Necessities shouldn’t be a luxury

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

The future I imagine is one where financial stability is a reality for everyone, especially when it comes to basic necessities. In 2040, I hope no one has to worry about affording essential items like hygiene products, food, or healthcare. Today, even the most basic needs—like tampons and other personal care products—are becoming increasingly expensive, making everyday life harder for many people.

In the future, I want to see a world where these necessities are affordable or even freely accessible, just like education or public healthcare. Governments and businesses should prioritize fair wages, stable economies, and policies that ensure that no one has to choose between their well-being and their financial security.

I would like to see peace on earth. Countries helping each other instead of fighting. I would like to see the housing crisis sorted and that no one should ever have to be homeless regardless of their situation. A better medical system in Ireland where everyone is treated fairly and all on a countrywide healthcare system.

Since we are in 2040 . I want our future to be twice as good. To introduce some new ways to maintain the cleanliness of the environment and air. And that all wars be stopped and that we all live normal lives in peace and harmony. Most likely, it would improve jobs and increase pay and create more shelters for the homeless. She would most like to change the way she treats each other. To introduce better systems in schools and for children to have a carefree childhood. And as far as environmental pollution is concerned, electric cars should be introduced to reduce pollution. And more use bikes and public transport that would be among the cheaper or even free. I think that's all she'd change.

It's been 2040 and I still remember 2025. A year of turmoil over the war in Ukraine, price rises, anger. Anger in most people's hearts. I wouldn't have thought that 2040 would be a completely different year. We will have freedom for love, freedom for culture and stronger education for children at school on everyday issues. We have become happier, more understanding and less public anger. Our world became more beautiful, and so little was needed, just love.

Mental health issues are becoming more and more topical. In the future, already since kindergarten children, we have raised awareness of how to live a more fulfilling life by shaping our habits-sleep, nutrition, movement are balanced and ensure vitality and longevity, and there are skills on how to help yourself on mental health issues and notice the concerns of others.
