SEC17 WK:#4: “The effects of economic hardships on families”.

in Steem Kids & Parentslast month

Something beautiful here. Our Steam Kids and Parents friends have brought us a thoughtful contest with a contest SEC-S17W4: the effects of economic hardships on families.
Talking about family will never end. Moreover, their needs must always be considered. The impact of today's economic difficulties is not only felt in a few countries, but is felt in almost all countries. They invited us to talk about the impact of this problem on our family here. Big appreciation to all.

Difficult times, will they end soon?

Several years ago I became the father of my children. I'm just a retail player whose income only relies on my retail business. My income through this business is very good. My burden is also not much because I don't have many needs that I have to fulfill because my children are still small.

Currently it can be said that I have five heads and support my 5 family members, my wife and my children. Economic difficulties began to occur 4 or 3 years ago. This certainly had a big impact on me and my family. When needs increase with various things, baby needs because I have a baby, educational needs and so on. Not to mention talking to the needs of my daughter, who 3 years ago entered the faculty. While income is increasingly uncertain, my retail business, which is the only place I earn income to support all my needs, has felt the impact. People seem reluctant to spend money to buy a lot of things. They only buy things that are really needed, nothing more than that and this happens because of society's increasingly chaotic economic factors. My retail annual turnover is currently experiencing a decline of up to 80% compared to years when economic difficulties had not occurred. In other words, currently I only get 20% income every year compared to previous years.

Forced to make decisions that were previously unimaginable during this year's school season.

Three years after I was accepted into steemit through the task Achieviement 1. I never imagined that Steemit would bring me luck. My struggle and commitment to stay at club100 had to end due to my family's economic factors. My children are getting older, 2 years previously I had gone through something difficult by successfully enrolling my first daughter into one of the well-known faculties in my city. I managed to maintain all my efforts not to budge from my struggle and commitment. However, at the beginning of this year of education, I really experienced something very difficult. My second daughter will enroll in high school, one stage higher than the previous year's education. His choice also really inspired me. He wanted a school that was of higher quality than other schools in general. The choice is a boarding school where a variety of education is taught. Religious education is a priority there. As well as various other general education, Arabic and English are taught using the mandatory practice method of using these two languages while in the dormitory.

My daughter's success must have my support. I should not use the impact of economic difficulties as an excuse not to support it. Finally I have to make a decision. I have steemit, I hope steemit will support my second daughter's education to completion. I had to take a very hard road, I had to take advantage of Steem which at that time only existed in the form of Steem Power because I had been in Club100 for up to 2 years. I had to delete my account at that time, and that was a very difficult decision for me to make. My dream is that my second daughter gets the proper education she wants.

There are many things I want to say here for this platform that I am proud of. But I don't want to mourn.

This is all I can present in this post. Hope is a consideration for everyone. I will invite @ikwal, @munaa @muksa

Best Regards

Seeing our kids grow up and continue their education in a reputable school is our dreams. The economic hardships has come to rob off on us, making it impossible for us to fulfil these dreams. But you have risen above them all, pushing forward with what you have. Thank goodness that Steemit is here to help.

I wish your kid success in her new school.

As for your business which is only earning 20% profits, it is even good that you are still at profit level. Keep doing your best. We are hopeful that things will get better soon

Sir, when I heard your story, I felt sorry from my heart that you are such a good person, you have been working so hard for so long, and you have suffered such a hardship, and you have spoken absolutely perfectly about everything. Things used to be fine before Corona, when everything was going on normally, but now with Corona, things have become 80 percent more expensive, not according to the old rates, and the more you work, the more you take care of your children. I hope the three children you have are always happy and have a good life and take care of you because you have worked so hard for them.
