    It's not clear what you're referring to by "every place". Does that mean a place to live or does it mean a place you want to go? It would make a difference in the answer.

    Mean like 'every place just in the city or state that I live in"- that couldn't be fit all in that question box.
    So may have to type rest of needed information down here then.
    Or may type the question in the detail box instead the next time.

    Yes, there's usually plenty of space for what you need to write.

    Prices have gone up and even doubled for some things in some places. Without knowing the conditions of your location and surrounding area where you are or what your personal, individual circumstances are, it's difficult to answer your question.

    The first thing you should do is research what's available in you area. Talk to people, find out what they know; drive around or have a friend drive you around. If you're locked into a lease and can't move, cut back on whatever you can. Get an extra part time job.

    It makes this situation more difficult to address when it "sneaks up" on you when you're unprepared. As soon as you can get yourself a modicum of comfort, begin real preparations for the next time the economy or your personal circumstances take a turn for the worse. Whenever you can, whatever you can, put money into savings. It doesn't matter how small you start, it will add up.

    There is no trick to successfully surviving bad economic times. The boring, simple solutions still work the best. This post was edited by NYAD at February 21, 2023 3:51 PM MST

    If the price of food and things are so high at the grocery store that's in my area that which I just go to, then I was think of to actually work at that grocery store-buy maybe find-out how much they pay per hour before I get to work there?
    If someone say if that's not a really good choice for that, then the other option I will list, is:
    1. Find a good farm place to work at
    2. Go to & start working at what place that someone told me about try doing some work there that starts at spring, perhaps near summer, that which someone did dish washing there that pays that person like $9 an hour.
    3. Work on more drawings on paper as if I draw really good pictures, & give it to a person who really want that when finished, then see how much that person will give me for that drawing.
    4. Go out & offer help on doing the other neighbor's outside work - I have cut the other neighbor's grass using my lawn mower, then I got paid $20 just for cutting their front lawn!
    5. Go to a casino place & hope I win really big from the first trip of casino!

    But you can tell me which of these suggestions are good, & which of these other suggestions not good/bad ?

    You have done your homework! You have talked to people! You have some good ideas there!

    There is no magic bullet to living in an impossible economy. Getting an extra job is place to start. Instead of your list of suggested employers, start with the nearest to where you live and the best pay. Transportation time and costs should be taken into consideration.

    Forget gambling even if the casino is next door, but if it is, a job there may be a good idea. A nearby super market job would also be a useful PT job where you could keep an eye on the best buys, find products that are cheaper than what you normally use, and possibly get an employee discount.

    If you still have the time and strength for artwork or yard work, you can do that also. Keep in mind that it's not a steady income like steady part time at a Walmart, a Burger King, or a supermarket (or combining two or more of these). I was once unemployed for three years. I combined office work through a temp agency (daytime) with a snack stand job at the local arena (day or night). I even kept the job at the arena after I got a full time office job.

    Good luck!

    I don't know if I will work at a store soon or later, but I may start on doing more different art drawings, then at spring/summer, then I may go out & ask one of my neighbor out there, & ask if he would like me to go cut his grass there-good pay on this one! & go out to other place & do some farm work, or work at Omega's restaurant-gardening outside/vacuuming & wash dishes in the (restaurant), but not sure if I can do both.
    Any other suggestion different yard work I can do for him if that's besides mowing his lawn?

    Don't buy things unless you absolutely need them. That's the best way I've found to save money.

    Wouldn't you would think of a way to buy many more good things & to pay small amount in total of all these items?
    See how can we would really do it!
    Or to see if there would be a way to produce so many different things/products just all in a short time? Don't really know how would this be possible yet! This post was edited by DannyPetti at February 23, 2023 7:53 PM MST

    Shopping around, going to thrift stores is a good way to save, too.
