COPING WITH RISING PRICES/WHY IT MATTERS

 People who have a realistic view of prices may find it easier to: 

. remain calm. When we are calm, we think more clearly and make better decisions

. avoid unwise practices. For example, it would be unwisze   for us ignore bills or spend wastefully. 

. refrain from arguing with family members over money.

. identify ways to cope, which may include adjusting prioities and spending habits. 

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Be willing to adapt. During periods of high inflation, it is wise to reduce spending, if possible. Some may try to enjoy a lifestyle that they cannot possibly maintain, which is like trying to swim against the current of a fast-flowing river! In the end, they just wear themselves out. If you have a family, you may also be concerned about providing for them- and rightly so! Yet keep this in mind: Your family members need your love, time, and attention more than anything else.
