The cost of living is trying to kill the living

[Sanitough]

Living expenses if only for necessities such as food or monthly payments are reasonable. But usually people are too ambitious to fulfill their prestige with goods that are very expensive but those goods that cannot be stored for a long time will experience price erosion. Therefore, people who think the cost of living is expensive are those who continue to obey their prestige even though it is only their desire to be able to have things like other people have even though it is not a necessity of their life.

We can always chose to live simply even if inflation is here for good. As long as you have your own job to support and pay your monthly bills, then rest assured that you will still survive despite of the goods and services prices that continue to surge. But if you live life according to the norms and trends in your surroundings, then expect that your finances will never be enough. The cost of living will certainly kill you in the end.

You shouldn't really be limiting out yourself on this kind of pace on which you would sole relying with your day job on paying up your bills and depending your life according into it.Well, there's no other choice but

we could really be having other options on which we could really still be able to engage on, on which we could really be able to find other sources on which we could really potentially make more income.
Dont limit yourself on one source because the more the better and we know that living on this world does have lots of factors affecting us on which inflation and economic problems are really on the way, which means that if you are really just that simply relying on your dayjob paycheck the there would really be coming a time that those earnings wont really be that sufficient.

Cost of living is never been getting that cheaper but rather the opposite. We should just accept that reality and instead on making yourself idle then it would be wise on finding up other
ways or methods on which you could really save up yourself on such condition specially in hardship on having money or stable finances.

This sounds funny though but in the real sense, it is the reality. According to your speculations,  the world is going through economic recession, the rate of inflation is getting out of hand and the economic meltdown is beginning to dawn on nation's and their nationals.
No work, no employment, no nothing to show for but you will have many things to think of but no way to fix them up because  of the  constriant. .

How does the average human survive at this point in time when things are just this ways.

Truly, the cost of living is trying to kill the living

I believe that this issue that is delighted upon is more problematic in some countries than it is in other countries because, even though the inflation rate is very high in most countries, in other countries, at least most things have not yet been heavily inflated. Also, in the first world country, where some employers pay their staff daily depending on the kind of job they are doing, the employee has the privilege of doing three or four jobs at a time hourly and receiving payment every day, which could at least help them to cover the fees for their needs, but in the third world country, it's not like that; you work for 26 days in a month excluding Sundays, then you receive a very poor payment that cannot even cover half of your needs for that month, I believe that's why OP said cost of living is Killing the living.

well in the end it all depends on how we live our daily lives. Do choose to live simply and buy only what is necessary and avoid any unnecessary purchases. or instead choose to live in luxury and always prioritize a style that follows trends which in the end will indeed burden his personal life. And yes, if we want to survive even in a state of high inflation in a country. then choosing to live simply is the most reasonable and wise.

Well, in some countries even how hard and put your best in dealing with these hikes people are still struggling. I guess there is no skip on this one and we do have to deal on it with every inch that we can.

Rise of layoffs, high cost of living and inflation. Things are becoming harder this time but I still believe that it won't be like this forever, there will be some point maybe in the nearest future that everything is gonna be back at least at some point and that's an ease for many people.

Look for as much opportunity as you can and be wiser more than you can be in handling finances.

It's rare to find a person that believes the high cost of produces, house rents and devaluation of fiats will come to a halt in future. I don't doubt it, but such a beneficial change also needs a strong event to enforce it. Everything lies in the hands of the people and government. In some countries where prices of goods are not regulated, sellers may not reduce the prices of goods if the price drops. Countless times I've noticed that citizens also add to the difficulty we face today; economic meltdown, price hikes etc out of greed. It's hard to survive in a world with corrupt citizens and government.

I agree, whether the economy seems to be good and back but the prices of the commodities and usual goods that we consume won't be back to its former price.

These merchants, businessmen, suppliers and producers won't be in favor of that. Since the price that has increased, people will just get used to it and that's why the solution is to make more money.

But I'm still hopeful even if the chance is like 0.1% of seeing it back.

Amidst the high cost of living, coupled with the difficulty of finding something that we will use to survive, that ultimately makes the situation even more difficult. I often think, someone who is relatively well-off says that they have difficulties and go through life, moreover, those who have had it difficult from the start when things were still normal.
I am also the same as you, that I believe that this will not be forever, and I hope that in the near future everything will return to normal and even better than before. What we can do now is keep trying so we don't fall to the point where it's even more difficult for us.

When the middle class and some well off people are complaining and they're also not exempted on these high cost of living, there's the visibility of the problem.

And if they're struggling, how much more those that are below their lines and status of living.

Mate, this isn't just a problem in your country; it's also a problem in mine. Prices are just going up every day, making it impossible to buy something today and expect to pay the same price tomorrow. I've come to the realization that as we get older in this world, the problems only get worse. You can't compare young to adulthood at this point, when the economy is always in bad shape with high prices for goods, but that shouldn't matter much. Keep up the good work. God will undoubtedly provide for us.

