Nowadays, most of people feel stressful of inflation. It makes people’s life become more difficult. Students suffer the most serious consequences because students often depend on supporting from their parents. Some of bad effects are standard of living, studying, and transportation.
First, the higher inflation is, the lower students’ standard of living is. Inflation makes students difficult in their expenses. Prices are increasing every day, but parent’s salaries don’t increase. Then students’ expenses are also limited. A good way to save money is that choosing the cheapest food such as noodles. How can students keep their health while they eat noodles during the month? For example, 2 years ago, with 20 thousands dong, they could prepare for a perfect meal with fish, meat, egg, and vegetable. Nevertheless, now it can’t do. They only have a frugal meal- only with vegetables. At the beginning of each month, some my friends often buy many noodles to eat instead of rice. Hence, some of them aren’t healthy enough to study. Moreover, inflation makes the entertainment services’ price rise strongly. Students no longer have more chance to relax. That causes to make students easier to stress. After a hard-working week, they want to fresh their mind. So they want to join some entertainment services and “Dam Sen”, “Suoi Tien”, “Thao Cam Vien” are some their destinations . However, the tickets are expensive, so they chose to stay at home with no relaxing services instead. We can see clearly that increasing prices have bad effect students’ health.
Inflation also has negative affect students’ studying. As we know, inflation causes the rising fees. Some students have to delay or stop their studying because they can’t afford to pay fees. Last semester, a credit cost 55 thousand dong, but one costs 70 thousand dong this semester. That means it rose 36.6%- a high rising percents which has bad affects to students. Besides, some students find a part time job in other to solve this problem. Nevertheless, they spend too much time to do part time jobs, which make them not to be enough time to study. Or other students work the night shift. They can’t sleep enough so they often drowse or can’t concentrate on their studying. With this method, students not only can’t solve their problem but also their studying become worse.
Not only face to the increasing food’s and fee’s price, students but also face to the rising of transportation price. Most of students decide to go on foot instead of bus or motorbikes to save money. Excepting for some students live in dormitory, students mostly live far from their universities, so buses and motorbikes are the best choice. However, tickets bus and petrol price also are increasing rapidly- from 16.600 dong increase to 19.300 dong and the bus ticket rose more than before 1 thousand dong. If we total all money spend on moving by bus or motorbike in a month, those are the big money. My friend say that: “I’m very tired because of walking 2 km to school under sun shine, but this is a good choice to save money”. Moreover, inflation is also a reason make the train and coach tickets increase. Students who study far from their families can’t afford money to buy the tickets. So instead of coming back their hometown to reunite with the family, they have to find a work to earn money in their holiday. Last month, a ticket of tour from Ho Chi Minh City to Phu Yen just costs 130 thousands dong, but this month it increases to 150 thousands dong. My bother say to me: “the ticket price is so expensive, this summer I will do part time job and study. I miss my family so much but I can’t come back”. That is a big disadvantage; however students seem have no choice.
To sum up, students have to suffer a lot of bad consequences because of inflation. It decrease the quality their standard of living, studying and limit the transportation. So the government should have some effective methods to decrease inflation to the lowest level in order to help people’s especially students’ life have stable life.
