Thats the reality.
My reality is this. I must live with 10 or less dollars a week. Just today I changed almost everything I had gathered here in steemit. And just about everything I change I will use it to buy a chocolate for the course. And other materials but it probably will not reach me. Inflation in Venezuela is horrible. Inflation is approximately 13,000%. It is incredible to try to survive here in Venezuela. It's not just for complaining but it desmotiva enough not to be able to buy what is needed.
I really hope that my posts can upload something. Because with what I generate Here is what I support myself with. And steem down so much affects me a lot.
Sorry to hear about your circumstances, but you can always flip it and buy more Steem while the prices are on your side and sell when the prices go back up. What is occurring in Venezulea is slowly going to happen all around the world, if the people let it. I think investing in crypto just adds more credibility to the currency, sets the stage for pricing to increase and improve people with your same set of circumstances. I hope your situation turns for the better. Great post!
