Inflation!!! Price Up!!!

Inflation..

According to Wikipedia, 'the word “inflation” refers to a general rise in prices measured against a standard level of purchasing power...(and)...Inflation is measured by comparing two sets of goods at two points in time, and computing the increase in cost not reflected by an increase in quality.'

Here goes.. Petrol price up.. Cement price up.. and now it's the price for steel is going up as well as other stuff that will/might go shooting up as a result (consequence) of these price height.

What has our country become in these few years? You and I hear from here and there that prices are going up. Needless to say, you do understand what I am talking about.

We have been living here earning our meager salary and trying to cope with all the things that are "price height". Not to think of buying a house. Even considering buying a car will post a headache to us with the salary that we are earning every month.

Now, with this price increase in everything around us, how are we to even think of buying things for ourselves, even shoes, shirts, shampoo, etc.

Can we demand that our bosses to give us a pay raise? (Dream On, Babe)

If not, then what were we to do to cope with the price increase, and any other "upcoming price increase" that will definitely be welcomed by those manufacturers.

What are we, as an ordinary (and I emphasize "Low Pay") citizen, to do with these? So, now, I need to strike out some of the items in my 'to-be purchased' list.

Ok, better do it now before I forget.. hahahahaha
