Student Loan Debt?

[MossRoad]

Anyone who is content with substantial price increases lacks an awareness of the preservation of their wealth.

OK, so maybe they aren’t 100%, and I personally never said they were. So let’s say they are 25% which is 1/4 of the 100%.

At 25% inflation over 3-4 years, you should be outraged and demand change. You can just say “well at least they aren’t 100%!!

That’s like saying “the doctors found cancer in my abdominal organs, but at least they didn’t find it in my brain!”

I'm not content. I just don't like people spewing falsehoods.

And inflation is additive +3% one month, +3% the next month is 3% + 3% or the total of the last month.
Another marketing trick is to say inflation was down 1% to 2% for the month, but it is really adding 2% to the total instead of 3%. So not down, but up!

Since a 4.49 box of cereal is now 7.49 well, that is 30%+

What kind of cereal? A family sized box of Cheerios is $5.99 here.

A dollar off of that if you clip the coupon.

Yeah, student debt. Not Milyer with that one. My tuition was only $400!

Mind you, that was back in 1970…

it's my area, we drive into NJ to get a little better price, sometimes.
Have to weigh driving time/cost vs. savings.

Trying to save up for my sons college is stressful, but his career requires a degree.
Increased costs for the last few years have slowed down our savings considerably.

Thanks Jyoutz for trying to help.

We have only two choices in our rural area: Krogers and Walmart. Krogers has a far nicer butcher counter, deli, and bakery, but for everything else prices at Walmart are at least 20% cheaper.

My beef is fuel, which for a sustained period WAS UP ~100% from 2019.
THAT is completely unacceptable and the primary reason food is up.

Bro, don’t even try to refute me. I buy more fuel in a year than you buy in 20 years. Its a huge expense for us and we track it like a hawk, so save it, K?

Probably not raises, but job hopping certainly boosted a lot of people I know into different tax brackets.

Whew! We all feel so much better!
