Here we are 4 years later. I guess his money is pretty safe, though it sounds like a big deal, if you don't think about it.

Yeah, Democrats are known for not thinking about it. Hows that cost of living today?

Our media and schools are doing a fine job of covering up the 2020 voter fraud. But even that can never cover the fact that Biden and his appointees are the worst ever. Back to MAGA

My cost of living is fine. What did you do wrong, so it is a factor with you? Of course, it is rare for me to pay as much as $3 dollars for a gallon of gas. A month ago, I bought a $579 Dollar TV for the back deck, for $427.00 and change, including tax. The Toro self-propelled, I bought, Monday regularly costs $469, but with sale, and additional discount dropped to $386.10. It had a problem. I returned it same day, getting credit at normal price, swapping it, adding two-year store warranty costing $76, walking out the door this time with a receipt showing total savings this trip $96.90, and they handed me a store card with excess money for the transactions, that I had not even spent. I used to be a purchasing guy, and was good at it. I buy intelligently, and live right. You should try it. Maybe inflation wouldn't be affecting you much, either.

I have done nothing wrong, but all those Marxists/Demofascist "retired" folks who thought that Social Security was going to make their lives easier, and now Joe Bribem's inflation is making their lives a living hell. And to think you Marxists/Demofascists were "For the People". NOT.

While no Marxist/Demofascist (whatever that is) I am a retired person and Social Security does life easier. This is not new. Were you thinking, all your eggs should be in one basket, so avoiding planning for your future, realistically? I know a bunch of retired folk, but none that adopted that plan. I guess if not into planning, you probably are not into other money management, like intelligent shopping either. I assure you, it is better to diversify planning of income streams and investments for retirement and planning purchasing, as if you were a business minded person, has a better likelihood of working out, keeping you inflation proof in retirement. But, failing that, bitching about 3.5% inflation, I'm sure makes you feel much better. You are obviously very young, not living through the 80s with inflation 3 times as high, and interest rates on homes in the low to mid teens. If you had been, you would know from experience this is nothing.

Well off Democrats have this attitude....I am doing well, too bad for you. Nobody I know anywhere is paying $3 for a gallon of gas....except, amazingly, you. And who is out buying tvs in this economy when they can't afford food for the family?
I know who.....the Democrat Reich!

I'm a Kroger shopper and not doing any daily commute, so do not have to fill up every few days, so always seeing discounts of 30 - 60 cents off/gallon. I planned well, worked consistent and still do. If you did and do, retirement is a sweet deal, I would recommend to anybody, as early as financially possible.

I do just fine myself, but we aren't talking about just me or you, we are talking about the majority of still sane Americanss who are trying to work and make ends meet. They aren't able to take advantage of retirement just yet and this economy is killing them.

It sounds like you're saying that you have to be very smart and apply a lot of judicious decision making and look for special deals just to approach what we used to be able to get without thinking much about it. Is that about right?

But they keep buying stuff.

Then whine about inflation.

The companies are still paying sky-high prices for the materials they use to make the products they sell, and the fuel used to transport the materials, and the labor they have to pay higher wages for. IOW, somebody will have to bite a bullet and accept lower prices for their goods and services, hoping others will follow suit and lower his costs as well. And that isn't likely to happen any time soon. Quid Pro is saddled with this one and he can't dodge it, fair or not.
