[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A good steak is nearly $20 a pound now — it used to be around $10. We can’t even enjoy a simple nice meal anymore. Having kids feels financially impossible, and even with a bachelor’s degree, it’s hard to get ahead. I’m not saving anything at this point.[/quote]

So, take a break from beef.  Watch for sales.  Pork is cheap.  Chicken is affordable. Be creative.  But, I don't know where you shop, but i can purchase steak for well under $15/lb.  Except for tenderloin and that type of cut.
But, I can pick up sirloin at a reasonable price.

Of course, I grew up in a frugal household where steak was a treat--not a staple.
Beef prices will go down in a year or so.  There was some disease a couple of years ago that required killing cattle.  It will come back.

This. Americans need to stop shoving globs of beef down their throats anyway. Very unhealthy and treating the ensuing health issues is quite expensive. In some cultures meat is more or less a side or topping, and the people aren’t the size of blue whales. When traveling abroad, you can easily tell who the Americans are simply by their girth.

Americans were healthier 50 years ago when they ate more red meat, butter, and drank more milk delivered from the milkman.

If anything, the reduction of red meat  has led to obesity as carbohydrates have run amuk as the diet staple [/quote]
