[quote=Anonymous]You’re right. It’s tough and things cost a lot more than they did a few years ago and they aren’t get any less expensive. This will be the new norm . You’re lucky you bought a home, with the way things are the idea of home ownership is out of reach for most Americans now. You will have to make cots somewhere if you can, and if you don’t have kids it would be a bad idea to have any. It won’t get better soon u til wages can catch up to the high cost of living. A lot of people will say “wages are outpacing inflation” but that’s just for the current month over month rate. So yeah this month or last month it may have, but cumulatively for the last three years they haven’t and costs are still rising, they’re just rising slower than they did a year ago. So the rate isn’t as shocking as it was because it’s increasing at a slower rates. Wages still haven’t caught up to the last three years.. What you’re seeing is the same thing most Americans who aren’t elites are seeing. I saw a video that was comparing prices at Costco for the same items and not only did it cost more ( a lot more) some items got smaller. My eating habits have changed, eat out less, no expensive vacations, not expensive food items and buy more discount food items. Shop at places like Aldi and get off-brands and if you need meat get stuff that’s more fatty as it’s cheaper and you can drain the fat as much as possible. For most Americans lien myself, it’s hard to keep up a savings account because daily life cost more than it did three or four years ago [/quote]
