Are You Struggling?

 Would you like wearing your gray dress for 100 days non-stop? OMG! I couldn't believe that somebody had just did that and she was a teacher. I happened to read her story and I first thought she was struggling because of the cause & effect of pandemic but actually it was just sort of  a "fun way of wearing the same gray dress over and over again for hundred days in school where she works." She probably washed the dress when it gets dirty and smelly and then wear it again the next day until she completed the 100 days. Maybe it was some sort of fundraising or there was a reward after or could be sort of a public protest or grievances, whatever?

Look at the billionaire Mark Zuckerberg who wears his gray T-shirt day by day for the past 10 years (?) until today, he wears the same colored gray shirt. Maybe he owns thousands of the same color gray T-shirt. He cannot be wearing one shirt all the time for the rest of his life, eh? That's his uniform I think at Facebook.

While some people changed their clothes and underwear everyday and changed their PJ's as soon as they woke up in the morning. People changed their clothing every time they took a bath or shower. While few of these people who changed their clothes 2-3x per day is a matter of the type of work at home and at the workplace. If you are a cook, definitely it's not only the apron you must changed and replaced. It's good that cooks and chefs have kitchen uniforms. Some workers have clothing allowance provided by their employers, yeah those lucky ones, the men and women in uniform who are fully clothed from head to toes provided by their wealthy employers. 

Clothing is necessary especially in cold places, in coldest regions of the countries with 4 seasonal (climate) changes. You bet it is more expensive to live in countries with 4 climates: winter, spring, summer and autumn. Jackets, coats and winter clothing are very costly and cleaning them is costlier than buying new ones, well sometimes. You don't wear much clothing during summer. lol. But still is appropriate for anybody to keep yourself fully clothed or you'll be impounded. j/k. 

Millions to billions of people are struggling. There are many ways in which you can save with your clothing. Either you transform your clothes to something else, for example a dress can be altered into new skirt and new blouse. A long A-line skirt can be altered into a dress or squarepants. A pair of long pants can be transformed into 2 pairs of shorts. A large scarf can be transformed into trendy fashionable tops. There are many ways to choose from in giving a new life to oldies. It's better to have lots of food on the table than having to purchase expensive clothing. You cannot eat your clothes. You don't have to suffer and struggle with the basic needs. I know, the money intended for your clothes become the money for face masks. Expensive face masks!!! Some face masks are more costlier than the dress you like to buy at the department store. Some people might just cover their face and head and just walk out there naked as a public protest or outcry.

Learn to conserve electricity. You don't have to share your hydro for free and feel the burden of paying for their consumption. Is that bad? They must pay their own bills. You don't have to share your wealth when you don't have it. lol. ha ha. Just be you. The reason why millionaires and billionaires are wealthy it's because they are stingy. So we must follow their path. Weird eh?

Some people are stingy (kuripot) and they don't buy the same kind of  goods that you bought. Just like you they also want freebies. BUY DISCOUNTED ITEMS. Nothing's wrong with buying "SALE" or goods that are tag with discounts. You have to economize. I wont buy clothes or dress on regular prize except if I really, really like it. As a matter of fact, I will wait for that dress to come on sale as in 50% off. Struggling? Nope. It's being economically WISE.
