Musings on increase in cost of living 


IS the rising cost of living something we should be concerned about? The increase covers food, transport, rental and almost everything in our daily lives.

I have noticed that some food outlets have reduced the size of their servings instead of increasing the price. However, it is unfortunate that the salaries of the working class remain stagnant or the increase, if any, is not in tandem with inflation.
