SEC17 WK:#4: the effects of economic hardships on families

Source

Economic hardship bites harder each new day, sudden increase in price of goods and commodity affects not only the county's residents, diaspora, but also families too.

For the past nine years in my country Nigeria, things has been getting from bad to worst.
Before the former president, Mohammed Buhari was elected one could have a thousand naira and eat for the rest of the day with a full stomach during ex president Good luck Jonathan regime, one of my favorites president. But now, one thousand can't be enough to buy something tangible anymore.

Increase in price of fuel from #400 to #1000 per liter over night, garri which is one of the most important food in Nigeria is being sold three cups at #500, and one cup of it at #200!. Like I can't began to mention the number of things being sold at high prices.

And if you ask what's the government doing about it? They're busy doing the unnecessary things, like borrowing loans from world banks to maintain their luxury lifestyle and the most annoying thing is the sudden banning of accounts of crypto users, except one changes his or her IP address or you use a VPN which is supposed not to be so!

Nigeria my country is an underdeveloped country, because a country who sees the importance of the knowledge of crypto exchange and forex trading and yet can not give and grant access to it citizens. It's a pity to us in the next how many years to come how it will look like.!

A country that supposed to open schools for training of student, individuals on how to make money in a legit way through crypto platforms? The economy is hard, know that! and it affects every families!

What's this Economic hardship I'm writing about? You may be wondering; it's something that's related to an economy. like a system of production, distribution and also consumption of goods and services in a country.

Also this economic hardship I'm writing about also could be mixed economy, which consists of the emerging of modernization, could be primary, tertiary and quaternary global.

The hardships is already been felt by us. It's already here, the only thing to do is to find strategic ways to elevate our standards, to help lessen the effects of the hard ship so we can all survive. In times like this as families, business women and men are doing the following things;

Cook at home: it may sound somehow, but you can agree with me that buying food outside is costly and it's not even enough.

Cut expenses: you can leave the unnecessary things for now and focus on the pressing needs.

Budgeting: most persons do not plan how the go about their spending in a day and in this hardships times, one ought to have a Budget.

Agriculture: you can start by producing food crop, which instead of buying from the market you can go get yours from your farmland or even garden and this will save you some unexpected expenses.

Countless times I have seen my dad give up his last cash for us to buy meals which is not even enough and goes out to work with an empty stomach! It pierce my heart and I wish we had at such times.

Another time, I had #3000, which I wanted using to cook Afang soup but little did I know that it wasn't even enough as you could even be surprised like the leafs too was costly and in small sizes despite having to buy at the main market!

Money doesn't have value as things gets high. some persons are subjected to adjustments and Management.
And maybe, just maybe when we stick together as family, with love and start working for the improvement we will succeed!

Never the less, I invite my friends to also participate in this contest and I also await to read theirs @victorlives, @adachukwu, @vudeme123.
