[quote=Anonymous]I'm reading the comments on here and I can say two things: 1. The value of my assets have gone up a lot. Value of house, value of investment portfolios. 2. The cost of living has gone up a lot. Since I pay for the cost of living out of income, not asset, I do feel the economic pressures. It seems like what used to be $50 or $100 is now $200-$300-$400 for this bill or that bill and there's no slowdown. Insurance, taxes, healthcare copays, utilities, groceries, car repairs, clothes, Christmas gifts, you name it. It's all gone up substantially. Definitely outpacing income. I keep saying this is just one or two expensive months, but the expensive months never stop and you realize it's now permanently always expensive. If I feel this with a comfortable six figure income, I can't imagine how people on genuinely modest incomes must feel. [/quote]
