Inflation sucks.

But the brutal truth is that most people love complaining. If it's not one thing, it's another. Nobody is content or grateful. You can see it all over—people complaining about costs rising while their wages stay fixed, as if companies also don't experience inflation.

The greatest threat of inflation to individuals who make an above-average household annual income is a threat to their lifestyle. 

When that happens, the complaint choir begins. People go into shock as if they don't know what to do other than complain. But it's difficult. It is never pleasant for anyone to make sacrifices after living a comfortable life and tying their self-worth to materialistic things.

So, instead of complaining, let's all fight back against inflation in some way:

1/ Eat less: This one will piss people off, but it's true. Most people can eat far less food and survive—even thrive.

2/ Stay healthy: Exercise, eat nutritious food, and do everything possible to avoid doctors.

3/ Save rather than spend: Stop buying crap you don't need. Simple!

4/ Enjoy the free pleasures: Get outside. Explore a nature trail. Visit a park.

5/ Sell excess and buy used: Sell what you no longer need and opt to by used for certain things instead of new.

6/ Cancel unused subscriptions: This is pure waste. Cancel things you don't use. Focus on fewer, better things.

7/ Create more value and don't get fired: Don't expect a raise without generating results or taking on a higher-level position.

Inflation hurts, but life is just as enjoyable when you decide to put your money to better use.
