@viva_d_diva: The recession indicator series sparked a much bigger conversation, and many of you asked me to keep going. So, we’re expanding the discussion! Welcome to the Depression Indicator Series. 🌎 I’m opening the floor to creators and everyday people worldwide. Share what you’re noticing in your communities, whether it’s recession warning signs, economic decline, corporate greed, or concerns about a potential depression. Tag me in your captions or comments, or send me a DM to be featured! Different countries, different experiences, but there’s so much we can learn from one another. What’s your personal sign of recession, depression, or corporate greed? #costofliving #economy #inflation #money #debt

Started doing regular gig work last year. Was able to cover everything finally. I’m making 1/4 of what I did from it LAST YEAR. No exaggeration. Either other people are doing the same that much more &/ people are buying that much less. Just a 1 year difference. This is completely unsustainable.

Clothing stores having self checkouts like Primark H&M ect buisness are cutting costs by employing fewer workers and also making them do do more work thats supposed to be for 2 people and you still get the same pay as when you were doing half the work

it's becoming more and more regular that we must have 2-3 jobs just to get by. my worst indicator was that my paycheck was gone within 15 minutes of being paid.....

Hi viva! Love your content. My personal recession indicator was getting my period this week. My first thought was “I can’t afford to have my period”.

I love watching this series. I'm in London (UK), I've stopped buying pretty much everything I used to buy in supermarkets. Food prices are increasing overnight.

the lack of good/ fulfilling birthday rewards. i remember when bath and body works years ago had it where you could get a free full size body care item for free. now it's a free travel size item WITH A PURCHASE. also qdoba had it where you could get a free entree on your birthday. now it's just free chips and queso

I can’t get another job, I don’t have any money left after I pay my rent, I haven’t brought myself new clothes in half a year, I don’t get my nails done anymore, I gave up on trying to save, I’m so depressed.

South Africa - I used to garden as a hobby for fun now I'm pushing my garden to get as much out as possible. I offered free pepper seedlings in my community WhatsApp group and 20+ people responded within minutes

Thank you for reviving the series! I would love to see some Australian and New Zealand clips in the future, because things here are just as shitty as the rest of the world right now.

When I had my eldest child I was 21, unemployed, a student, my partner (their dad) was in a minimum wage job. We were better off then than we are now 10 years later. We could afford to live, went on holidays, had lovely days out and had money spare at the end of the month. We are now both in full time employment, well above minimum wage (we are both in management roles, me within local government and my partner is the senior operations manager for a successful fitness company). My wages literally don’t cover my bills anymore, we can barely afford to eat some months, and holidays and days out are a distant memory. I’ve got into a lot of debt just trying to afford Christmas and birthdays. I don’t have a car because I can’t afford it and my partners car is virtually free via his company. It’s absolutely insane tbh.. when I was a child a family with two working parents in fairly well paid jobs would be living a brilliant life and would have a decent amount of savings in the bank too. But now we barely avoid using food banks. Every day I wonder what the point of being alive is tbh because we are both working all the hours under the sun and yet we can barely survive let alone live and enjoy our lives! I wouldn’t have chosen to have children if I knew this would be our situation 10 years later, it’s not fair on them or on us!

I admire the lady that dropped her insurance. I don't live in the USA, but I understand that it is getting more and more difficult to get any coverage when you need it, so why pay at all? Maybe if more people did that, they would change their model
