Who has money for other stuff

With inflation at 8 percent across the board..prices double every 9 years..from 1999-2008...inflation has been more like 3-5percent..but anything delivered on a truck which is alot of items have seen prices go up the most lately..

I feel like prices rose the for in this decade than the 90s but less than in the 80s..for those 3 decades combines..prices of gone up 400 percent according to Geoff so that means prices have been doubling about every 15 years on average..that means those $4 draft beers will be $16 in 30 years..will we be making 4 times as much in 30 years??? I hope..

....one interesting thing is that there has literally been zero inflation on 420 over the past fifteen years :grin:

I better be retired in 30 years. I'll probably still drink though I'm sure it will be lesser amounts

Almost ran out of money for other stuff. Got in an argument with my boss yesterday and hung up on him.

Not much comparison. Today is much more difficult. I was making $7500/year in 1974 when we bought our house for $34,000. On that my wife was able to stay home with the kids and we paid all our bills. Try doing that today.

Similar experience i was making 10 grand in 1969 when i bought my home and my wife stayed at home FOR 18 years with our 2 kids UNTIL my youngest went to college in Fall of 1987

I am a single income household, not married, not kids, etc. I have a mortgage and the typical cost of living expenses, but no car payment. I have some disposable/unaccountable income each week that I would not think twice of spending if I wanted something. For the past two months I have been watching what I buy and putting that money into savings which seemed to have been a good move so if nothing drastically changes with my job I should be in good shape for skiing this year.

Thank you all. I am thoroughly depressed now.

Just getting by by the skin of our teeth. Always have, always will.
