Maybe I can buy fruits again more frequently now

in #life8 months ago

I couldn't help but feel sad because of the rising cost of living and causes me to forgo about having the extra basic foods that me and my parents needs to eat for a better health, vitality, and longevity.

I blame inflation for my problem about buying fruits and other food ingredients for dishes that I wanted to eat as the prices are sky-rocketing due to the past circumstances like trade wars between the US and China, the pandemic-lead supply chain disruption, the recent and still ongoing war by Putin, this war in the middle-east, and the sanctions against Putin which affected the economy in Europe which affected the economy world-wide. Now we are collectively suffering from the high prices of oil and subsequently the prices of commodities. The compounding effect of the printing of the dollar also has its direct repercussions as the US government is causing the payment of its debts by creating more debt as it teams-up with the treasury department to borrow money from the Federal reserve bank. I thank God for my means of patching up my needs because of my way of earning but my "play money" had been used-up so fast already following my recent AV Fistula surgery to fix it even though I paid zero money from it, the lowering of my Hemoglobin caused me in the form of buying EPO injections for more than a month.

I have no debt but because of my financial obligations and medical needs, it feels like I am paying for a lifetime of unceasing debt.

My recent hospitalization, the copay that have to pay for ever dialysis treatment that I get with more frequency now more than ever because of my need for it and the fact that I am spending more than PHP 72K every year for copay in the hospital plus paying for my health insurance and the important supplements that I needed to have on a daily basis had been a big burden for my finances. That is why I am not really spending so much for myself but only those that I needed. Meanwhile my other needs is left to be unfulfilled because of the ridiculous prices of commodities where it is easy to get bankrupt if you will not suppress even your basic needs. But maybe my financial situation will change in my favor this year if God wills it because of the current trend in the cryptocurrency prices which is lead by the demand for Bitcoin and it causes a re great smile on my face now. My existence in this world is just very limited because of my health issue but I just wanted to live comfortably in the sunset years of my life and this welcoming development about crypto economy is like a long-awaited rain for my relatively dried-up resources considering that I am still earning but not enough to make me feel secured as I also worry for my parent's welfare as well. I do think that my siblings are relying on me for fixing this house which I am planning to do if financial conditions are right and it is a painfully long wait for doing it considering that it will take a serious amount of money to be able to accomplish that by a person solely relying on his crypto earnings considering that he has many financial obligations to straighten-up for himself alone like, me.

I am now seeing that a sizeable relief is on its way now and it is already giving me the relief that I needed to hopefully free me from ever worrying about patching-up my own needs together with my aging parents who are now complaining more about how life is hard already for them.
