The rising inflation and the cost of living are affecting billions of people all over the world. Some people are managing but others are finding it difficult with some people even struggling to afford the essentials no matter what they do.

I myself am managing to an extent at the moment with the cost of living but I will not deny it is stressful and awful to have to deal with and I only feel for those who are worse off than I am.

How are you coping with the cost of living?

I live with my parents, rent-free so to be honest, I don't really have to worry about it all that much. A lot of my money goes towards food, drinks, a few bills, and my car. I don't understand how people live on their own nowadays with inflation being so high, it seems like it's a make-or-break situation.

Honestly, it haven't been easy since inflation is trying to suck the living out of us. If not for now I've managed to work on different jobs to earn a little extra, I would find it hard to cope.

Mehn! It's very difficult coping with high cost of living in our world today. Everything keeps getting worse and very expensive with most people struggling to make a living. It haven't been easy for anyone. All we know how to do now is survive.

It is very difficult for me, because besides this, there is a war in my country, and because of this, prices are growing even faster, and salaries are not, therefore, I have almost no rest, I am always at work just so as not to die of hunger. Of course, I can save money, but I try to save on everything in order to be able to invest at least 5 percent somewhere with the hope of getting additional income.

I manage my expenses wisely and prioritize essential needs. I also look for ways to save money, such as buying in bulk or finding deals. Additionally, I explore opportunities to increase my income, such as freelancing or taking on part-time work.
