People are not heaving money

I'm sitting on a chair sunbathing in the backyard. Today is cold and windy a lot. Last night I went to the kitchen to get some water and my father was pensive leaning against the counter. I asked him why he was thinking and he told me he was thinking about life. My father has some debts and this has him worried. Our city is very small and in Brazil in general people are not having money. The labor supply has decreased and the cost of living is very high. Everyone is feeling the impact of inflation. I hope my father's retirement letter comes quickly so he can calm down. He is a very restless man when he is in debt. My mother also saw a readjustment to her cell phone plan. She said that it is very expensive and the most irritating thing is that the operator does not communicate anything about the readjustments. When you pick up the invoice, you see the unpleasant surprise. I think this is a huge lack of respect for customers.

Sunbathing but the weather is cold and windy? I don't figure it out.

Brazil is a tropical country. Even in the cold we usually have sun. It doesn't get as hot as it does in summer, but we have a little bit of everything.

I hope things work out for the best for your parents. Being in debt must be a huge burden. I was in Brazil years ago and saw the poverty even then in some areas.

Brazil has all the resources to be an economic power, but it is hostage to the corruption of its rulers. Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher said on a visit that Brazil has everything to be prosperous, but it does not have strong and efficient managers despite being large and having so many resources. At the time, she still mentioned England, a small island with a strong economy because of the rulers it has.

@Aiana18 Brazil does have so much to offer, but I agree with you. It’s a shame.

No good man ever likes being indebted. I hope he gets his retirement soon.

Sounds like horrible living conditions and for a variety of reasons. Yeesh. I count my lucky stars life is not like this for me. I hope he figures out what he needs to.
