Why is life so hard now
Making money is harder than ever
I have noticed a gloomy atmosphere in the world lately. Social media is harsher than ever, people are so impatient, and everyone is less happier.
I think that the economic situation is largely at blame here - inflation is sky high, the competition is not reducing in exams & jobs, business is slowing down across industries leading to lack of hiring.
The interest rates are high, leading to lack of capital for companies, leading to rise in prices and cost cutting via layoffs.
In this situation, it is best for you to take the matters in your own hands. No longer can you depend on legacy institutes to save you.
You must have a way of earning money apart from your normal routine (study or job). Even if it is small, it adds a lot of confidence to know that you have a backup to fall back on.
You should have a high paying skill in your arsenal apart from your main job or degree, we have both seen how well that placement route has worked out for recent graduates.
The following four resources will help you acquire high paying skills - just click the link, enter your emails, and hit subscribe:

SimpleAI - Best way to learn AI & make money using it

Biber Analytics - Learn how to invest & trade in stock market
You don’t have to spend too much time on this, even 30-40 mins of daily reading, execution and consistent effort can yield a lot of effort in 1-2 years.
Now imagine if you put a lot of effort - you could change your life in a few months. This is what I did in my college as well.
I learned several valuable skills like writing, content, marketing, product, investing without knowing I was doing it. I was simply pursuing what yielded me results and my income kept rising.
Life isn’t hard, the way to succeed is slowly changing. 2010s was a time of easy money & jobs, now the easy money and success is still out there but the way of acquiring it has changed (AI, freelancing, audience building, investing, etc).
That was it for today, see you tomorrow!
