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.

The future would be colourful and varied, with respect, empathy and communication being the main themes in society. The environment would not be filled with competition, beauty and perfection, but with the individuality of the individual. There would be a shift from materialism to minimalism, people would be accepted as they are. Society would want to address the ecological crisis head-on.
