Every season comes with its own hardship, it is getting harder to differentiate between the seasons. To experience genuine happiness due to a favorable economy is almost becoming a distant memory. Throwing blames won't make any difference, so we hope. But here we are, after years of navigating the hardship, no straight path is ahead, hopelessness is almost within reach.
To prevent ourselves from being a victim of consistent poor choice of leaders, not that anyone would make any difference at this point but we have finally found something, to cope with our new found existence. The most common strength that emerges in every human during time of hardship, is the survival instinct. An instinct that supercedes every other thing, it helps manage our situation, so yeah, we have all become private managers of our lives.
Since our financial life have more effect on our lives compared to others, managing it effectively is tantamount to a life with lesser burden. To navigate life during time of economy hardship is quite simple, as long as you stick to the rules.
There is a lesson to be learnt in every season, you can't hawk salt while it is raining, neither should you hawk Shea-butter when it is sunny. Knowing what works during the time of financial hardship, it is what differentiate the wise from the unwise.
Resources is scarce, despite that, there are still enough to manage. In a time like this, excessive and impulsive buying should be extinguished. It will only make life unbearable, why not make a better decision, to make life more comfortable.
I won't be one of those people that preach of a better tomorrow because while it is raining, some might still feel heat. Which means, it is the responsibility of everyone, to invent a better Tomorrow, for themselves.
The prices of commodity will continue to skyrocket, as a human trying to navigate the hard economy, I have created a tight budget for every single thing worth spending on. I can't afford to spend beyond my budget, the consequences of it, is detrimental to my growth.
The king of it all, is the discipline to maintain the principle because without it, it is just thought with no impact. I have learnt the rules necessary to survive in a time like this and I have discipline myself to stick to it. It is quite simple, is it not?
