I can't remember the last time I joined the market Friday challenge, I've been going to the market to get food items and all but I just didn't want to bore us with an article about it. However, today I am here, all thanks to our dear @dswigle for the awesome #MarketFriday by @dswigle challenge, which allows everyone to share photos of a market they go to, just anywhere that you pay money for a service.
Things are getting hard these days but as believers who trust God, we have faith that the more expensive things get, we will still be able to spend comfortably on our needs.
Someone posted a joke on their WhatsApp status saying that if any lady is searching for a husband, the place she should go find one is the fuelling station and she recommended that any lady that will heed the advice should make sure that they go in the evening then come back later to thank her.
I don't know if other countries are currently experiencing the issue with fuel. one would go out as early as possible to get fuel only to return after 3hours because of the long queue.
I haven't gone to the fueling station so I haven't experienced the stress of waiting in the queue till it gets to your turn, however, each when I'm on my way going out and coming back in, I see vehicles and humans queued up just to get fuel. From the hubby's update yesterday, I got to know that the price for a liter of fuel has doubled and now those public transporters have increased their price too, we now pay double what we usually pay before, I now know what's causing it but it's getting out of hand. The cost for transportation has increased, the cost for food items and everything has increased and the source of income isn't increasing, which way do we go?
The day I went out, I stopped by a store where chairs are sold, I wanted to get a chair for my makeup business.
I asked the seller for the price of the first chair and he said that it's was8, I asked for the price of the second and third chair which he said were $62 and 64 dollars respectively. After he had told me the price of each of the chairs, I didn't know how to start pricing it because it was way so above my budget, I had no option but to just leave the store, telling the seller that I was going to come back another time, till today, I haven't gone back.
The chair is important but the resources aren't there and it's worse because the economy of the country isn't helping.
All I keep praying for is that no matter how the economy turns out to be, I shall be sustained. So like @dswigle would say, and just like that, this post is done.
Here is a flower for you ma'am.
Thanks for reading
