COPING WITH RISING PRICES/ WHAT YOU CAN DO

 Avoid making comparisons.  If you compare your modest lifestyle with luxurious one that someone may seem to have, you could become discontented, even envious. Moreover, such comparisons may not reflect reality. Some who have many possessions may actually be deeply in debt. Nicole, who lives in Senegal, says: "I don't need a lot of things to be happy. If I am content, I can be happy even when others have more than I do.

Try this. Avoid advertisements or social media posts that highlight the wealth or extravagant lifestyles of others.
