Volochkova, Loza and Rashkin told how to survive on a “rainy day”

Alexander Sokurov. HRC member, director:

– I am a pensioner from St. Petersburg. The other day I received another receipt for utility bills. I lost consciousness, I still can not come to my senses. So the coffin money will make me spend.

Stanislav Sadalsky, actor:

– It’s pointless to hoard. I already saved up in the 90s, collected 100 thousand – I thought it would be enough for a lifetime, the state robbed me. Then I started to collect the currency, now the accounts have been arrested, I can’t get anything. I am warmed by the proverb “mysteries are not rich.” Live today, here, now, as Stanislavsky bequeathed.

Dana Borisova, TV presenter:

– I had a financial cushion of about 4 million rubles – a little in shares and in a good account, which I did not bother. And I had this stability for a long time, I was calm and confident, but with the start of the special operation everything changed so much, there were many times less filming. The summer was terrible, without work, in fact, I spent all my savings on my parents and daughter, so the financial pillow for two months terrifies me. Life has changed this year, but I adapt to everything and try not to wind myself up.

Anastasia Volochkova, ballerina:

I don’t have black days. Every day is bright and festive.

Alexey Kortnev, singer:

– Well, it directly depends on how long the “black days” stretch. I think that our large family will have enough savings for six months. In any case, during the quarantine associated with the pandemic, my colleagues and I spent exactly six months without work at all. And nothing, they did not go round!

Semyon Altov, satirist.

– If the day is really black, savings will no longer be needed.

Yuri Loza, singer:

– As a person with a higher economic education, I can say that it is absolutely wrong to keep money in money. The condition for the existence of any economic system is the movement of money, but if the system remains stable for a long time, the money supply begins to accumulate under the mattresses. In order to raise this mass, crises and devaluations are arranged. That is why I do not keep any big money in reserve, but either buy something necessary, or help someone.

Dmitry Potapenko, economist:

– Today it is “zero”, tomorrow it could be millions. I need a little for a rainy day, I’m unassuming. Another question is how much my children and my family will need. Tens of thousands of dollars may be required. I have two elderly parents, mother-in-law, wife, three children. The key question is how do family and friends feel? Now the black day is far away.

Lev Gudkov, sociologist:

– I personally would like to have a resource for 5 years of monthly expenses.

Anatoly Wasserman, State Duma deputy:

– I don’t accumulate: it’s easier for me to earn.

Svetlana Zhurova, State Duma deputy:

– I save money every month so that I can spend it on vacation, buy what the children need for sports or if someone gets sick, and charitable spending. And I never borrow or lend! Therefore, I save like Plyushkin. I must always have a stash! I have two sons and a mother. I am the only breadwinner in the family!

Nina Ostanina, State Duma deputy:

– Probably, I will surprise pre-configured critical readers if I say that how I relate to the same 40.5% of Russians who live only on a salary. Moreover, realizing that most people have not only “black days”, but months and years, we, Communist deputies, donate 30% of our salary to the Party Fund for Assistance to the Population. With this money, we have been sending gumconvoys to the LDNR for 8 years already, helping low-income families, our veterans.

Although all this should be the business of the state – from the amount of pensions and scholarships not less than 40-50 thousand rubles. – up to a salary on which the whole family can live, and not survive. The solution is simple: nationalize natural resources, introduce progressive taxation, so that not only communist deputies, but the entire parliamentary community of the country pay 30% to the budget, while exempting teachers, doctors and everyone who receives less than 70 thousand rubles from income tax. And to begin with, print out the funds of the NWF, which, according to the government, were intended for a “rainy day.” It seems that for the authorities it has not yet come, but for the people it has not retreated for the third decade already.

Andrey Tumanov, ex-deputy of the State Duma, editor-in-chief of the publication “Your 6 acres”:

– No matter what number you name, you still can’t guess. And if you guess, it’s still not enough! But if I had the opportunity to save money and calmly store money, 10 million would give me confidence in the future. Although they would bring another concern! Any collection of stash – it’s always a loss of a part! Thanks to the same inflation… Hidden and recognized.

Valery Rashkin, ex-deputy of the State Duma:

– No matter how much, on a rainy day it will not save. No matter how much money the citizens of the Russian Federation have, these funds will still not be enough, because a rainy day is a huge black abyss of no one knows how deep.

To avoid a rainy day, a different socio-economic course is needed, justice from power structures is needed. We need to stop slandering the people and give the opportunity to develop business and our economy. So that the courts do not abuse the telephone law.

Our country will be saved from a rainy day only under socialism – there is simply no other option. We need peace above our heads and freedom, then a rainy day will not come, and if it does, it will pass quickly.
