It is a privilege for the Wealthy. Which is why I am focused on increasing income.

Luckily our wages also increased by that much. But we can't keep increasing it to infinity.

Very good observation. Totally agree.

O and If anyone really cares ...I have noticed groceries are high here all the time but yes much higher. I think it's the cold weather in farm counties.
I shop at Aldi and Stop&Shop.
Digital coupons

Digital coupons are a plus. I have saved over $2,500 in the last year.
and filled the tank this week for $1.70 a gallon using gas points.

The recalls are scary.
When things calm down try hitting the local supermarkets.
You should be able to pick up a 6 pack of romaine for around 5 bucks.

I find that unlikely, personally.

I think it has more to do with the economy but there is still wiggle room to search out great buys.

How about the thousands of people that walked from Central America to the US border? Are those people not real? I see it in the newspaper. They certainly look real.

I guess NYC is just too far away for any of them to come here..... so we dont have to worry about it. Even if one made it here its not like they can reproduce here and exploit our resources or anything like that.....

That would be ignorgant...... righht
