  Post-pandemic world has thrown up several challenges, such as, high
inflation, low growth, high debt, collapse of economies, political instability,
job losses, lowering of income in addition to damages caused natural disasters,
more convincing attributed to climate change, apart from existing inequalities.
Efforts are being made to mitigate these challenges at various levels. To the
best of the knowledge of the author, most of the prior researches have focussed
on specific scenarios, use cases, inter-relationships between couple of sectors
and more so on optimal policies, such as, impact of carbon tax on individuals,
interaction between taxes and welfare, etc. However, not much effort have been
made to understand the actual impact on individual agents due to diverse policy
changes and how agents cope with changing economic dynamics. This paper
considers progressive deteriorating conditions of increase in expense,
degrading environmental utility, increase in taxation, decrease in welfare and
lowering of income with recourse to inherited properties, credits and return on
investments, and tries to understand how the agents cope with the changing
situations using an agent based model with matrices related to savings,
credits, assets. Results indicate that collapse of agents' economic conditions
can be quite fast, sudden and drastic for all income groups in most cases.
