I worked hard swinging a hammer and such my entire life, usually out in the cold and heat. I saved money. I live 5 miles from work. If gas doubles it doesn't really matter to me much that is very correct.
I've cut way back on fun hobbies to waste time trying to make american great again,and to straiten things out for the younger generations. So I believe I'm very aware of what's going on. I remember growing up,we never locked our front door,it was a different America
I'm one of those working Americans, and there is nothing detached about. Prices have completely stabilized since Trump came back. My grocery prices haven't changed in since November 2024.
Also trades have always had shortages and right now it's the best time to get one. Gen Z buddy of mine is in the electrician school as we speak. He can't wait to ditch the dog eat dog rat race corporate world to have a regular and stable non toxic job.
If Caleb Hammer showed me one thing, it's that your average American doesn't have a income problem, but a budgeting one.
Edit: looking through your posting history, it's nothing but negativity and dooming. "Hurr durr, we lost the midterms" - no faggot, we didn't. Trump is still President. Reddit though is down the hallway to your right. So is patriots.win, but these they're basically the same.
Las Vegas, NV. I shop mostly at my local Winco, and the prices haven't budged since Trump came to office. The only thing that fluctuates in price are usually seasonal goods like cherries or watermelon.
Milk has consistently been $2.32 per gallon, eggs have been $1.28 per dozen, NY steak has been around $11.38. Even my local Costco hasn't changed the prices for steak since resident Biden left. Over there New York is still priced at $13.4/per pound
Correct. It's a budgeting problem, same as with most governments. I'm on social security, along with my wife, but I'm doing fine. I have a budget that is run out to 2030 so I can see ahead of time where there might be tight spots and where bills will end, giving us extra money for something else. We are very close to finishing Dave Ramsey's debt snowball plan. I have only a single credit card, and that balance goes down every month. They keep writing to me begging me to charge more so they can get their usury. I'm not falling for it. Unless there is an unavoidable dire emergency, I will never borrow another penny.
Yup. Same here. Our income went down, but we dramatically improved out budget and stopped eating out all the time.
As a result, we have more money and more freedom. If one good thing came from the Biden years, it's that everyone cut out the consumerist spending and focused more on things that matter.
I think the majority of people left here are retirees or foreigners because they seem either wholly unawares or unaffected.

Ironically, it's the retirees that have been affected the most by this. That and people on SSI.
A lot of people have either gotten raises or improved their budgeting skills. It's not great, but it can always be worse. So I'm grateful for that.
Figures
I have no problem with our veterans being compensated.
They deserve an increase even.

Where do you live that your grocery prices haven't changed since 2024?