Things change all the time and economic growth forces many people to look for loopholes to cover the increasingly high cost of living. The economic crisis, salary imbalance and rising basic prices are a big problem for some people today, what can be done when such a life continues to worsen conditions and those in authority do not try to solve the problem. One cannot rely on other people or institutions to solve problems and there is no point in continuing to blame them.

Do something to find a solution to this problem and try to live by a much more frugal standard and not spend money on things you don't need. If it's not ourselves trying to find a solution then hoping someone else will solve the problem is pointless and time doesn't wait for us to find a solution because it will keep going.

I hope too, but as of the moment, what we can do is find another source of income so that we can cope with this inflation because if we don't, we will still keep struggling in this world. That is why others are sacrificing their time and sleep so that they can cater to another job because right now one job is not enough unless you have a ton of salary. That is why others find side hustles to cope with the prices.

Inflation will frustrate the living hell out of you if it's too high, even when you receive heavy pay check and inflation is everywhere, nobody will be left out even with your high paying job. When you receive your salary every month, there wouldn't be money left for investment and savings because food items will consume everything you have, let's assume you are even single, there are other miscellaneous items you will buy, there will be bills to sort out, you will pay money for wardrobe as well, no way you can manage life with high cost of things no to talk of people that are poor.

Inflation is deadly, it's the government responsibility to checkmate it in other for the citizens to enjoy what they earn, even the government will enjoy taxing it's people when inflation is well taken care but in a condition where people find it difficult to feed, they wouldn't want to pay the government when it's due.

I don't know which country you live in. But it seems that inflation in your country is still quite high if you hear your story that it seems that price increases are still moving quite fast. And I hope your economic condition remains fine. And yeah right we just have to focus on keeping working and earning more. And about fortune then God has arranged it for us. we just have to try our best.

In the country where I work, the economy is really starting to recover quickly. because price increases are not too frequent. Even some basic commodity prices have decreased. So that I become more comfortable living here. Because I can still set aside my money to invest and send it to my distant family to help my family's economy.

[Litzki1990]

Ordinary people now seem to be living a life of war. Because the per capita income of people is gradually decreasing but the prices of various goods are increasing a lot. Two years ago the price of a thing which was 1$ now has increased to more than 1.5$ but the government is not thinking about it. Can government officials live the way they used to live now? Now people have to think more than once if they want to buy something because the amount of salary they are getting every month shows that at the end of the month they are having a lot of trouble. If the prices of various commodities continue like this then one day many people will die of starvation.

[Gallar]

Not only in the country where you live, but several countries including the country where I live are also affected by inflation. What I felt was the beginning of the severity of this economy when the corona virus (covid19) outbreak entered my country, in mid-March 2020. In the early days, work was still going smoothly as usual. But after a few months, many workers were laid off, and I was also affected and that's where I started to feel the impact of inflation which was more pronounced.

At that time, the government in my country also carried out various methods so that the people could be safer and protected from what is called an economic crisis. By providing assistance every month, in the form of groceries and a little money. But all that still can't cover their daily needs, in fact it's very lacking. Because staying at home, you definitely need quite a lot of money.

So at that time the government really couldn't do much for the people, and even now inflation is still very high, but with the end of the Covid 19 outbreak, it became easier, because jobs have been reopened.

And most importantly when the economic situation is in a bit of a crisis or experiencing inflation, you have to be able to manage finances better, and be able to maximize all abilities, so you can generate coffers of money. Because at this time, whatever ability you have, it must be used properly and optimally. Because the competition in life will definitely get tougher in the future.

Life is really becoming very difficult for unskilled people. I think that world is changing and people don't want to see that. Everyone wants unskilled jobs and there are tons of people who are willing to do unskilled job for little money. And people, who finish universities, find it very difficult to gain experience or do internship because competition is very high and old people don't want to say no to their chairs.

But there is one big problem. There is a huge demand on skilled electricians, skilled plumbers, etc. Old people are retiring, new people don't want to learn while salaries in these fields are higher than in fields where you need 4 years degree + masters. The problem is mentality. If you are a plumber, people think that you are uneducated, no girl wants a guy who works as a plumber and looks dirty during his work, everyone wants a fit man with Porsche. This makes young men depressed and all they do is smoking weeds and drinking beers.

Bonus! Politicians are accelerating this process because they want slaves, they throw away a little booze and tell people how okay it is that cost of living is increasing and how okay is it to be depressed and don't have money.

The depressing truth of life that many people failed to understand. it is no longer your degree certificate that will forth in your bills but the skills you have at hand will do that.

The world we live in is changing and its population is on the rise also. The world economy is no longer a level playing ground for degree holders to easily survive without backing it up with a side hustle.

To survive in this competitive labor market, you need to have a different source of income(not completely dependent on one)

Quiet indeed, in our country where the salary of white collar job is not sustainable for a family or it is always just enough without any little Change this inflation really makes us to live a harder life in our country, our country cost of living gets higher and higher government doesn't have a concrete plan for this they just always lend to other country that's why our taxes getting bigger just for this country to pay them. Cost of living in your own country really gives you  hard time and think to have more jobs to get sufficient amount of money.

