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.

Grew up poor as the dirt on the farm I grew up on. My folks' most used answer was, "We'll see." Obviously, I grew up to learn that was a nice way of saying NO. I've shopped at Aldi for years, and use every coupon--digital or otherwise--I can find anywhere else. On the rare occasions we eat out, it's at a place where they've emailed us a deal, or they have some type discount advertised.

I guess it's ingrained in me. Not a bad lesson to have been taught. Used to joke I was Dave Ramsey before he became famous. lol

Here is my take. I'm middle/upper, closer to middle class even though I have never felt like it. Within reason, I buy what I want, when I want, and manage to contribute to 401K and still have money to put in accessible savings. FYI, I bring my lunch to work daily and do not eat out often.    

I think we are spoiled as a country. I grew up never wanting for nothing.  We did not eat out every night, my Mom cooked every day, We also didn't eat steak, it was mostly rice and gravy (round steak-cheap), chicken and pork chops....all cheap. I was blessed that my father shrimped on the weekends, so after he paid for his fuel selling shrimp, we got the extra. I actually got tired of shrimp and crabs.....which I would of thought was impossible.  While prices are higher, Pork chops and chicken are still cheap enough, along with beans and rice, you can feed a family very reasonably.  

The problem is, we have been brain washed that everyone is equal and that is simply not true. A perfect example is years ago when I was single, I hung out with a Doctor and attorney who were also single.....After a couple months of living their lifestyle, looking at my bank account, we were NOT equal.....I could not afford to do what they did.  A very expensive lesson in economics...not everyone us equal.

As far as the Epstein files, only a very small percent of people care anymore, and majority are Trump haters hoping there is something that will make him look bad. I am 100% convinced that Biden admin would of added that to all the other tings they accused him of during the Biden term. The victims have stated they never seen Trump do anything inappropriate and he never went to Island. 

So, we can keep talking about it, but it will not change anything - Trump is still a powerhouse politically....

Dad worked as a draftsman for Bethlehem Steel. Mom was a stay at home…..most women were back then. One income could purchase a small 3 BR and a family vehicle. If we ate out, it was usually on Sunday at the Picadilly downtown Beaumont or Felix’s mexican restaurant on Calder. Just to give Mom a break, Dad would treat us to Burger Chef on 11th street or maybe Price’s burgers on Calder. I was raised on hamburger steak or pintos with rice and gravy. If I was rich, I would still eat pintos with rice and cornbread. Some things are just that good. Not sure what class I’m in. Working class would fit. Lol

Hippy, you’re absolutely right about Trump and the Epstein files. I really see no need to try and elaborate on it. This thread is proog enough they are simply after Trump. They care about no one else.

She needs to be removed and Trump needs to stop calling this a hoax.

Neither is going to happen.....

She will not be removed and Trump will still call it a hoax,,,,,,the hoax is not that Epstein was not a pedo...the hoax is that Democrats actually care.  Maybe you can find a comment you posted during the Biden admin of how concerned you were for the victims....

Hands down Felix’s Mexican Restaurant made the Best Queso!!! Very unique in the way they made it. I haven’t found anyone who makes it like they did.

All good things must end, it seems. Had to stand in line to get in there, but of course you know that. I sometimes post for those who are not in-the-know so they can know what they missed. You remember Price’s on Calder? I think it’s a Munro’s Cleaners now.
