For me it’s more like this:
Be glad that you’re still ahead. Absolutely beats trying to catch up with him lol
I almost got away this year, but then my work took away 401k matching. There goes 3% :copium:
Taco Bell bean & cheeese burrito used to be 0.99 not too long ago. Now it’s 2.50. A box a oreos at the grocery store was 2.49, not its 6.49 (and thr package holds half the cookies now!) Crazy.
I understand things are cooling off. But that just means the prices won’t continue to rise so fast. The prices aren’t going to come down I don’t think.
The most frustrating thing is that there’s no reason for this. Yes, we’re seeing some inflation, but for some reason corporations decided that now was the good time to accelerate shrink-flation and price gouging. I’m so over it. I’m basically trying to replace everything that’s mass produced at this point because I’m tired of being taken advantage of. Everythings so expensive now that I can source groceries and goods locally for the same price. I hope more people do the same and it bankrupts all these shit mega corps.
If you’re looking for a hobby 3D printing is a pretty great way to take stuff into your own hands. Hydroponic towers, car parts, stuff around the house. The list really goes on with it, I just printed new tires for my Roomba, sure they’re only $10, but printing them cost me a few pennies.
Same, not to mention all the subscription services went up so I’m canceling a lot lately.
I spent a good few hours last month just going through all the online subscriptions I don’t need. It came out to almost $200 a month. That shit can add up fast!
So true, it’s more than cable was costing me, but cables probably gone up too.
I was thinking of Spectrum for Dodgers games, but it sounds like they want to make that a separate package now… The worlds going to hell in a hand basket with monthly fees, I think I’m going back to the high seas at this point.
