Tax made life more difficult.

Inflation is a striking as badly and because of that the price of all necessary things has been increased a lot compared to the past time. Buying something in a reasonable price compared to the past has become difficult. The condition of the economy is not so good and for the general public it's quite difficult.

My mom was complaining that she didn't use any brand new smartphone anything. Either father used the smartphone and later gave it to her otherwise she used the one that I used earlier. She has the right to complain. She usually use Facebook and YouTube and she didn't need high performance for it. So, this time we decided to give her brand new phone. Even we can afford to give her midrange smartphone, she strongly restricted to keep it below 150$ or less than it. She just don't want us not to spend too much money for smartphone.

I thought it's okay because within the 150 dollars finding a decent smartphone is not so difficult. Actually I am not in touch with news of smartphone in recent days and I didn't know what changed since last year. After going to shopping complex, I was checking what smartphones are available within the budget. Surprisingly I didn't see any smartphone for show.

I asked if there were available smartphones within 150$. It was surprising that most of the shop didn't have smartphone below 150 dollars. It was surprising to me because in the past I bought smartphones with decent quality with the same price. I just didn't check updates in last 10 months and the change of price was unexpected.

Later I figured out the reason of such a high price. The government of my country put an additional tax few months ago. I heard about it but I didn't expect that could increase the price of smartphone so much. Finally I bought a smartphone named "Infinix smart 20". My little brother using the smartphone of the brand and his smartphone is quite powerful as he brought it half year ago. And that one was born cheaper price compared to the one I bought it. This time I paid more but performance is not close to that one just because of inflation and high tax. Honestly I feel that I should not give tax to the government when it's too high.
