While the Euro zone inflation hits a record 8.6% as the European Central Bank prepares for its first rate hike in 11 years, the rest of the world is also experiencing rising costs of virtually everything.

In the US, costs of necessities yet again skyrocketed in May, leaving the US with a new 40-year high in inflation. Think of gas, food, energy, rent, flight prices, and all other basic necessities. Households across the country are experiencing unprecedented pressures, making them less able to afford discretionary items like electronics or haircuts.

So it’s not simply you who can no longer feast on Starbucks lattes. We’re talking about lower-income and Black and Hispanic Americans, in particular, who are struggling beyond the point that should be humanly acceptable.

This thread also sheds light on how inflation is not only changing people’s habits, lifestyles, and daily choices, but altering their livelihoods. “What have you given up recently due to rising costs?” someone asked recently on Reddit, hitting very close to home for too many people who shared their very honest responses.

I get sort of warm with a hot water bottle and blankets. I'm making my own dog and cat food. Times are tough and they're only going to keep getting tougher. I don't have anything left to give up except for my medications that are keeping my alive. I'm terminally ill and only have a year or eighteen months left but this isn't living its honestly just existing. If I give up the meds it'll all go away but my animals keep me hanging on.

I've been doing a lot of traveling recently and literally everywhere I've been from Latin America to Europe, the Caribbean to the Mediterranean, has been cheaper to live. Not only that but their social laws are better, and there's an understanding that health care and access to affordable housing with amenities is a basic human right.

I'm currently in the process of acquiring my EU passport so I can have other options.

Bored Panda reached out to a single mother of two boys, who has been particularly struggling in this time of inflation. The woman who goes by the handle Particular_Special70 on Reddit said that she is no longer able to take her kids on any vacation or trips this year and it makes her very sad. She also shared her difficult situation in a response to this thread.

“I try to take them on some kind of trip or vacation each year and it's just not happening this year with high gas costs and high everything costs,” she told us. In a post shared on the thread, the woman wrote that it’s her “favorite thing to do with/for them once a year.”

According to the mom of two, the fact that the family can no longer afford a vacation has to do with the fact that groceries cost almost double what they did just a year ago. “My electric and gas bills have been more than double, so the money I have to save for a vacation is non-existent,” Particular_Special70 explained.

To live alone in my city, in a decent apartment in a normal location, it would cost 50 to 70% of my salary (and that's just the rent). I'm lucky to have an amazing roommate, I hope she doesn't move out soon.

The positive thing is that you can do quite well without meat for some time. On the other hand, it's perfectly valid to want to treat yourself sometimes and not being able to because of money is not fun.

I miss Disney+ and Discovery+, but the good thing is they're easy subscriptions to cancel and start up again. At this time, youtubers who ask for "donations" and beg people to join their patreon are special type of cringe. Especially the ones that don't really do much of anything of real value on their youtube and their patreon. (Why should people have to pay just to watch an upload a day earlier with some not so funny outtakes, and "shout outs" we all know are attempts for upstart youtubers to get their channel noticed.) *end rant* Sorry, but it had to be said.

People Are Revealing Everyday Things They Had To Cut Back On Due To Rising Inflation, Here Are 30 Of The Saddest And Most Honest Answers After three years of trying for a baby, with one ectopic, one chemical pregnancy, and two failed IUIs, it seems like I need to start coming to terms with the fact that we just cannot afford more fertility treatments. Insurance doesn't cover a penny. With the prices of everything going up, how can I afford to spend $1k in medications alone (for one cycle supply) for another IUI? If we decided to do IVF, it would cost us around $12k. It would be worth it if we knew either treatment would work, but there's no way to know that. It's heartbreaking. I had to call up the clinic to tell them we are sitting it out for now.

This is so heartbreaking, I'm so sorry OP is going though this. Also, anyone commenting about adoption should stop and realise that every couple with fertility problems has already thought of that option. They don't need to hear it from you, it's not really addressing their struggle and you are not being supportive. It costs you nothing to show some compassion and understanding to those less fortunate than you.

People Are Revealing Everyday Things They Had To Cut Back On Due To Rising Inflation, Here Are 30 Of The Saddest And Most Honest Answers I've found that freezing and meal-prepping as much food as possible saves money. If you can dilute what you cook with water or a cheap ingredient, you can add more seasonings to help with the lack of flavor. Half of my meals are now either rice, beans, chopped salads, and soups. If you also cook with more seasoning and spices, it keeps leftovers from spoiling as quickly.

I've learned to dilute frozen fruit juice. Now that we've not been buying as much cola and ice tea, and all that really concentrated stuff I've realized how much sugar we desensitized ourselves to. Getting over that sugar craving hump I can barely stomach the thought of drinking super sugary drinks anymore. Been losing a lot of weight too, I think.

The meat industry is also killing the planet, Beef being the worst offender. Americans make up 4.125% of human population, yet consume 11% of all beef produced globally. We've been hearing about this for decades, yet the only thing that seems to curb appetites is a drowning economy and rising prices.

I wanted to cancel it so bad in pure protest but I need it and use it a lot so that's not an option. And I know it's still cheaper than most. Still feel its totally unreasonable to raise the price that much at once.

Will be taking my hair extensions out in the next few weeks (nano rings) had them for years and they make me feel so confident because my hair is thin. (£70 maintenance per 8 weeks) I just can’t justify it anymore. I’ll have to accept my natural hair for the first time in my life.

I no longer get my nails done, and I use boxed hair gloss instead of getting my hair dyed at a salon. It doesn’t cover my grays or look particularly good, but it’s a tenth of the cost of hiring a professional to balayage my waist-length hair:(

Waist-length? That's an accomplishment in and of itself. 👍👏
