Personally the cost of living crisis here in the UK (And other countries) hasn't effected myself too much but I've definitely noticed the hit on food, fuel, clothes, products etc. Some of my friends on lower incomes have really had to cut back on going out drinking etc because of this.

So my question to you HF tell me your stories on how it had effected you and your families and friends, what hardships and sacrifice have you had to make recently.

I fear harder times are only to come.

everything here in my country now is triple price, and the salaries are still the same.

It hasn't affected me in the sense that I've had to change any habits. I never really looked at prices in stores, but lately I've been wondering if things like cheese and meat were always that expensive. Probably not. The only consequence for now is that I invest less money.

The cost of living in the UK, especially where I live has definitely gone up.

Food especially.. £2 almost for a bottle of drink lmao.

My parents gas/elec bill has 3x'd literally. They're feeling concerned.

Higher prices for energy, food products, fuel, higher taxes, apparent increases in the minimum wage, lack of state support for small and medium-sized enterprises that are the main driver of GDP. This is how, in a nutshell, I would describe the impact of the crisis on the lives of citizens in my country.

The cost of living has gone up where I live but it has not impacted me. I generally don’t notice the change unless I’m searching for real estate investments. I’m very thankful that I’ve been able to manage through the many issues of the world today.

I just paid $5 for a bottle of water. My rent has raised almost 30% since 2020. Gas prices tripled since 2020.

I only see it getting worse in the future. Buckle up.

Well rent went from 1300 to 2500 food has gone up 20-30% generally, my income has luckily gone up with the increase, so it's just evened out. It does suck that I don't get to enjoy the benefits of getting a raise/making more money.

In my country you can life your best for less than 1000$ !

If you are in a rent house , electricity bill and other bills will cost you less than 120$ a month, we have no tax here.

Living pay cheque to pay cheque, it sucks donkey balls. Trying to cut back on everything, disposable income a thing of the past. 3 of my siblings have very young children, which is a big worry.

Seriously hitting us hard at the minute, wife was laid off from her job a couple of weeks ago too.

Everything is so expensive on top of traveling costs.
Doing okay, but once the new year hits it is going to be do or die so it would be really nice if it just chilled out a little bit with the btc drops at the very least.

[iiFinance]

Eh not really, rent is through the roof but to mitigate the cost of living I just work more and have a couple sources of income...I'm still making enough money to where I am saving a few thousand a month.

[Seaking]

I went to the grocery store and I normally spend $200 - 220. It was $385 this trip. Things are getting crazy expensive. I'm thankful for getting a newer job that pays more, or I'm not sure how i'd be doing.
