You've probably seen or heard of those who live better with little. Sometimes it's as if we set life to a standard that completely chokes us. Come to think of it when comparing the prices of products and services in different areas. We have seen the economy dwindling in our very eyes yet I must add, what makes it look more difficult is in the geographical area we find or place ourselves. In our pursuit for a better life we've trapped ourselfs.
A friend of mine happened to travel to local areas within our state and came back with food items he had purchased, when he told me the price of everything put together I was astounded. To further proof a point, we had to reach the nearby store in our area to ask for the same commodity and to our greatest surprise it was worth three times the purchase price. We just had to ask ourselves one big question; are we living a better life or we"ve just encycled ourselves in a better trap.
Has inflation beat our economic system? Yes, is it really that bad? Of course not, I feel it's man taking(over taking is a more better word) advantage of the system to inconvenience another. No wonder he( my friend) has always told me there is peace elsewhere in the sub-locals instead of crowding where the expenses are unending. He has a point, cities and towns just accept price the way it is presented. Everyone here is after their jobs from morning to night and one of the most important aspects of proper and affordable food(basic need) supply is overlooked.
Just Civilized, no asset
If you try to give out the needed complaints you'll be looked at with contempt or assumed to be underclass. When you understand how numbers work, you'll hate to be robbed and a lot in the remote part of this country know little to nothing about this. I feel we in the town or assumed city are in big trouble, in the pursuit to live a remote life we are losing more than we can gain.
Most of those living in the towns are financially unsecured. This may be surprising but I've come to realize those living in the villages are even richer than those in towns. It is not mainly about how much you earn but rather how much is left after expenses have been subtracted. Life over here is paycheck to paycheck. Earning more and spending more is a rat race, more of living an unfulfilled life. Only those big business moguls and conglomerates take advantage of the hyped lifestyle as they keep supplying us with products and services to overspend on.
Drawing a proper and well followed budget is very difficult over here, just your health service alone may be enough to return you back to square one. Is this the life we ever dreamed to live? Pursuing flashy things yet stuck in discomfort. How many of us living and working in remote cities over the years can boast of a substantial investment? The challenge of overspending should not be overlooked if we wish to create our financial freedom
What the future holds
From here I would say it's difficult to correct the present fault. How do you restructure the minds of people to come to the reality that overspending is not an evidence of wealth, it's proof you are not in control, you are trapped in a lifestyle that is not worth it in the long run. I have seen people who work a good job and retire poor. They made cool money but trying to fit into the advanced world means they'll have to pay for products and services just as they are presented. The future is still going to retire more unsatisfied people from what I am seeing.

Only those who understand the mystery of money and asset
will prevail and as it stands, it's only a few who can boast of that. Financial intelligence comes at a cost of discipline and turning several stones to find opportunities. It always ventures into having more and spending less, giving you a hedge in extra cash or capital to invest in new projects. The middle class are in big trouble when looking at their spending habits, they undergo more of 'economic waste' expenses. How can one build a strong financial wall when all that comes in immediately leaves as if one is passing water through a funnel.
To conclude, let me add, advanced world living (or class as you may put it) is coming at a cost of financial squandering. There is a need to revisit our long term goals and see how close the possibilities are. One reason a lot we dream of is still pending is because of this trapped lifestyle we are undergoing yet fanning ourselves. If you can't cut costs and leave an affordable yet efficient life then financial deficiency is inevitable. We must try to understand what matters most in all this, we want a happy and fulfilled life yet this trap should not be mistaken for that better life.
