not an obligation for everyone for different economic classes. They may be able to set aside part of their income for savings even though the allocation of savings is not routine from monthly income, but those with low incomes must get out of the safe zone to increase higher income because the need for funds to buy basic necessities is increasingly expensive.
Relative poverty data from various countries is getting worse due to the impact of the global economy experiencing inflation which influences various aspects of price and service increases.
