We now spend $250 week on groceries and it's only two of us not even a family. It used to be well under $1,000 per month. Forget about new home buying.. those people are screwed I actually don't spend a whole lot on gas I don't really have any reason to go far very often ... Just some pleasure cruises once in awhile that's it..... Even when I was working I was only 4 mi away. $1000 a month is realistic, with energy cost(electric ,gas), oil cost and groceries and insurance. Most people are getting screwed.

We spend at least $400 - 500 per week on groceries. That is my biggest monthly expense. I also forgot the annual increases to my property tax which averages an increase of 400 - 600 per year, mainly due to the school budget. I spend a fair amount of gas from driving 3 hours each to the lake house, especially during snowmobile season because I am towing. i don't include that, because that is all on me. Anything recreational has skyrocketed. Ticket prices, etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then denying it existed, creating conspiracy theories, insulting his own world leading infectious experts delayed the recovery. Not to forget the hundreds of thousands of Americans whose lives were lost due to his incompetence. Trump through his incompetence allowed corporate America to profit through pure greed. lol seemed like the dems were the ones who didn;t want to accept it. Remember when Trump was bad for stopping flights from Asia to slow the spread. His incompetence did not cost hundreds of thousands of lives. those people were half dead to begin with for the most part. Biut its a great left wing talking point for the low IQ retards who get their education from twitter and similar sites. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His as well as the MAGA mask denials caused many thousands of deaths. Reality sucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd thought it was for say the average family of four, one income. Even a family making 80k pre tax, that's a huge kick in the nards.

Paid for a lot of my college years… I almost forgot about the firewood business. I was living in the western part of Wisconsin back then. We’d spend our weekends and free time cutting and splitting. It was a good way to turn some quick cash. There were opportunities. I don’t know how people did it, but the taverns were always full of customers. Between firewood, working at my uncles tavern, and the amusement machine route I worked, I was able to support a family. We’d also sneak down to Dell’s pond in Eau Claire and snag sturgeon for smoking. We’d sell a couple of sturgeon steaks at the local taverns for $20 a pop. My god if the DNR had ever caught us they’d of nailed us to the cross. Edited April 11 by ActionfigureJoe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodoo Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 What boggles my mind is how amongst all the financial pressures on average Canadians, Trudeau , on April first raised the carbon tax, next week will have a budget that spends another 50 billion more than we will take in and really doesn’t give a flying fuck how many Canadians get deeper and deeper in debt and despair every day. i hope that fucker gets cancer, long, drawn out painful cancer. His champagne socialist bulllshit needs us storming the halls of parliament. Let them eat cake comes to mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSFB Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 3 hours ago, ActionfigureJoe said: You mean like wanting to cut interest rates to negative zero during an already hot economy? Or passing out trillions of free money consisting of checks that he signed? Every major economist warned that the stimulus was going to result in several years of accelerated inflation. For some of these guys, it’s a big surprise that the first massive inflation in 40 years follows the self proclaimed “King of debt”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
