In the giant festering, Leftist Fauci-hole of San Antonio, people are still racing around at top speed wherever they go...like back during the pandemic. Giant 4x4 trucks going 100mph down Loop 410 with gas nearly $5.00/gal (diesel $5+/gal). |

No one is saving anymore, spending savings too… Yes OP it’s bad and it hasn’t got to the bottom yet. Many are in fear.

Am I the only poor stressed by inflation? And I don't live paycheck to paycheck. But even tbe bigboxes are too expensive. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80468163 Average cost of groceries is up $450 bucks a month for a family of four. Average cost of a new vehicle is over $47,000. Average new car note is $648. Average note on a used car is $503. Average rent is $1300 to 1900. Average house payment is over $2100. Average household income is $79,900. Is this sustainable? I am also seeing this. Some of my friends are even moving into bigger flats or buying houses now. One of these guys showed me his "solid" calculations and he is actually living paycheck to paycheck now. He is in complete denial. And no this is not sustainable, many people will have a rude awakening next winter. |

What frequently happens when you are stretched are the out of the blue costs not calculated. Kids teeth, your teeth, tires for the SUV, house emergencies like a new central air unit ect... Enough of those when thrown on multiple cards and you are barely paying minimum payments and sinking badly. |

The GOPers running the oil companies have a fine line to tread. Raising gas prices enough to make consumers angry but not reduce gas buying. They are also counting on partisan idiots blaming Biden rather than blaming them in the hope of getting another stooge president like Trump |

Biden is a dumbass, and a puppet, but his handlers know exactly what they are doing in crushing the energy sector. His last boss even said as much when he was the puppet. KansasisOz |
