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.

Godspeed to you and your family. My family and I are in the same situation as you. We are self employed and sales are slowly tanking and I expect to see things drop more We are currently working on a “contraction” plan for our business, as both of us work there as of now. We have set a lower limit on sales and once it’s hit, we both start applying for jobs elsewhere and first on to get a job leaves our company and other stays on board to continue it, as we have clients and employees that need support. We’ve also begun to search for jobs when we are not “open” or outside our business hours to help boost our position. Selling unwanted things, contraction of supply orders etc. very mindful and strategic. Also, as employees leave we aren’t replacing them. Remember, you are creative, intelligent and strong. God always opens a door when one closes. Don’t lose faith and don’t be afraid to ask for help. Ask churches, community organizations, perhaps reach out to a competing business with yours and offer your skills to them for payment and opportunity to continue in your field of choice
"don’t be afraid to ask for help. Ask churches, community organizations," This 100%. At times we're in a position to help others & at times we need to be the ones to ask for help❤The latter can be very difficult, but please consider seeking/accepting assistance as a future gift to another since you'll be passing it on when you're able.
I hope that people aren't to proud to ask for money and food and shelter for their family. A man especially. There's so many homeless.
