The cost of living is the price we pay br for all those things we need each day br and when calculated over a period of time br works out to a figure that’s likely to climb. br And if our wants go far beyond our needs br we have to get paid well then for our deeds. br But if what we earn can’t match that pace br we’ll have to slow down and not lose face. br Or perhaps consider some additional means br to support what we take on as our routines. br br When our lifestyle doesn’t make a hole in our pocket br and the cost of living where we are doesn’t skyrocket br then the rate of inflation there is said to be low br so we can afford to buy those things we know.
