Standard of living

[og kush420]

But, as a citizen of a third-world country, I can't help but feel that prices are still too high and that I'm struggling to buy our own food; even if I have a full-time job, it's only a minimum wage; how much more do the poor have to struggle to buy food? Though I could really see the effort of the government by like giving food and other incentives, this is a world problem because gas prices are too high. That is why prices of food and everything else are high also. I am also hoping that the price will drop soon or that the salary will increase so that people can cope with the prices.

My country is popular for fertile land, 4 seasons. There are abandoned Fruits and food is amazing here. For a foreigner it is not expensive at all.
Most of people in our country are very welcoming and every foreigner guest here in our country in a celebrity. I am not kidding!

My standard of living is increasing due to inflation factors, the beginning of the year several oil subsidies, electricity and clean water are reduced significantly so as to make the cost of production, transportation and so on to rise and make inflation that continues to increase, with a standard life of 3 meals, transportation to offices and rental costs My room needs about $ 300 per month.

Every where there is trouble - earlier it was due to COVID. Due to  bans trade and travel has stopped. Now due to Russia and Ukraine war things have been so much difficult. There is rise in petrol prices everywhere and that is the result of inflation - this hurting world will take so much time for the healing now.

For now our life is very difficult, some years we are in a pandemic, we find it difficult to travel abroad, our travels are limited, I used to be very easy to travel, and earning income in other countries was easy, but now it is very difficult, everything is limited , basic needs are soaring, plus Ukrainian inflation, oil prices are soaring, now I just hope this all ends soon.

Pandemic is still the biggest obstacle that makes many businesses stop, I used to open a small restaurant that could produce profit and pay 4 employees, but when in 2020 which made many social restrictions made me have to close my restaurant and now try to open again but almost 3 months still loses.

Tough time are no doubt difficult but they also bring with them possibilities and opportunities. Before pandemic, home delivery or take away are not that much popular. During covid, restaurant owners opened there kitchen and started home delivery. Even grocery stores kept there business running through home delivery. I know its difficult but we have an opportunity.

It's harder now, there were too many things that have happened in a few years. Speaking of traveling, there are people that can't travel due to the border closure of some countries but AFAIK, the majority have already opened. But for one to travel from here and there, requires a vaccine passport. It is known that there are still people that haven't taken the shot for some reason, it is understandable if it's a conflict with their medical situation. We can say that life has became harder for most at this time but fortunately, my life is in good shape trying to survive from day to day living.

So sorry to learn that - but what kind of restrictions has put your business in trouble?
Is it the ad account which was trouble or there was anything else. Just curious to know. Where did the things go wrong?

[TheGreatPython]

I recently gave up hoping that I would have a good standard of living. Something unexpected happens at all times and I just need to learn to live with that one way or another. It's obvious that we are not going to end up with anything bad, I am not going to starve, I am not going to be homeless.

However, I will never be able to buy the things that I want to buy or visit the nations/cities that I want to visit. Do you know how much money I need to save in order to go to Rome for example? I would need to save 20% of my salary for 3 years to have a good one week vacation there. Why even have a hope for that? A 300 dollar ps5 in USA, is around 1100 in my nation with shipment and taxes. I just want to wake up, eat, work, eat, netflix, and eventually die. That's all I can afford these days because anything else always goes to payments that are unexpected.

That's life mate. There's always unexpected things that will come in our way but you need to accept it whatever it will be. It was mostly the bad things that are hard but for the good one's, there's no way we will complain on it.

In the human life, there was only two cycle, one is when we are up or positive and the other is when we are down or feeling negative but like you said we can't always stay on one side, so whenever you feel down, just remember it, for you to keep going. In terms of payments how can you say that they are unexpected? Electricity, water, groceries, those are actually expected but if you will only learn how to plan and save, it's possible for you to achieve your dreams.

