Is anyone else getting nervous about the cost of living

I remember the recession from 2008 and that was though. I was ok. I continued to work but it was hard at times.

Todays world seems to be so much more harder. I am dreading the winter and what's in store for the winter ahead. Is the cost of living all down to the war in Ukraine? Its horrific. I was hoping things would be resolved by now. Russia is an absolute disgrace to be so greedy to want to bully to take over another country. Its so mindless. We are all bearing the brunt of it. Working harder for so much more less. I am working out a rough budget for the month ahead and I am ok but it's going to be tight in parts. I was going to but a dress that was on offer but I decided against it. If I am making this decision to there's probably loads more doing similar decisions. It's going to lead to a lot of unemployment and I am dreading to see what the next few more months will turn out.

I'm going through a hard time right now where I need to consider my options and change jobs and it's so daunting. I am so nervous.

Have to admit I'm getting apprehensive with all that's going on. At the moment we are financially ok but I worry things could change in the blink of an eye. I will certainly be shopping around for cheaper insurances when due and I'm trying to be more regulated with my spending.
