It's no longer news that the world at large is suffering from inflation and it's very alarming. The salaries we earn on a weekly, biweekly or monthly basis are no longer enough to live life to the state of comfortability. We've been adjusting and adjusting in our ways of life to fit into the situation but the more we do, the more the situation is getting alarming.
In all this, I just know that man must keep living no matter what and this has given me the mindset to keep going, even if it means adjusting to the minimum.
It has been difficult for me to save money these days, I won't lie about it. It's almost as if I'm earning money just to eat and funnily, the feeding has not been on a standard level because there are days I just eat a little or anything available just to pass away the time.
These days before I go on the buy things, I first of all write everything down and give a good estimate of the price. I also reduce the quality of the things to buy just to have much and that will last longer. Sincerely, I know that quality matters but at this stage, I'm going for quantity especially on food items. A good example is buying the beans preserved with chemicals which is cheaper than the ones preserved without chemicals. Another example is buying the compressed tomatoes (raw) which sometimes look like they're decaying but they're not. This helps me to have more and cook a bigger pot of soup and also save money compared to going for the very flesh and neat tomatoes which are very expensive compared to the compressed ones. I'm sure I'm not the only one involved in this.
Also, I've reduced the way I visit people to save money from those transport fares. My city is very big and it's rare to go to places without using the motorcycle as a means of transportation. For this, I have reduced my movement to avoid spending on transportation hugely.
Thanks.

That's great move from you on how to manage inflation. The economy keep changing and it doesn't get better at all. But right now, it's just an issue of survival of the fittest. We just have to find one or the other to keep moving and I'm happy you're able to do that. I pray and I hope things get better. Thanks for sharing and do have a wonderful day and blessed week.
Yes bro. We just have to find ways to keep surviving.
The worst thing is, things are not getting softer anytime soon
Yes things are not getting softer but we shouldn't give up and always find a means to keep going. Thanks
Like you, my situation has become quite difficult. I want to deposit money but I can't.
We will all survive
Inflation has really eaten up so many countries
Yes.
This is really a bad thing
Lately this economy does not even allow us do quality anymore, we just do quantity.
That's the truth.
Quantity over quality is the survival way now
Hmmm! I can see that this inflation has dealt with us lately. Thank God for all your suggestions and I believe that if you follow it that way, it will go along way to help.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you

Sounds funny, but then you're doing well. We all understand the situation of the country 😔.
Thanks for sharing
❤️❤️❤️
The economy is not smiling
At all sir 🤦
This is a very thoughtful post. The constant adjustment is overwhelming honestly.
At this point a lot of people are choosing quantity iver quality just to survive.
We also need to be mindful if what we eat.
Thanks for sharing this .
The point of being mindful on what we eat is very good. We can get the 'quantity food' we'll checked and prepared
Thank you for sharing this thoughtful post.
Health is wealth
The level of sincerity and reality with inflation is damning. Imagine the masses rising in an uproar against the policies that are affecting us to stop some of these inflation that is man made.
Well, we continue to employ strategies that will keep us alive and thriving.
