Even working people are struggling as their income covers less and less. The inflation reduction act has me scratching my head as to how we were going to reduce inflation through more federal spending. This is a large part of economic health.
Bet if you look closely enough at the inflation complainer you’ll find they have thousands of dollars worth of tattoos and piercings/rings hanging off their bodies, own homes they can’t afford, have vehicles they can’t afford and have 3 or more kids they can afford along with the two to three dogs they need to feed. I witness it most every day.
I retired this year at 59 without having a college degree and for 30 years I lived within my means. I never bought a new car. Owned two homes.
I’ve made 100k in the last 6 months. No tatts or nose rings.
