Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77610953 No way people can continue in a half descent society without enough money to keep food on the table. It’s going to break soon. I don’t see things bad for 2023 I’m seeing it as now, this year! As our leader just sits around sending money to Ukraine! I even owe the irs and can’t pay it! Wtf and I supposed to do??! IRS will put you on a payment plan, don't put it off, or they will burn you to the ground. Ask me how I know. Yep I’m just ignoring the envelope with the April date in it with the amount I owe on the inside. I will call tomorrow :( Sorry they messed you up too :/ Plan to be on the phone all day, my wife has been trying to reach them over a matter for her father, just keeps getting a high call volume message and then a hang up, one day she finally got through and the person went to transfer her and boom another hang up! This has been going on for a week! would rather have it & not need it then need it & not have it |

BRIEF
User ID: 79662918 United States 05/11/2022 05:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: BRIEF I love that Kroger now delivers...I don't have to drive to the store and load and unload groceries a dozen times! I never run out of groceries now!! Brief you ol racist gay bastard, what's new in the psych ward? My five year old grand son is learning bike tricks and jumps from me...I told him his bike to weight ratio is too close for him to do a lot of things I can do, but he is impressive! What's new with you troll/liar?? Sounds like a fun day ya'll having. I'm sitting in my beach chair under an umbrella- watching the waves roll in. Yup, life is good I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked. |

Butters User ID: 80876100 United States 05/11/2022 05:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I know how you feel OP. I have big medical bills I can't possibly pay. They will just have to wait. Quoting: Paranoiaaaaa Food is getting ridiculous. Some say eat more veggies, but those are expensive. Even store brand frozen veggies have almost doubled in price. I have grown things in buckets before at my apartment, but had to throw them out because the dumb assholes that take care of our lawn sprayed them with poison. Gas went down after the initial increase, but it's more back up again. Things are going to get tighter. I am sorry you have medical bills just sitting there too. It does cause stress because it’s always in the back of our minds. And yes the price for even frozen vegs is outrageous! I have a $25 dollar a month cell phone bill I’m going to let go! I really need it but it’s something I can learn to live without. Yes things are getting tighter and we have to make adjustments. But damn this sucks! Yes, those are just the hospital bills I can let go. I have to pay copays at my kidney guy up front. It may be only $30, but with more than one appointment a month, it adds up. Plus there's medication. Its stuff that I need to live. It's going to end up being a choice between meds and food, which I know a lot of seniors have had to do.

He's 70 and he thinks we will all be dead by this time next year. He's a widower and a liberal. He hates Biden now after all this Ukraine shit. He's got Biden in same category as Trump now. He thinks both groups are crazy and want to kill everyone! I talked to him yesterday and today. Never saw him get so worked up before. Hes very smart, summed it up there. |

User ID: 13660796 United States 05/11/2022 05:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | u obviously arent good at budgeting Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71585302 your staple foods the foods u eat the most often should come from fruit and veg that costs a few dollars a kilo its as simple as that That's not fair when inflation is 8.4% last month. You don't know this person's situation! My husband has an hour commute to work and gas prices are crazy for us. Luckily we are not low income, because I've been low income and can see how this could absolutely crush someone who is. All I know to say is buckle down, and don't vote for people that do s*** like this to us. As an older person, I know that the government gives with one hand and takes with two, so don't expect or want any freebies because they will rip you a new butthole if you get anything. |

And I don’t tell anyone so I’m sure there are other families suffering in silence also! This is fucked up! What the hell is to come? If you have anything spare each week, even if it’s pennies, put it aside and save it up to buy heirloom seeds or seeder potatoes so when you have enough money saved you can plant some vegetables and start growing, I have no idea what I’m doing but I am saving for seeds and decent planting soil, once you can afford the seeds buy them and keep them in the freezer until you have enough for the potting soil, don’t buy pots use empty drink bottles, egg trays anything you can before they are ready to be planted out, growing is new to me too, I wish you luck but as long as you have the seeds and freeze them until you’re ready you’ll be ok. Everything you can grow yourself you don’t have to depend on the stores. It’s trial and error so make sure you have enough heirloom seeds, the others are modified to only produce for a limited time. If any one reads this and I’m wrong, please let me know as I’m new to this, any and all advice appreciated, I’m no expert and there is always someone that knows more than me so feel free to correct me. |
