[quote=Anonymous]Better buy now cause it'll only get higher.  Not sure how you've all just noticed the hike.  In Winter this year u noticed how much dining out was.  When a bowl of pho is $14-17 everywhere, that's a prob.  A sandwich has been hovering at $20 for lunch now at many casual restaurants.  Spending $30/pp for a casual lunch with a soft drink and meal + tax and tip is standard.

It's super hard to give up daily lux though.  Eating out is not just lux and hoping for deliciousness as it's just more convenient when you lack time and energy.  You know - cause you're too busy working to afford to live!!!

I really do think the wealth gap is coming to a head.  We will be seeing much more of the have/have nots and pretty soon it's less just dining that's going to be the prob.  Everything is going up because everyone needs more money so travel, entertainment, clothing and housing - it'll all have to go up because people will need the profit for themselves to live.

I imagine a country where many will be very unhappy.  More violence, fraud, suffering.  But it'll be distinct- some will be fine as if you have a high paying job and savings - life will still be happening with the multitude of options that abounds in a capitalist society.  You just have to be one of the lucky ones. [/quote]
