calculate everything












0















I would like to know if a phrase is correct and if not, how I could express it correctly, because I am not sure that it sounds ok:



Nowadays, with the financial crisis, we must calculate everything.



Does the phrase we must calculate everything make sense? Is there a better phrase to say that we calculate all our moves and all our expenses? Maybe, it could be we count every penny?



Thank you for your help.

  • What do you mean by "all our moves and all our expenses"? Personal budget management? How is/was that affected by the financial crisis? I don't understand what you're getting at there, so I for one can't see what you might mean by "calculate everything".

  • I mean that we think very carefully before we buy something, especially nowadays. Because the income is low an the expenses are high due to the general financial crisis (economic recession is more accurate to explain what I mean? Sorry about the inconvenience, I try to be as clear as possible)

  • Pensioners have always moaned about everything getting more expensive. Probably because they're thinking only of the prices in pounds / dollars (which obviously rise because of inflation). But most people are working, and on average wages have continued to rise slightly faster than inflation in the decade since the crash, so on average people aren't getting poorer. In short, what you're trying to say probably isn't "true" anyway. But how exactly you phrase your (misleading, imho) statement is really a matter of opinion.

  • ...having said that, here's a chart showing that two of the most well-known expressions for this context (count the pennies, watch every penny) have been about equally common for the past 70 years.

  • I find nothing wrong with the sentence. It's certainly understandable. Although I'll note that provide your own alternative phrasing in your comment: Nowadays, we have to think very carefully before we buy something. (Whether that's better, I couldn't say.)
