Inflation! It's frustrating, I know. But it is, sadly, like death and taxes, another normal part of life. The upward spiral is never ending. Looking back only makes it worse.
I remember big candy bars for a nickle. Coke machines that charged a dime. Gasoline for 19 cents a gallon with service (check oil and coolant and tire pressure and cleaning the windows for free). Staying at Motel 6 was $6.00! Hence, their name. (Thanks for leaving the light on, Tom Bodette).
Everything was cheaper! But the "old timers" still complained about Inflation. So, we let off a little steam, but solve nothing. If there is something we need or want, it's gonna cost more than it used too. ☹️☹️☹️😠🤬
