I am planning to be part of shared economy to combat inflation.

Although the official numbers around inflation is always available, I believe the number is actually higher. I could see the cost of fruits and vegetables compared to last year has increased by atleast 10% where I live. My income has not increased even by 5% this year. Net effect, is slowly but certainly things are getting expensive. One way to combat the inflation is to be part of shared economy. I have been part of shared economy by carpooling for some time. It did help to bring down the cost of travelling as well as on the car maintenance. But with the increase in expenses, I am seriously thinking of even letting out a room in my condo for rent. Co-living arrangements comes with challenges, but with the right people housing costs and expenses can be lowered. Carpooling ca also help in bringing down the travel expenses especially when public transport could be challenging at times. Do you think there could be better ways of combating inflation? Or do have any experience in share economy? Any thoughts?
