Lifestyle Check
Lifestyle inflation is the increase in the amount expended by a person to support their needs. Lifted from the economic concept of inflation in commodities, with lifestyle inflation, a person spends more and more for the same need as he progresses in life.
Lifestyle inflation per se is not necessarily evil. After all, we work hard so we deserve something better, right? YES. It’ s just that lifestyle inflation takes a dangerous turn when the rate of our increase in spending substantially differs from the rate of increase in our income.
It has been cited by personal development coaches as one of the obstacles for maximizing one’ s potential. As earlier illustrated, if the inflation is not controlled, it wreaks havoc on finances and daily incomes. A messed up financial life equals serious troubles in other areas. So before we get into serious trouble, here are ways to keep the inflation at a slow incline.
We all envision ourselves decked in better garments, lounging in better homes, living a better life. Hence, lifestyle inflation is normal. As we upgrade, keep moderation in mind. View your lifestyle from a higher perspective, seeing how it interplays with other aspects of your life. In every edition we cover personalities who impact on lives directly.
In this publication we focus on key pillars of our Life namely: Health, Food and Drinks, Family, Fitness & Lifestyle lastly but not least Entertainment. Trust our team to give the best of insights into the named areas both in the print and online edition- www. lifemagazine. co. ke.
Its Christmas season- a merry making time- but January loads as also fast approaching- with the unexpected KCPE early results everyone clearly understands the need to save for long life goal.
Living a great life costs less than we compute it to be- Merry Christmas and Happy New year 2017.
