Permacrisis

Permacrisis is an extended period of instability and insecurity. "Permacrisis sums up just how truly awful 2022 has been for so many people”.

Do you feel on the edge most of the time worrying about your financial situations and other life situations you have no control over? Are you sick of being worried?

Are you looking for deals in the supermarket for food, have you curtailed your shopping list, or have started to micromanage your spending?
