Stop hoping on the government and move on.

[0t3p0t]

It was become obviously alarming and a setback that people who hoped on what the government could do for them ends up a wasted time.
Self reliance is the ultimate in the present economy challenges. Even, the government would still await you to become rich so that they could place taxes on you.
They government acts like the Financial revenues aren't worth enough for infrastructures that could create employments or how the masses can benefited.
Then I'll believe you that it's being hopeless to rely on the government if you want to have a better life.

That is why it is important for us to rely on ourselves we need to aquire skills and hone our own creativity on things so that in times of trouble we will still survive even if the governments aid will arrive too late especially in an emergency situation. One goal here is to achieve financial freedom most of us are dreaming of so we are independent no matter what will happen.

If we will have to get to some particular stages in life where we may not have to depend on our parent anymore, then why should we have much priority over the government over taking our own responsibilities for us, if they manage and try to do some, then we are lucky to be part of the beneficiaries because not everyone will receive equal treatment or opportunity when we are considering dealing with the masses allover the country, we need to learn on how we can also be self dependent to an extent.

Very good point right there mate. Especially if we are living in a thirdworld country I don't think it's a good idea to rely on government aid as per my experiences here in my country it's not that good. Self reliance would be great and keep you moving without any assistance but just like what you said if we are chosen beneficairy then it's just a bonus.

I assume that we are living in the same country hence, I will agree with what you said that it isn't that good... or I should say that I don't know if it is that good or bad because I'm not relying on it at all. For me, if there's something that will come to the government, I will gladly have it whether it would be food or money etc. but relying on what they're giving just to survive is a no-no for me. Relying on them and you will be disappointed.

Honing a skill is a way to go. I'm not promoting freelancing here, but for me, it's one of the best ways to achieve financial freedom. I'm not saying that it's the only way because there's still business and real estate, but having one skill lowers your chances of relying on our government.

No matter how hard you work for your survival if government sucks everything out of you in the name of taxes then you will still be left with nothing so it's not really right that we can make changes on our own. On individual level it's possible but for a society only government can bring the right policies that supports the development that's needed for the society and then only we as a community can get better.

But what's the point, they won't do it though.

There are somethings that government we do that can ruin your hope of doing better and there are somethings government will do that will help you grow well as an individual, government are to provide a working environment in other for it's citizens to work and make a living for there selves, for example if there is insecurity in a nation how can it citizens go out and work, so is the duty of the government to provide a safe environment and also provide the basic things that one needs in life such as road, electricity, good hospitals, good schools etc.
When a government provide a good policy to support the citizens they will do very well, the citizens of a nation also the the support of the government in some certain things.

If the government has provided everything needed for us to succeed is now our duty to make sure will succeed, some people wants the government to do everything for them but it doesn't work that way and one needs to buckle up or face hunger and failure.
Some countries today an individual are has created more job opportunities for it's citizens, even the government also need our help in other for the nation to grow.

If we came from the same country I think that is the reason behind the similarities of experiences we had especially the treatment the government to the people relationship which has this gap due to irregularities. 😅

Well yeah freelancing is the new way to earn good salary here in our country I personally know some people earning six digits out of that sector. I also found some of them in a subreddit sharing their experiences and flexing their salaries as well. 😅 I also wanted to become one but I don't know where to start my only problem is the stability of my electricity and internet that is why I only join signature campaigns for now collecting enough money to invest in a more stable and independent setup.

depending on the government is one of the most accurate actions towards a better life, where if we depend on the government it will make us even lazier and moreover our lives will not progress, standing still in one place, different from if we try to achieve prosperity in life without government assistance, be sure that your life will be better

[Agbe]

It's useless to rely on our government we must be self-sufficient the government can do so much, but the government, especially in a third-world country cannot help you to alleviate your situation in a third world country so many politics are corrupt that the funds that should be allocated for the people are being divested.
If you're poor and you just rely on the government the politicians will just use you.

Absolutely right, the government has showed us countless times that they don't care about us, they are only there to enrich themselves, thank God for the internet and the opportunities it brings our way, many people have made millions from crypto trade, forex , content creating and so on, who needs the government if you can get benefit from any of these? People need to wake up and stop making silly excuses about the government not providing jobs and find a way out

I saw a great change in my self and my finance after I embraced my entrepreneurial calling,  I don't have to depend on the government or my parents to archive my dreams in life. I keep working on my self alone before I was able to get to the level I am, I will keep working on my self for a better me because I know that depending on someone can be time wasting. When we keep depending on something, it can possibly delay our progress.

[Gurujebs]

I don't know why this topic sound like you are discouraging your self to ask important questions. You can't say people should not hope on the government when it's not like they are been force, they are called to serve the people and are basically there to serve the people, failure to do so will have it's consequences and that's accountability to the people.

No matter how wealthy you are, you can't have money and expect to enjoy it without good roads, you can't enjoy the life without proper health care system and also good schools. Not everyone can afford good private schools you know and many of them had the same opportunity when they were just normal followers,why not do the same for people.

[Crwth]

Why would you even think about that? If there is a way to not Rely on it, I believe that is where you would not rely on anything from the government, but since you are living in a particular country and you are paying taxes, Shouldn’t it be considered as something that you want To be reliant on?

What happened to you, OP? Do you not want to rely on it? I know it is impossible, though.

[Hatchy]

Hmmmmm.. well, I agree with the fact that relying solely on the government does not lead to personal growth but I do not think we should completely lose hope in the government. Governments can still create environments that enable opportunities, especially through policies that support innovation, education, and entrepreneurship. But still on still, it is ideal to take up personal responsibility and work hard but I believe there is a balance leveraging what the government offers while also focusing on self-driven progress. Relying on both can create a more greater and well rounded approach to our success.we all just need to work towards it together and when i say us, i mean we and the government.

Of course a man should be self-reliant but environment and circumstances force man to be dependent on others. As we are able to express our opinions through forum sitting in our homes but there are many communities in the world who are deprived of every basic facility and the government of that country has many limitations to reach them basic facilities. For people living below the poverty line, collecting only food is difficult and other benefits are far away. If your area does not grow any crops or has no other food supply, you also have to wait for government grants. I think no healthy person wants to be dependent on others as circumstances force him to be.

The strategic concept to better living nowadays that the governments are syphoning every perspective opportunities is that we should adapt to keep the laws but stay hopeless that the government would help you and began to do your usuals and living your comfort zone to face different dimensions of life be lifes prosperities is about networking and hardworking and thriving undistractedly.

For those that have lived longer must have had the experience than those that came after them. The government is no more an institution to depend on if you really want to make it far in today’s world. Most of them are after their selfish interest and when you try to change them, they hide over the masthead bring the second part of them after successfully voting them into the seat. It’s very important for everyone to make the right choices early in order not to fall for government scams, too many unfulfilled promises keeping the hope of a common citizen high is not what we expect from them.

We keep hoping that they can do something and things get better but it doesn’t. When you now found the days back, you might have passed the age that you would have been more active and made better choices for yourself. No one is there for you. It’s just you against the world and it’s better you make the right choices soon.
