Struggling With Life's Challenges

The economy is in such a state that both those who are well off and those who are not are complaining.

No one is satisfied.

Maybe it is difficult to please everyone at the same rate; but when you look at those who complain, when you see shoppers, real estate, cars, foreign currency purchases and sales, you really don't know what to believe.

We are really afraid to shop, but when we see people shopping in those chain markets, we sigh, "I wonder if there is something wrong with us, if we are the only ones who are poor, the only ones whose economy is not good!"

We have a car, but we are surprised to see those who do.

Those who are well-off, those with double salaries, those who have loans to banks, those who have several people working in one house, I guess the cost of living does not concern them too much.

Now, I will say "they are the ones who are always in the bazaar-market" but it is obvious that this is not the case.

If you ask anyone, everyone has a few credit cards in their pockets, everyone is indebted to the banks in one way or another.

Those who shop with credit cards open up and open up as if it is free, but when it comes to paying, that's when the tail of the bull comes off.

That's when unpleasant situations can arise.

Yes, there are hikes, there are high prices, but no one stretches their legs to the limit, they can't, or maybe they don't want to in order to be like others.

Not to mention the waste (especially the waste of bread)!

The exorbitant, meaningless and senseless hikes every day are bending people's backs.

People have to eat, drink and shop in order to live.

Those who do not have a house have to somehow rent, pay the rent, pay the electricity, water, telephone, natural gas bills.

Even if you are up to your neck in debt, one way or another, current needs have to be met.

For those who are above a certain line, perhaps it is not much of a problem, but for those who are below that line, for those who live on minimum wage, and especially for those who have no income-generating job, life and livelihood have become very difficult.

The fact that our people have become accustomed to ease of living and have fallen from being producers to being consumers, and the fact that complementary supplies are difficult and expensive due to the dependence of the peasants on foreign sources in some areas of production, have led to the emergence of livelihood difficulties.

With the outsourcing of all kinds of products that facilitate human life, it has become difficult to sustain life day by day.

Hike after hike by suppliers has reduced purchasing power to zero.

Although the necessary interventions are made, it creates problems with the creation of a cartel and confronts people with an economic crisis.

It has come to such a point that people are stuck between the wallet and conscience.

Shoppers have no money left, and some of the others have no conscience due to exorbitant price practices.

There are those who work and strive for "the economy to do well" and those who work and strive for "the economy not to do well".

Life is getting harder and harder, God help us.

Now that winter is here, let's see how the opportunists will increase prices. May God give us conscience and mercy.
