a friendly advice is, ignore the news if you can't handle it right now. focus on your own life rather than the lives of others. Ironically, your concern is money but you wont be able to bring in any money if you collapse due to high stress and constantly living in a panic attack so chill out. Everyone should live by the airplane mask rule tbh. Put the oxygen mask on yourself first and then help others, or another way to put "How can you help anyone if you can't even help yourself". So focus on that. Stay sharp and healthy, so in case inflation actually gets bad (which it probably wont by much if you're part of the EU) then you'll be able to provide for yourself and your family.
Being a burned out stressed wrecked isn't helping anybody anytime soon, so do what you must to calm down, if you can't do it on your own, talk to your doctor.

God I’m having the hardest time focusing on my task, it just seems so inconsequential compared to the shit going on in the world.
Here in my own country we’ve got issues with the government and their desperate grabs at power, citizens rights being trampled all over as if they mean nothing.
Of course the conflict in Ukraine I can’t peel my eyes away from the Reddit world news feed.
The explosive inflation worrying about the cost of food fuel and rent.
Diesels not cheap, and the electric company wants to spike up the price of already over priced electricity by 10%.
I’ve got a trip coming up which I’m thankful for but it’s expensive and money isn’t getting any easier to come by.
I’m genuinely worried about what the WEF is attempting to accomplish and the amount of power they hold over the western world.
And with all that in my mind…. The work in front of me of updating this stupid game to modern standard and refactoring it to actually make sense and be maintainable… just seems so fucking pointless.
