We live in such a fast paced world; such a world that almost demands we purchase often what we can't afford, and inflationary figures that are out of this world! It's getting harder and harder to make ends meet wherever you are in this world!
Everything you stated is so true but unfortunately, I don't see a real solution to it all. It's like we are on a hamster wheel and can't get off!
One thing for sure; slowing down would help some; maybe not all but some as it might produce time that could be better spent on raising some of the food we consume to help in that quarter. There are just so many issues in today's world, that it's hard to figure out which one to tackle first.
Thank you for sharing and have a lovely day!
