While you think about ways to cut down expenses, I think you should be giving concentration to ways to increase your income since the expenses keeps coming, I have decided to have a small business besides the one I am doing currently to boost my income. I grow some of the regular things we consume like vegetables, plantain and cassava myself but the economy is still hitting hard and it becomes very important to have a form of additional or passive income source.
That's what I was thinking. If you live in countries with very high inflation, saving money won't do you much good. In other words, it is better to try to increase income, beat inflation in other ways and be self-sufficient if you can. The closest case of inflation I know of is Argentina, where as soon as people got their hands on a peso, they rushed to spend it because they knew that tomorrow, or perhaps in a matter of hours, that same peso would only buy them half as much. Those who could saved in dollars or bought assets to beat inflation. Others turned to self-sufficiency and bartering. But saving in your fiat currency with very high inflation is useless.
