Inflation sucks.

But the brutal truth is that most people love complaining. If it’s not one thing, it’s another. Nobody is content or grateful. You can see it all over — people complaining about costs rising while their wages stay fixed, as if companies also don’t experience inflation.

The greatest threat of inflation to individuals who make an above-average household annual income is a threat to their lifestyle.

When that happens, the complaint choir begins. People go into shock as if they don’t know what to do other than complain. But it’s difficult. It is never pleasant for anyone to make sacrifices after living a comfortable life and tying their self-worth to materialistic things. It’s like being locked out of a house you’ve lived in for years. You’ve gotten used to the luxuries and comforts of your home, and now you have to start from scratch. It’s a feeling of loss, even if the situation is a necessary step toward a better future.

So, instead of complaining, let’s all fight back against inflation in some way:

1/ Eat less: This one will piss people off, but it’s true. Most people can eat far less food and survive — even thrive.

2/ Stay healthy: Exercise, eat nutritious food, and do everything possible to avoid doctors.
