The prices of everything soar high

[Springtime]

Indeed, we are living in a difficult time. The cost of living is high, but pay increase, if any, is small. We have to spend money wisely and try to find difference sources of income.

It's not good to rely only on the salary, it's better to have extra earnings add two or three jobs. If there is money for capital, better do business, even small to roll the money.

Why don't they look for a job or do online business. Do they have children? They better live with their parents. That's a crucial life. They have to find means by not digging. What if they get sick eating dirty food and wearing thrown clothes?

Because they haven't the least idea about online businesses. They don't speak any foreign languages (that's crucial in order to work online). People in such a condition are usually illiterate and don't have the least idea about how to use a computer. And, obviously, as they don't own a single penny, how can they pay for a wifi at home? People living in such a condition (that's a lot of people in Latin America living in such a condition) haven't supplies at home. No idea if their parents are still alive.

That is so sad, if they only have skills, they will not suffer like that. The social services can better help them to build a small business.

I don't think there is any product that has not had a 100% increase in its price within this year. And it is telling on common people.

It seems the prices there in Manla are a little bit cheaper compared to here in Cagayan de Oro City. A kilo of sticky rice is more than one dollar. Marcos announced the new price of rice there, which is P 20. There is none here so far.

I live in the province, and the prices here are more affordable than in Manila. Living in Manila is more expensive. Hehe. This is why I prefer living here. Hhe

I remember now what you have said that you left home and rented an apartment in the province. What's the name of that province? Are you staying in Laguna or Batangas?

We are in a very complicated moment in history and that is being reflected in the economy and in the prices of everything, I don't know when this might end, but it is clear that the system is not functioning properly and needs a restructuring before it is too late.

This is almost every where now. We are still battling it In. my country now it's not easy at all.

Next year, the more financial struggles some people would face because of the continuing war, extended inflation, and climate change. If there's always storm, farmers cannot have goods produce.

Social services' tasks here are more focused on the necessary requirements to access a governmental allowance, but you must be over 65 years old or seriously disabled. Under 65 years old you can get half an allowance, but you shouldn't get your residence in the same house where resides a person who is yet receiving governmental help.

It is sad to hear about the fate of the destitute people there . The government cannot be blamed. There might be millions of them needing assistance.

Exactly. A considerable number of a population of 200 million inhabitants live in a miserable condition (that's why a lot of them live in a slum where there is no need to pay for rent and supplies, but slums face the big disadvantaged to be the centres of drug traffic).

That is too many to feed and sustain by the government. Why did these kinds of people multiply? That will be so critical for them. They need help, especially food and clothing assistance,

Well, as Latin America never stops to cope with school drop-out during one's teens and these teens usually leave high school to start to live with their partners (whether married, whether not), at their age it is normal to multiply soon, ignoring contraceptives. Or they multiply with the purpose of getting a bigger governmental allowance...

They loved to create a baby factory he he. However, they an still survive despite hardships financially . God finds a way.

Well, each child means 150 more from the government, despite it's obviously impossible to support a child only counting on that amount (depending on the city where you live, this is the cost of a peds consultation, but in a city bigger than mine, the costs can skyrocket to 200, 300, etc.

They should apply family planning and not family planting lol. It's crucial for their survival. Many are worried about the soaring prices this time.

Well, if they were properly alphabetised, if they wouldn't skip school and pursue a good education grade, they could be concerned about they need family planning. Especially considering public clinics offering contraceptives for free.

I think there are free college educations there owned by the national government. Why is it that these [people did no acquire a good education so they can have a good opportunity and retirement benefits?
