    In any society 80 percent is struggling. Surplus value (over basic needs ) are like Pareto distribution. Top 1 percent lives like kinds , next 20 percent lives somewhat good or good. It is true everywhere on earth

    It is a struggle here, although it was not always not like this. My leisure is free or very inexpensive. A good bike ride, a trip to the donut shop (and get a free extra donut before closing). I enjoy fishing and hiking. Found a new spot to enjoy nature! I work a good half time job, and trying to get my own tutoring business going on line for the other half. Keep up the good content!

      That’s how I do it, I hike and spend a lot of time in nature. Or when I’m at the gym sparring with my friends, I tell myself to not think about all the problems or the bills for at least those couple hours. It helps.

    Why do bank economists almost always share elaborate lies, or the most obvious of audience patronizing information? They are worse than used car salesmen, as the salesmen at least have a car to sell you.

      @@IRLWojak After I lost my job last year, I faced an incredibly challenging period while trying to find another one. The job market was tough, with a scarcity of available positions and an overwhelming amount of competition for those that did exist. I watched my savings dwindle as I struggled to keep afloat, feeling the weight of financial uncertainty pressing down on me.
      Every day was a balancing act, trying to buy time-how long could I sustain myself without an income? It was a constant worry that I might end up living in my car if I didn’t secure a job soon. I felt like I was in a race against the clock, desperately attempting to regroup and re-establish myself professionally while grappling with the stress and anxiety of my situation. This experience has underscored just how precarious life can be and the importance of financial stability and resilience in the face of adversity.
