Economic Crisis: The key to getting up is in us

Currently, with this alarming economic crisis, it is difficult not to think about how this situation will affect us as the days go by, preventive measures to prevent the expansion of the Covid-19 have caused millionaire losses not only at the national level, but globally. For what the State sees in desperate measures to be able to keep companies afloat, however we as citizens can also manage to resist and get out of this crisis without always depending on the actions of the Government, the situation is now different, and there is no turning back, so we must change our perspective on things. So it will only be a matter of how we plan our financial actions, so I present you some of the following financial tips.

In the first place is savings, perhaps one of the most listened to tips, but there are those who still do not appreciate its importance. Explaining to me, saving has become vital, even more so in times of uncertainty at work, where our source of income is limited and one never knows what will happen. A not so complicated action, it only requires taking a percentage of money and keeping it safe, it even benefits due to cuts in some expenses such as recreational activities, such as going out to restaurants, cinemas, among others, I doubt that they are already an option, so there is an opportunity for emergency backup. As it becomes customary you will be surprised to see the fruits that your small financial action will generate, one never knows when it will be time to use it, but as they say prevention is better than regret.

Then, as we know, most work activities of all kinds have been suspended, which has affected many individuals and families, and we cannot depend on the State providing us with economic support. We are not fortune tellers and we do not assure that the Government of the Peru can continue to do so as this whole issue progresses. But the reality is that the walls that surround our homes are not an impediment to be able to generate work to support ourselves, this crisis has brought with it a lot of new needs, so we can see an opportunity to undertake while helping others, because as lately our creativity has increased in this state of emergency. In turn, this job idea is further supported when online business and social media have been booming due to quarantine. But do not be confused either, that does not mean that it gives us the right to break the law, we must always take the appropriate measures, even with the motive of working we must always be responsible, always think of others.

Lastly, the fact that it is a health emergency does not imply that we should spend like crazy looking for the most resources, perhaps for the worst decisions by people when all this chaos began. We do not know what will happen tomorrow so we must be cautious, we must recognize our situation, plan very well what we are going to do with the money, and as I already said, we always have a small backup savings. We are involved in a situation in which we cannot afford to take things lightly, perhaps it is the opportunity to raise awareness about money, do not look for loans or more debts that at some point will end up hurting us, simply as we look for the most essential.

In conclusion, here are three tips that we should follow in order to overcome this economic crisis, measures that will not only last as long as the state of emergency continues, but will help us to rise up in the future. It's all about improving our perspective on things, accepting that everything is different now. To do this, plan your next financial activities well, prepare a life plan on what you will do, because it will take a long time for this country to recover. Because, if we want to continue, the secret to get up in this crisis, is in us, in our decisions.
