Tips To Fight Inflation

Inflation has been on news recently, in countries, around the globe. You should try the following to stay informed and reactive to this occasion

* Don't take a longer vacation. When you come back, you'll be shocked to learn the commodity prices, especially food and gas

* Talk to your friends about inflation. If he or she didn't show any interest, probably he or she is suffering from multiple personality disorder

* Often, talk to your wife on how to control expenses. If she agrees, praise her in front of her Mother-in-law. If she disagrees, praise her mother-in-law. If she keeps quiet, probably, You are already dead, similar to what happens in The Sixth Sense movie

* Kids bring-on expenses as well. Teach them the basics of finance, and then ask them to pick between a spider man toy and $20 bill. Kids are smart, they'll pick $20 bill. If they didn't, then better find a good teacher

* Local community Housewives should form a club and plan to share expenses such as movie rentals, coupons, etc. This will help to develop a community that is inflation proof. But not sure, the club will be politics or gossip proof.

* You'll not be surprised to know that everyone blames the government for inflation. Nowadays, the governments are so smart that they point their hands to globalization, Ahhhhngg, what to do?

* Gas price is skyrocketing. Why bother commuting to work everyday by car? Ask you manager for work from home option. If your manager says yes, probably he is a nut. If he says no, working for him, kick yourself in the butt.

* Milk is healthy but price has soared so much in the recent past. Introduce ration system at home. A member of family cannot drink more than one glass of milk. If he or she wants more than a glass, no breakfast or dinner for them
