Answer 2

Only some people get depressed - most people know how to struggle under adverse circumstances. People with little money are the worst affected and everyone feels sorry for them . But no one can really save them. Govt. shows it is powerful, so does the Federal Reserve Bnk. But in practice they have not much clue and competence to stop inflation. They are powerless against the natural forces behing price movements. Inflation can come down on its own.

Best is to save oneself by own efforts: trying to get additional income, tighten belts, reducing consumption, cutting out non-essntials from shopping list, greater bargaining nd looking for cheaper sale points and months. For 10 to 18 monyths inflation can affect us after that it has to weake.
