Quote HistoryQuoted: This is how the government confiscates your wealth. Don't forget, in the lens of history collapse looks like it happens fast (years in most cases). Doesn't feel as fast when you are living it in real time. its a tax that isn't explicitly a tax. frogs about to boil in a pot. agree with everything you say. its almost like people don't think history repeats itself. |

You didn't actually think that gov't could just spend all of that money on all of those hand outs along with paying for the vaccine for every American and countless foreigners without repercussions did you?
Let's not forget about the rent payments that the gov't suspended. Eventually, gov't will have to pay landlords back too! |

Plus the Covid excuse, and the fools running our government don't help matters either. But Orange Man was bad, so now we have to suck it up! Keep America beautiful, bash a democrat! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It's hilarious how people were against "the FSA" until all of a sudden they could join the the FSA. And after an epic gorging of the FSA at the old money trough, people are suddenly surprised at inflation. Oh well. If this seems bad, wait for a year or two down the road.

And after an epic gorging of the FSA at the old money trough, people are suddenly surprised at inflation. Oh well. If this seems bad, wait for a year or two down the road. We used our stimulus money to hedge against rising energy costs. We now no longer have to rely on electricity or gas for heat - FSA checks paid for our new wood stove inserts, plus, we get a sizeable refund next tax season. Big gov was trying to make us more reliant on them, but we'll have to thank them for allowing us more independence. |

The liquor store raised the price of my favorite beer from $10.99 for a 12 pack of bottles to $16.99
 Its still $18.99 for a 24 pack of cans but I like the taste from the bottle better and I liked collecting the bottle caps |

Housing was already pretty crazy in 2019 - just gotten even crazier, thanks in part to even lower mortgage rates.
Cars have been hit by supply issues - both insufficient used inventory as well as supply chain issues hampering new production. While gas is up lately, we're still well behind the prices we had roughly a decade ago. We're still below $3/gal here, while prices in the same area were around $4/gal back in 2012. |

I'm not understanding how some of you are making it sound like this is a recent thing or because of the money handed out during Covid.
Prices have been steadily increasing for years. Just look at a "family size" box of cereal a few years ago compared to a decade ago. Corporations have been shrinking products and charging more for as long as I can remember. There has been a steady price increase for a long time. Yes, Covid has disrupted a lot of supply chains but the only idea that everything is more expensive because they gov handed out some money this past year is ridiculous. Even if no money was handed out, we would still see a price increase for many products simply due to the pandemic and nothing else. But besides lumber and household goods, my life hasn't changed that much. I just bought a screaming laptop for $500. I helped a friend order a set of tires a few weeks ago that were exactly the same price she paid 3 years ago. My girlfriend will spend $200 at clothing companies like H&M, Shein, Zara, Uniqlo, etc.. and end up with 5 pairs of pants and like 10 tops. My cell phone can do 10X the amount my last one can do I'm paying less for it. The most I'm affected by is used car prices and rent. But can you blame that on the FSA types or just simple capitalism? If I'm paying $1800 for rent on my one bedroom (my current rent) and my apartment complex with 500 units is stil 95%+ occupied, then it's obviously a price consumers are willing to pay. It sucks but that's life. |

Invest in durable assets that will hold value.
Spend it before they can devalue it is the only way to keep up or possibly get ahead. |
