..So today was quite uneventful 
but I can't complain...so far I'm still alive, the grinding continues..
..checking the books today was a total buzzkill though... between inflation and things being crazy expensive, my cash flow is seriously taking a hit
I’m hustling with online gigs and my offline grind, but it feels like I'm spinning my wheels..I'm spending more than I'm making
My head's totally spinning trying to figure out how to stack more paper
. Anyone else feeling this kind of financial crunch right now?

I am concerned about being able to assist my relatives being able to buy groceries and pay the bills as well as paying my insurance bills.

Nowadays, living is not easy. We have to make wise decisions on our spendings. Hoping that we all can survive the crises.

Yes, I'm still unemployed and there's not much work available online. I've been producing more artwork, but nothing has sold. People just don't have disposable income like that.

I think many are truly struggling and it's so sad. We do everything we possibly can think of to do to cut back on expenses. We eat at home, we combine errands with appointments if at all possible to save gas. None of it's fun or easy, but most of us are doing just that, trying to stretch every cent we can.
We just have to keep on trying, but you're already doing that. I hope it gets better for all of us.

I think it's that way with a lot of places. The economy has everyone struggling. We have so much debt, it isn't even funny; a lot of ours is medical debt. I feel like no matter how hard some of us work, we'll never be able to climb out of the hole, because it seems the second we clear some debt, something else happens, and we have to go into debt again. Life is expensive, and life events can really break the bank.

As soon as I get ahead, something happens that requires me to spend money.
