As the pandemic continues to affect the economy, many Kenyans are struggling to make ends meet. According to reports, the number of job losses, unpaid leave, and salary cuts has been on the rise.
Published on April 23, 2020, this article offers valuable advice on how to survive during such difficult times.
One of the most effective ways to cope is to avoid unnecessary purchases. Make a list of essential items and stick to it, whether shopping online or at physical stores.
It's also essential to resist the temptation of borrowing loans from friends or taking out mobile banking loans. Instead, rely on your existing resources and be frugal.
Shopping in bulk can also help you save money, especially on household items. Additionally, consider improvising and finding creative ways to reuse or repurpose items you already have.
Finally, don't be afraid to ask for help if you're struggling to make ends meet. Reaching out to friends or relatives can be a lifeline during difficult times.
