Inflation is the killer of joy.

    Of course, everyone has a problem; they might just be different from each other. There's no one on this earth who does not have a problem. God designed problems for humans; they are part of what we can face in life. Everything cannot be sweet all the time. Sometimes you will be sad, and sometimes you will be happy. That is the definition of life. Both happiness and sadness are also part of what makes us grow in life.

    If you ask me about the particular problem I've got, I will say my country is my problem. If you aren't born with a silver spoon in my country, it will be somehow difficult to make it big on time, only if you are into fraudulent activities or non-legitimate sources of income.

    The inflation in my country is so high that you can think of committing suicide. This is because even affording what to eat is so difficult. So many times, I always pitied the married people in this economy. Like, how do you guys even survive at all?
    Not just the inflation alone; everything is wrong in my country. Being a graduate in my country is almost a waste of time. Most of our parents sent us to school because they wanted us to be successful in life, but believe me, it is so hard to secure a job after school. Even if you see a job, you will not like it.

    All the personal problems I've had were caused by my country. I wasn't really bothered when I finished my NYSC program because I knew I'd have a lot of things to do. I've got my business, and I can easily go back fully into it, and of course, if I see enough money, I will make it on time.
    But I can't just go back if I don't have enough money at hand. If I know I don't want to go bankrupt, I need to strategize very well before going back into my business. I wasn't even looking for work because I knew it was so hard to see it.

    My uncle tried to get me a job, but even with his connections, he wasn't able to because of how tedious everything is.
    Thinking about it all, I don't really go out of the house to avoid unnecessary drama and questions from the elderly people in my community. The fact that they do ask when you are going to get married or introduce someone to us is something that annoys me a lot. All these things cannot happen if I'm not financially stable.

    There are so many plans and so many dreams, but the economy and my country keep failing at everything. We are managing before the rise in the dollar. But now the case is so bad.

    If there is enough money in circulation and people can easily get whatever they want, then some of us will not even have anything to worry about. And we will do whatever we need to do on time.
    I know there are many in this situation, but I wish there was a problem to it because we are all going to have less to worry about.
