The cost of living is the price we pay <br />for all those things we need each day <br />and when calculated over a period of time <br />works out to a figure that’s likely to climb. <br />And if our wants go far beyond our needs <br />we have to get paid well then for our deeds. <br />But if what we earn can’t match that pace <br />we’ll have to slow down and not lose face. <br />Or perhaps consider some additional means <br />to support what we take on as our routines. <br /> <br />When our lifestyle doesn’t make a hole in our pocket <br />and the cost of living where we are doesn’t skyrocket <br />then the rate of inflation there is said to be low <br />so we can afford to buy those things we know. <br />----------<br /><br />George Krokos<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-cost-of-living-2/
