It’s becoming increasingly hard for myself and my family to survive in this economy. Myself and my family are teetering in the edge. I hope there’s some relief soon. I lost my job back in 2021 and went I to business for myself. 5 years ago under Trump’s economy I think I could survive and grow without a problem. Now… a trip to the grocery store costs $500 and running up cards left and right because our two incomes combined still isn’t enough. That doesn’t even touch on all the other things like our healthcare going up etc. 3 kids… I am praying people will make their moves soon to take this thing back and get it under control. I don’t know how much time I have left. I wish there was a relief opportunity for those of us who know and trust the plan to get by until it’s fixed. LoL
It’s becoming next to impossible for myself and my family to survive.

Have you been talking to God about your situation? I’m not saying it’s not hard for us as well but God has changed my perspective on abundance lately. I’ve been changing my mind and doing more from scratch which is cheaper. Foraged elderberry and made canned juice which I can sell this winter. Just trying to live more like my ancestors. Studied depression era cooking and tried some simple cabbage dishes and potato dishes.
I will also pray for you and I too hope something happens soon but we may have another year so we need to buckle down and make do.
Does cabbage and potato have all the nutrients required to sustain health?
You must have fat to survive. The demonization of fat is wrong on so many levels. Anyone that has either been in a survival situation or studied for them knows that fat and protein are a must when surviving. Potatoes are high in starch and carbs and some vitamins/trace minerals, cabbage is less helpful, but good for fiber and other trace minerals. You can survive on them, but your health will suffer and your immune system will weaken if you don't get other sources of vitamins, minerals and proteins and fat for an extended period. I would not recommend a long term reliance on such a limited variety diet. It may be beneficial for a couple months (depending on your current diet), but it isn't sustainable indefinitely.
Not indefinitely.
Probably not but you eat what is available.
Kept the irish going through the potato famine
