Are You Better or Worse (Economically) Now Than YOU Were 3 Years Ago ?

[protectionist]

Just compare your 2021 net income vs expenses, with your 2024 net income vs expenses.

There could be a variety of answers to this, but I'm guessing a lot of people will say that they are worse off now, because their incomes haven't risen too much, but their living costs have gone up enormously. Purchasing power has decreased significantly for a lot of folks.

 

[Crepitus]

Better. Why, aren't you?

Better. Why, aren't you?

No. Much worse. And getting poorer year by year.

 

[Crepitus]

No. Much worse.

I'm sorry you are struggling in this great economic time.

Should we start you a go fund me or something?

We are better off, but we planned it this way. You should have, also.

We are in a recession. It is the 3rd one since 2022 Q3. Plus there have been 2 quarters of below zero GDP.

While inflation has been 100-200% in housing & gas prices, Food prices also very high.

Who plans to have to pay $400 more a month in rent ?

And many people's rents have jumped much more than that (over $1,000+)

A true liberal, no real compassion for your fellow human beings, your true colors are showing, if you are better off maybe you can help instead of criticizing…

At 78, and multi-disabled, I am too old for employment. I've been retired for 16 years. I live on Social Security + a VA pension, and whatever paintings I can occasionally sell, from my online art gallery.

Wow! You should have bought, a long time ago. That sucks.

 

[Crepitus]

If you wish.

I ain't gonna donate to it, but ill set it up.

I need all your personal info though.

Probably none of you MAGA buddies will donate either. Personal responsibility and all that shit plus they already gave all their money to trump.

If they had any to start with.

 

[protectionist]

Lol, no.

What do mean, no? I gave you FACTS, not opinions.

Damn, I thought you were like retirement age? Why are you renting?

 

[MarathonMike]

Better. Why, aren't you?

So am I. The difference between me and you is I have empathy for MAJORITY of Americans struggling to make it through the week on what they make. Democrats just say HA HA sucks to be you!

Dude, your definition of recession is wrong.

Prices of homes have escalated a lot too. 100% in the Tampa, FL area since 2021. Ex. From $200K to $400K
