What you've said is correct, we should make budget, and accountable for the money we are spending. At this point in time, prices of commodities and services have increased, had we shouldn't just spend unnecessarily without plans, even if we have it much. Excessive spending brings about low income without planning. Even the rich go down on finance due to excessive spending. I've learned my lessons to make budget in everything I spend money on, to know how much I'm spending, to avoid facing financial degradation in the future.

When there is a recession, you have a couple of options:
Reduce your expenses: During the recession commodity price will go high, however, your income will go down. Even when your income does not go down, the purchasing power of your money will go down. You cannot buy the same thing with the same amount, it becomes a little more expensive. Therefore, you need to try to live with the same amount of money even if that means cutting your necessities.
Increase your income: During the recession, it is very likely that you will be laid off, even if you are not laid off, your paycheck will be cut. So, what you need to do is try to do some side hustle and make extra money. For example, after you come back from your workplace, you can try working on freelance sites or selling online even if means acquiring new skills and knowledge.

Recession and inflation are just similar, just that 'recession happens to be a state of financial degradation, when a country is poised on a major financial blow. Whereas inflation occurs when the prices of commodities, merchandize spring above expected tag. Both are just trying times, recently my country moved past recession and into inflation at the moment. That's not progress at all, that is way too backward due to lack of planning and improper manage of funds. I don't know how extent this gonna las, but I don't see my country moving out of inflation anytime soon, cos of wrong plannings with old folks being leaders with dwindled mentality. At this time, I'll manage what I have and cut down my expenses so low to survive the significant effect of inflation.
