The Russian war is affecting everybody, but let's see how you can protect yourself from its downside effects. Let's talk about that a more right now.

Hey traders, this is Andrew Mitchem here at the Forex Trading Coach for video and podcast number 349.

Russian invasion of Ukraine

Well, obviously the Russian invasion of Ukraine is getting massive international news right now. And it doesn't really matter whether you live in Europe and it's relatively close by. You may even be in Ukraine itself. And obviously it's a massive issue, or you could be in the US or South America, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, you could be thousands and thousands of kilometres away from physically being there, but it still has an effect on all of us.

Massive global inflation

Now, over the last couple of years, obviously with the incredible amount of spending that governments have done around the world through handouts and cost of COVID, there's all these massive, massive costs that have built up and there's not been so much production.

What we've obviously seen over the last sort of, well, part of this year so far, is inflation going to massive record level. And now you add on top of that, the issues that have been created with supply chains and oil and gas prices from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and you're getting like a double whammy.

The price of fuel

Now, I know here in New Zealand, the price of fuel is just going through the roof. I know I put a lot of fuel in the helicopter to fly. The price has gone crazy. Obviously, for shipping here, everything has to be brought in because unfortunately no longer do we make anything here. So everything has to be brought in. The cost of international shipping, not only the time delays, but the cost of doing it, is through the roof.

I talk to people in America all the time, their fuel price is getting crazy. I've talked to people in Europe and they reckon that it's now uneconomical for some people to put fuel in their car to go to work because the price has gone up so much. So all of this, the inflation cost, the cost of living, the fuel, all gets harder and harder to run your daily lives. Your cost of living. You pay your mortgages. Add on top of that places like New Zealand here, where we still have these ridiculous job mandates still due to COVID and people have lost their jobs because they've chosen not to get jabbed. So you've got so much spiralling out of control here.

What can you do about it?

What can you do about it? Well, you can go and ask your boss for a pay rise. Good luck with that. See how that goes. Probably not going to happen in many cases, probably not going to get the favourable answer that you're looking for. You could go and win the lottery, go and win a horse race, but it's not likely to happen. Is it? So the third way is what are you going to do about it yourself? What are you going to do to create a new source of income, a passive income, a side hustle?

Trading is one of the best ways ahead

And that's where it always comes back to me that trading wins hands down every time. Sure, you can go and invest in some property, but you got to take on more debt. You have to find tenants, especially if it's commercial these days. Not very exciting buying a shop in town in most places around the world with everybody online and not going to tow...
