Koch once said, “Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones
surround us every day” and I shall use this platform to help you achieve your
goals and still survive in this harsh and shrinking economy. It is common
knowledge that I times like these, families are broken, love is threatened and
trusts are rarely kept all because there isn’t enough money to meet all our
needs and expectations. I do not promise you any rocket science formulas to
survival but rather simple and ‘crazy’ thoughts that are still tried and tested
in these harsh environments.
The
major reasons while you feeling the harshness of this environment is because we
failing to accept and admit. We do not want to face the simple truth that our
lives are threatened and there are no longer sufficient resources to keep up
with our demands. You need to do a lifestyle audit and readjust your lifestyle
with the available resources. Look at your spending habits, and adjust them to
your basic needs, for example when you could afford each family member a box of
Chicken Inn every day, as your income become scarce, you can readjust to maybe
twice or thrice a week or allow members to share. If you could spend the whole
night drinking, you can now just opt for two or three bottles then go back home
and spend the night with family. The key is just to accept that resources are
now scarce and the simple solution is just to readjust your budget.
Even
for ladies you can just opt to having you hair done at local ‘under tree’
saloons which are very cheap instead of going to those upmarket saloons which
are very expensive because at the end of the day the style will almost come up
the same. There are so many ways you can adjust your spending habits, and you
can just relook into every aspect of your life and adjust. It is a matter of
cutting down all expense whilst repositioning your mind for psychological
well-being. These are the cutting down measures that allows you to survive
without any extra hard work in trying to boost your income.
Whilst
they may be suggestions to boost your income, I rather opt for cutting down
measures because they are more sustainable rather than trying to swim against
the tide and this way you can easily survive the January Disease and any other
harsh economic situations. Also if you get the opportunity to give you other
sources
of income, do not hesitate to take it, its positive results are augmented by
reduced expenses
