[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, 2025 is only two weeks old, so I can’t say anything particularly terrible has happened in that time.

However, I’m a small business owner, and I do believe the economy is a lot worse than is generally reported.  I don’t doubt the reports from people here who recently doubled their income and now have a $600K HHI, but I suspect that type of success is limited to a small number of jobs in a small number of industries in the big cities.

I think everyone else is finding things getting harder.[/quote]

I think this is off by a lot.  The economy is way stronger than we think -- Trump will take credit for what I think will be a 2-3 year very strong economy.  PP is not wrong on prices but wages have increased by a lot over the last couple of years.[/quote]

Wages have only really increased relative to inflation for the lowest paid workers. For everyone else, wages are at best keeping pace or growing at a slower rate than inflation. Given OP is a homeowner, they’re probably in that second category and seeing their money go a lot less farther than it used to.[/quote]
