another thing to worry about for most is the financial capability to make those big purchases for stocks. a lot of families are just earning enough for their basic expenses so they don't have the capability to buy extra. if you have a family with little to no budget for extra supplies, maybe, you can also evaluate your food expenditures. check if you are buying unnecessary things that are only going to waste. sometimes, we just neglect some foods and haven't used it up until we can't consume anymore. assess the budget where it really ends up with. maybe, there are some items you are purchasing not worth your penny. bottomline, be frugal. don't buy luxury things if you are in a tight budget. live within your means.
Thank you for making such a very good point. Not every family has such an amount of money to be stocking up on food stuff. Most of them can only afford just regular stuff that they buy on a daily. So, the best thing that they can do for themselves when the situation is bad and things in the market gets costly is to work on their expenses.
It would be best for them to reduce the level of expenses that they are making and cut off on the unnecessary things that they do not need. Whatever expenses that they are making in a time like that should be only on things that are necessary for them or should I say their needs and not unnecessary wants.
