[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't deny everything is more and more expensive. Seems like each week the food bill only goes up despite buying the same general basket of food each week, and, no, we are not buying processed prepared food either. Health care costs keep going up. I went to a podiatrist to look at a small callous on my sole that I thought might be a plantar's wart. 10 minute visit and a slight scraping of the callous resulted in $150 charge even with health insurance because ot was $65 for the office visit plus $85 for the "treatment." Only to find out I didn't have a plantar's wart and just a small callous.

Everyone is nickel and diming everything. Everything. There is no escape. [/quote]

The nickel and diming is key. It is everywhere. I am so sick of seeing convenience fees, technology fees, admin fees, welcome fees, experience fees and myriad other bs reasons to tack on 2% here and 1% there. Plus hotels not making up rooms unless asked, extra for this and that. F it. I’ll stay home and finally read the entire the Years of Lyndon Johnson series.[/quote]

Yes! It’s the paying more for less and little added on fees at every corner that are driving me insane. It’s not that we can’t afford these thing, it’s that the value doesn’t feel like it’s there and businesses have made their greed so apparent that it’s a turn off. Travel is booming, but I couldn’t get my room cleaned and had to beg 3x for more clean towels at the beach this summer (at a big named hotel chain). Every restaurant bill has some random fee I’ve never heard of. And I’ve priced compared household items I bought just 12-18 months ago and they’re 30% higher (sometimes coming in smaller packaging). Just ugh! [/quote]
