Stop complaining about difficult economy, if you have always think the economy is hard you will be managing the little money you have , and you would think it is too difficult for you to invest in something because the economy hard. No matter how the economy may seems so difficult people are still spending money to purchase what they are in need of. Hard economy don't stop people from purchasing what they want, people are spending money everyday. In this hard economy think of what you can buy and sell that people can't do without, this is how to roll when economy seems to be difficult. Hard economy don't stop people from spending money, if you go to the market you will see many people selling and buying. Hard economy doesn't make the market to be scanty or go for break.
There is a reason why democracy is chosen as the best system of government because everyone has that free speech and you have that right to complain about anything that is bad in the economy, you don't expect people to be suffering and then you expected them to be silent, you can have money too and be still be suffering. Even if you have huge amount of money to buy things that you want, you wouldn't be able to afford the amount you send to.
Imagine that you earn $500k a year and you used to budget $100k on food and health care annually but all of a sudden the inflation jump up from 5% to 10%, you will still be earning your annual $500k and your budget of $100k might still be available but it wouldn't be able to afford that quantity you used to have before, you might probably be able to afford just 70% of what you use to have and you don't want people to complain? It seems you are yet to start paying your own bills, they still pay for you.
