When does it ever end?

Whoever came up with the“ No one knows tomorrow" saying must have been really smart as no one really knows tomorrow!! No matter how hard you try you still cannot accurately guess what or how “Tomorrow” is or is going to be.

Who would have thought that in just a few weeks the price of a commodity can double its price? Who would have thought that you could go to the market and return home to count how much you spent like you were robbed in the market? Who would have thought the economy would get this bad?

I was so pissed today, I was pissed because the condition of my country keeps getting bad every single day and nothing is being done to improve it instead we adapt and continue to live our lives just like every single time we hit rock bottom! How do people “adapt” to challenges? Is that even supposed to be a thing? A lot of people are in survival mode and it’s crazy!

You try to share your problems with your friend thinking they will be able to comfort you only for your friend to narrate his or her problems, after hearing the gravity of their problems you forget about yours and focus on them, Alas! It’s now a competition of who suffers the most.

The hike in price is so bad that nothing is spared!! All areas of life are affected!

Gone are those days when I make a list before I go to the market, in that list I write down each and every item I would buy with their prices attached to them but right now I can’t do that as I’d be signing up for heartbreak as you likely cannot return to the market the next two days and meet the same price you met days ago. This is not a movie, it’s reality!

Now I cannot negotiate prices with vendors as the prices they tell me and what I have in mind is totally out of this world! I pick up an item to buy and the seller calls a ridiculous amount and asks me how much I’d be able to pay, I can’t even open my mouth to talk as I would end up embarrassing myself.

One cannot satisfy their cravings completely again as things are so expensive and you just have to cut costs and beg your cravings to comply alongside your budget.

Transportation is not out of the equation because fuel is now so expensive that so many people have resorted to trekking😩 the level of trekking over here has increased. Some of you call it “taking a walk” in your different countries but here most of those walks have metamorphosed into trek-a-thon! People need to save their transport fares for longer distances.

I take a look at some large families sometimes, families with five to six children who are struggling financially and I wonder how they cope.

People fall ill and doctors tell them to eat healthy, how do you eat healthy when you can barely even eat?😂 doctors tell you to always rest, how can these people rest when they have to hustle day and night to put food on their table? How can they rest when their brain is filled up with so many challenges?

Over here the rate of people becoming suicidal is increasing rapidly! People just wanna die and Leave this crazy world while others wanna engage in illegal activities just to get by.

In all honesty, right now we need a miracle, a miracle that could change our lives for good, we don’t know how it’s going to happen, we just want it to happen.

Loads of Love🥰🥰

Price hike is also the same condition in Bangladesh. Even though the quantity is not increasing but the price is increasing heavily and yeah I can relate when I try to share some of my problems people would start to nag about theirs.

I guess no country is exempted from the economic crises that is currently happening in the world.

The best one could do at this point is continue to strive and engage in more online activities and remote jobs to earn passive incomes.

I know this is a sad situation but I ended up laughing at the part you said how can doctors tell you to eat healthy when you can barely eat😂

Also I can imagine how embarrassing it is when your budget is like 1k and the vendor mentions 15k😂😂
You just tell him or her you’re coming 😂😂

Alas! It’s now a competition of who suffers the most.

My sister, it's a battle of survival out there. They will say "when you think you have problems, wait till you hear another"

Things are becoming so hard and we keep wondering if, it will ever be better.

I have a colleague who now treks to and fro to work everyday because the amount of the transport fare we pays before is now doubled in price.

Seeing as there is no increase in salary despite the increase in everything we spend money on, one needs to really tell that cravings to go and hide.

We really need that miracle before everyone of us loses it.

Now that person becomes so tired and unproductive, having a car doesn’t even save you as you still need to buy fuel!

Oh yeah cravings go and hide😂😂😂😂
It is well oo

This was so eloquently captured. My heart breaks for every person caught in this economic downturn. It's terrible. Even in the UK, prices change seemingly daily. I switch and switch between different products. I cut out more things from our shopping... and focus more on the basics. I don't know what I would do if I could no longer afford transport as my kid's school is a fair drive away, but I am under no illusion that, despite everything, being in the UK, I am still in a very fortunate position. I'm so sorry things are so tough there... I truly hope and pray that your government starts to take more care of its people soon. Sending love 🙏💗

I came across your post in Dreemport this evening.

Thank you dearest @samsmith1971 it is so sad to see that a lot of people are going through this and no country is spared. We can only pray that things gets better and I am happy we all are surviving regardless of the economic condition.

Thank you for this beautiful comment dearest Sam😃😃

The sad thing about it is that it’s intentional. The powers that shouldn’t be are creating forced artificial scarcity. We have all of the resources that we need, and can flourish but they are bored with just making money. It’s about insidious control and ill intentions sadly. I think we can improve things but it’s going to take effort of the people and not depending on the governments.

Just like how they say; "Change begins with you", if we all are ready for this change then I guess the world would be a better place.
