The cost-of-living crisis will hit, us hard with rising energy prices and increasing costs. However, things aren’t totally hopeless.
Accountability (责任心)
The cost-of-living crisis will force us all to prioritize what we spend money on.
Item exchanging
We generally tend to spend more in the cold months. And when you have an entire household of people to provide for, the cost can quickly add up. So imagine how much money you could save by acquiring some items without spending an extra penny. Don’t be shy about asking those you are closest to if they have an extra blanket they no longer use, or a toy they are about to get rid of.
Information sharing
The best thing about a community is the wealth of knowledge. You might not inherit a pair of shoes or a cardigan, but you could get essential money-saving advice. From the latest government support available to where to shop for reduced items, those in your community may hold the key to crucial financial help.
Cooking together
Banding with your closest friends or neighbors to prepare and share meals works well for small communities.

F.However, exchanging things they no longer need will occupy lots of your space. |
G.As prices increase, keeping more of our cash for the bare necessities will become vital. |
