1. Find something that you can do that doesn’t need you to import but to produce with local materials
2. Find something that you can be exporting
3. Dont sell any of your assets now.
4. If you have kumusha buy cattle now and keep especially if your home area is not hit with the drought
5. Downsize. If u have a car downsize to a smaller and more fuel efficient model. If you are renting full house downsize to a smaller house or change suburbs.
6. Dont do things for prestige. Send your children to a school you can afford
7. If you have space grow vegetables, breed chickens (and zvihuta!)
8. If you are renting but have a stand elsewhere move to your stand. Build something basic and go stay at your stand. Forego luxury living
9. If you are married dont fight over money. Hapana hapana. Put your heads together and think of survival tactics instead of fighting and accusing each other. Not everyone can sell things or be a vendor.
10. Be at peace! This is important. Stress levels will go up. They are already up! Dont be a victim of things that are not under your control. Speak to others and pray with others.
11. If you are not married, hold on to your peace
God bless you.
