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.
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 can remember not having the 25 cents to buy a canned Coke from the machine at college. Now, if my wife wants a steak for supper, I can take her out to get one without a second thought about whether I can afford it or not.
My current budget is 24 pages long. It's a table in WordPerfect, similar to a spreadsheet. I have every income and expense, along with the date and a running balance. It's nice seeing bigger balance numbers in coming years.
Where do you live that your grocery prices haven't changed since 2024?
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
I seriously doubt your prices have been staying consistent down to the penny and there has been zero fluctuation since 2024.
Especially the eggs. That was a main factor in Trump winning, people angry about the cost of eggs and the government culling flocks due to the "avian flu virus" and it taking until mid 2025 for egg prices to go down.
So, not sure if you're fibbing, if you have a selective memory, if you only looked at prices when there were huge, remarkable sales, or if Las Vegas exists in an alternate reality from the rest of the country, but your story is not believable.
