I think there are many in this condition. Jobless. Hopelessness about expenses and responsibilities. 

Most find it hard to save 500 rupees each month. Most have a monthly package of expenses exactly matching the amount they earn.

From school until graduation, educators taught us all the concepts according to the syllabus however not a single teacher told us that money is important, save it. 

Most people have stress about the money in this pandemic as no one was prepared for a shut down of their payrolls. No one prepared them to have an emergency fund.
