I had a good run, so I’m not complaining. Paid the bills, made some solid investments and never had kids. I retired at 48 years old, though I’m back to work now, part time so I don’t have to hit into savings to pay the daily bills.
Can’t get out of the grocery store for anything less than $120. And that’s just the basics. Maybe a meal or two. Crazy times…
I have 3 dogs. Pet food has almost TRIPLED! The 30lb bag of kibble I used to buy for $20+ dollars is now $50+. I’ve started to cook for them to save some money. Thanks, Brandon!

I would NEVER have kids in this day and age, and I sure as h3ll wouldn't trust the school system.
I miss the 90's/00's, when gas was at point $0.99/gallon, Big Mac's were 2 for $2, Whoppers were $0.99, soda can's were $0.25 from the vending machine. I even remember when I was eyeing a new 2000 civic for $11K and the Si for $5K more. And making $100K/year was basically living like a king.
Side note: if you order your pet food online and curbside pick up at the store, you get a decent discount. What normally costs $80/bag for my dog food costs me about $55 when ordering online and curbside pickup. It is at least through Petco. |