But doesnt mean that you shouldnt pursue on getting a degree, it would really be still that sensible on getting one because having a degree or certificate or whatsover that it is really that correlated to this would really be that necessary or something that would really be that needed for you to at least having the chance or potential on getting some work or job and also when it comes to awareness of things or learnings then you would really be having that kind of advantage which is something that you would really be having compared to those who didnt touch up a school or having the education. We are living on a world on which
you wouldn't really be able to survive if you cant be able to gain or make some income because we know that everything on this world does come with its price. Buying your own food, shelter, clothing and other
services does really have that a value or cost on which means that if you do lack up or having no money? Then for sure you're fucked up. This is why on the time that you do realize that you are really that
you are gradually struggling on day to day living due to expenses and inevitable inflation then it would be common sense that you should really be needing to find for another source of income
so that it would be able to ease up such challenge but of course it wont really be that easy.

[Russlenat]

The solution is not just depending on the government, or just praying, but we can also start from small steps starting from ourselves. Don't expect too much from the government, no matter how good the program from the government, if officials like corruption, it still makes people disappointed with the government.

Officials in a country are basically elected by their own people so that the people must also realize this besides not having to depend forever on the government because everyone who wants more income in their life certainly has to work more hard. Whether it's by opening a business or by utilizing existing resources, because without that it will always be difficult to cope with spending money which is increasing day by day in life. I also agree not to expect much from the government, but every citizen also cannot forget the government because that is the seat of leadership for every country.

The government has an obligation to help the people especially for those unfortunate individuals, but know that there are a lot of those living in a country, so expect that the government cannot cater them all in an instant. Instead, do not wait for the government to help you. Go and find opportunities on your own. That way, you can always create a progress for yourself even without the assistance from the government.

When I look at your description and username I think you live in Turkey. Unfortunately, in today's conditions the prices of products are changing every day in Turkey and the purchasing power of households is getting lower day by day. The Turkish Lira which loses value day by day especially due to the mistakes made in the country's management and economic decisions unfortunately causes the Turkish people to experience more difficult days.

In today's conditions in Turkey, there is a minimum wage worker of over 60%. The rest, unfortunately work with a salary slightly above the minimum wage. Unfortunately, these salaries are not enough for basic living expenses and in some provinces they are unable to even cover the rent. For these reasons it became impossible to save or to live above the standard.

Due to the economy, which is taking firm steps towards the worse with each passing day, both the young generation and today's children are unfortunately worried about the future in Turkey's conditions.

I think it is not "that" different in most of other nations as well, not really that different in my country too. The logic is that if you are making a salary, then you shouldn't be able to live a great life, it just doesn't or will probably never happen. I think it is quite important to just focus on what you could do with it, and learn how you could get out.

There is a reason why there are so many authors from so many different nations that keep on writing books about how you could make more money if you got out of the 9-5 lifestyle. Sure maybe yours is worse than others, but doesn't make other nations a great place to live with a salary neither, believe me because I know millions even tens of millions having debt and barely surviving in my nation as well.

[Mauser]

It's true that the cost of living is rising all around the world. Food prices have been on the rise for several years now, same goes for beverages, energy prices and rental prices. The companies state standard arguments like covid and the Russia Ukraine war as a reason for the price increases. I wish the consumers would be more critical about the price increases and try to challenge the companies more. It can't be that every sector needs to increase prices 30-50% over 2 years. To me it rather feels as an easy way for company to boost their profits as they think they have the power of the consumer. But the truth is that we the consumers have the, if we would work together and boycott companies that raise prices to high. For most products there are alternatives that we could switch to if we look for some. Unfortunately most people are still willing to pay the premium to buy brand products. We have a weekly market in my city that sell produce from local farmers at cheaper prices than the supermarkets. In case more people would buy locally and buy less from the big chains we could force them to rethink their price strategies. Only a few weeks of staying away from certain products would pile up so much inventory that the company would need to lower prices or the warehouses would overcrowd.

This is a sad reality for some or should I say many countries. Those that has high corruption index are not really for the welfare of their people but only for the welfare of the politicians pockets.

In this era everyone is thinking about their own benefit and avoid the happiness of others so same is the case with government that whenever corruption initiate in country then the fate of that county become worse because citizens of that country are deprived of the useful material that will be beneficial for life.

It is true that a common man works by himself day and night but alone he cannot do anything without the help of government so I think that corruption should  be avoided if someone wants to have a prosperous country. The salaries of government are enough to make their life satisfied and they also gets opportunities which a common man does not have so there is no need to get more money through corruption, hence Thinking about citizen is also a responsibility of government.

I understand what you're trying to say mate but you should know as well that your job is not going to support you permanently as that is just a temporary one even if we say you're already a regular at your job or does have an authority over the others which make you higher. Unless you are the owner of the company and does have a vast network of investments, then you can somehow say that you can really survive without worrying about the inflation because you are always producing funds even if you're sleeping.
