I consider myself very upper middle class (wife and I are retired) and we feel the strain of grocery and health insurance.

Anyone calling themselves middle class and stating the economy doesn't effect them is not being realistic.

Never said it didn’t affect me, said it wasn’t smothering me, big difference.

I read an article about a year ago but can’t remember where from but it said $100,000 of goods and services in 2020 would cost you $125,000 in 2024 for the same goods and services. I don’t know about you but if I took a $25,000 hit a year to buy the same goods and services and you didn’t get much of a raise over that period of time most people are going to feel smothered. Just saying.

Some things have leveled off or in a few cases the price has come down (gas) but for the most part, it still sucks.

My wife reminds me of the fact every time we go grocery shopping. She grabs a product and states "you know what this used to cost 3 years ago?". I always reply with "I have no idea, never looked at the prices, just grab what I needed or wanted". Makes her even more mad. lol

Needless to say, my wife buys off brand products now days. That used to not be the case.
