RE: Inflation Pangs Feeling Like Unending Labour (and no way out)
I can say with certainty that prices are also up in Canada (where I live), The Philippines, (where my family lives), The United States (where I recently visited) and by large amounts as well. I can also say that the prices of low end cellphones are similar in Canada to what they are in Nigeria and Philippines.
Budgeting is super important to be sure. Cutting unnecessary expenses also important. Just as you said. Another thing I find useful is to find alternative, less expensive ways to do things.
Thanks for posting.

Thanks @Terganftp! It's unfortunate that the world took this path. The global unrest and conflicts here and there since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic is largely responsible for all these. But the leaders choose unrest, and we cannot change a lot about it.
While the issue of inflation is currently a global one, it bites harder here in Nigeria where getting a job (just a job and not even a good one necessarily) is almost impossible. But we keep pushing, thanks for Hive which has been helping in its little ways.
In many ways Canada is opposite but still having problems. Here food is still affordable but having a place to live is almost impossible. A small apartment will cost just over 1 Million Naira per month and a minimum wage job isn't nearly enough to pay that amount. So we can buy food but have no place to cook or eat it.
Also there are many jobs here with no-one to fill them. I want to retire and my job has been posted for two months now and we haven't even had one person apply for the job.
Different problems to be sure but life isn't easy anywhere.
