98% of debt was on the books in January didn’t anyone think that rates would go up and that many had a pent up urge to spend and hit the road again or to just go to mall again or fly home to see relatives they hadn’t seen in 2 years or that business would want to try and get back some of the money they lost during Covid ????

If people are as old as they claim they are, they must know this time the inflation is different. Keeping artificial crap interest rates on investments to push money into the over-leveraged, over valued market has caused this catastrophe. There is debt in this country that is out of control due to our government, right or left and not making this political. Anyone with financial savvy can see what’s happened and going down won’t be pretty. I wonder if Nero is still fiddling? |

Not totally correct. When govt takes action to restrict supply (pipeline project that was cancelled for example) prices will rise as a result.

No one said it’s not a problem and there will be some problems ahead well I am the age I say I am and your welcome to see my birth certificate for $100 the blame that it’s all happening in a year is ridiculous , where we’re all the gloom and doom people last year and I remember all the tough times but I never remember a plague in my lifetime which called for more spending by both guys to help things get better , we should stop just thinking of ourselves and worry about those who come after us a little when my father was getting beat on Union picket lines all over USA in the 1930’s he was asked many times why he did it and it wasn’t helping him , he always said it was for the greater good not just for him but those who came after him

Sure supply and demand play a part, but the point is that our government cause prices to rise by the policies they take, it raises all costs of production and delivery as well as material assets such as oil in the ground

I think the thrust of this thread is that some will have to cut back and eat at home if their fixed income is not going to keep up with current much higher prices in restaurants and everywhere.

I had my first job at 14 years of age....during the summer, working the lunch rush at a local diner. They only hired 3 of us that young because they had a huge lunch stampede to keep happy with quick service, so several of us got on for a 3 hour shift, M-F. $.25 per hour and tips.
NOONE ever considered it a "living wage" because it was a starter job. I took the hours they were "willing" to give me, and was grateful. Then, moved on to the next job and increased salary once I was old enough to drive before graduating HS. I did not get sent to college. Nope, back then, the attitude was that most women would get married and stay home with kids, so why bother. Worked for a while realizing I wanted more in life, so put myself through school. Bottom line here is that there are FAR more opportunities in this current atmosphere (COVID) than there were anytime in my memory because lots of folks don't WANT to work. If you choose to settle for a "entry" job, expect entry wages. If you go to grad school, expect to make significantly more. YOU DRIVE YOUR OWN TRAIN, SO SELECT THE COURSE YOU TAKE. Each person has to decide for themselves....we have one of our kids that is a total minimalist. Wants for nothing, except enough to get by and all the free time to do what he enjoys doing outdoors at his disposal. His choice, but he is very happy with it. He NEEDS a job he enjoys that allows all the flexibility he has, so he is totally content (and totally self sufficient). His sister is driven, constantly looking to upgrade that ring from brass, to gold. She is happy. She is able to meet the challenges she sets for herself goal wise both in timeline and satisfaction. Truth be told, her brother is wicked smart, but to him, free time and enjoying life is far more valuable than possessions. She is the exact opposite, always excited about her next accomplishment career wise. We are just thrilled our kids are HAPPY and CONTENT. Too many people these days don't seem to know what they want, and find themselves very discontent with everything, regardless of income level. Really sad part is they don't want to take responsibility for their position in life when less than satisfied (which is the ONLY way they might be able to see the change they seem to want), so throw the victim card as the cause of all their problems. A goal without a plan is a dream. Last edited by Koapaka; 10-02-2021 at 11:55 AM. |