Yes the pandemic might have cause a lots of problems causing businesses to fall and most people losing their jobs without an available one for them to hold on to. Many persons had many loses doing such time but we need to weak up and get on our feet. Inflation everywhere with rise in price of goods and services. One had to plan to spend almost double of what was spent before on food and commodity.

That is indeed what an effort must do to at least be able to survive in the midst of a pandemic at that time,
I couldn't help but feel at that time I had to follow him because there really was no other choice,
But for now, with Covid cases continuing to fall and social restrictions being no longer tight, the economy is starting to grow again

[raidarksword]

We already had inflation before war started that's why it became a great despair that many people suffered greatly and it hit hard to us all. The standard of living of the people changed because of the inflation and to be able to surive this crisis we should make our kind of living the simpliest way possible. The NEEDS should be priority over WANTS.

Now in some cases this is indeed decreasing and in my country now there is no mandatory rule to wear a mask if you want to leave the house and the restrictions are getting less and less which makes this quite good for now.
But on the other hand we also can't be completely free now because indeed things like this can come at any time which makes us have to keep our cleanliness and immune strength.
But on the other hand I hope this will be over soon and the economy will recover

[Spontaneous]

   Nowadays the normal life is now is the difficult way of living . More people suffer and can't afford to buy due of inflation or to much increasing prices. An now it's getting worse due of pandemic more things that needs to buy like essentials uses .

[Captain Corporate]

It is important to keep a balance because we need to keep the world going. I know that we all want to stay safe and healthy and the most important thing right now is to stay alive. For a while pandemic caused too many people to die, we had over 6 million people dead, and over 500 million who got it, which is around %6-7 of the entire planet so it was a big deal. At that level it was staying alive that we focused on. However, economy can't survive years and years of staying inside, it gets impacted and the thing we need right now is to get back, keep safe, and start economy back up again.

Today someone told me that during pandemic - the government has given so much money and benefits to the people. But in our country - since its a poor country. Only the poor segments got some benefits. There are people who are not rich but they are not poor either and they are those who keep their integrity high. So they are always in trouble because they can not beg.

That's true, inflation was already soaring and so did fuel prices, but in the name of war, everything suddenly increased. Living costs have skyrocketed while wages remain still.

The condition was getting better before the pandemic struck, now however, it's even worse than it was with Covid-19. The increased living costs have made it unbearable to have any purchasing power.

Inflation is the global problem. Many people are in trouble.
We live in the state where we survived COVID on our own. We had to earn to make our living. But I was amazed to see how the developed country has helped their citizens.

It's true, the losses from the effects of this pandemic are truly extraordinary. Basic needs in food and financial needs are currently being damaged and indeed, as you said, it's not only from an economic perspective that has been affected, even the lives of millions of people have been lost due to this virus. which makes this terrible.
But in this case life must go on and we who are still alive must be able to survive so that indeed we can make a reversal and come back to make life better

I think the standard of living has increased/ decreased drastically during Covid.
Now due to Russia and Ukraine war. The prices of wheat and oil has increased drastically. So it is trouble everywhere.

[amishmanish]

The cost of living is increasing because the current growth model of the world is simply not sustainable. The earth is hollowing out. We have already mined deep and flattened the mighty mountains. The sea, sky and earth is polluted. I see no future if we don't mend our ways and go for a more sustainable growth.

Sadly we are not realizing our mistake, but we are expecting a life which is simply not sustainable

[lienfaye]

That's true, inflation was already soaring and so did fuel prices, but in the name of war, everything suddenly increased. Living costs have skyrocketed while wages remain still.

The Government should increase the wages of the workers because inflation is inevitable. The salary of the minimum wage earners are low and not enough to live without worries because of the expensive price of almost everything and its a burden for poor families.

The condition was getting better before the pandemic struck, now however, it's even worse than it was with Covid-19. The increased living costs have made it unbearable to have any purchasing power.

Indeed. Before, I can buy more in my $60 budget for groceries every week. But now, I have to adjust my list because this amount cant cover the cost of what I used to buy. Life is hard but even harder now and if you dont strive, you'll suffer.
