I'm making way more money than I ever have in my life and I can barely save anything lol
Dude. Same. I finally started making a 6 figure salary, and I feel just as broke as I did before. It sucks.
25% raise a year ago. The most I have ever made in my life. I used coinstar to buy groceries last week.
Nailed it. I’m doing better than I ever have, and I think I should dump more into my 401k! Nope. Groceries feel like they’ve almost doubled in cost. Fucking unbundling of so much , data, or travel costs an arm and a leg in additional fees. Simple repairs to my car or parts for a mower are crazy expensive. As soon as I feel like I’ve gotten ahead, they jack up the prices to eat up my gains.
Switched jobs, got a 50% raise. Can't afford food till second pay of next month. Going to wipe out my canned food collection.
I’m making more than I think anyone else has ever made in my family’s history before and I feel like I’m headed for collapse.
The wheels on the bus are about to come off, about to come off, about to come off. The wheels on the bus are about to come off all through the town.
the bus went over the cliff a while back. left and right are arguing if the wheels are going round and round and we've jumped right past the guard rails and are sailing into oblivion.
But the economy is doing great!
Thank god student payments are restarting to really add to it
“How could Biden do this!?!?!” - Mitch McConnell
With a government shut down, questions will be asked about these loans.
Our mortgage payment is going up $125/mo because property values went up. Idk how in gonna afford that
$200 here and that's after it went up $200 last year.
Edit. Sounds like OP might be talking about property taxes, not mortgage principal.

?
It sounds like you have an adjustable rate mortgage. If so, it is the national interest rate that is driving that up.
Your increased property value doesn’t drive up your mortgage. That is fixed.
Property value in most places absolutely sets your taxes, which is part of your monthly mortgage payment
So yes, the principal+interest doesn't change but when most people talk about their monthly mortgage they talk about the total amount they pay to live in their house that they're making payments on
Are you in the U.S.? We have 30 year fixed mortgages here your monthly payment shouldn't be going up. Or did you mean property taxes?
Many mortgages just have the property taxes rolled into them
So it's probably property taxes, but it's showing up on the mortgage payment
Okay, who here honestly thinks a Republican president is going to do better on the economy?
Please let me prove you wrong by answering in the affirmative.
Republican presidents are always worse for the economy. It's a low bar to cover, but at least democrats don't cut as much from education, health care, and other social safety net programs.
What are you trying to say? I'm honestly confused.
Oh. If they answer they think a Republican will do better on the economy, then I'll proceed to show how Republicans are the most financially irresponsible of the two parties.
He's looking for a fight that no one is interested in so he can state all the facts they have been building up about economic policy.
The problem is that people that should hear it don't care and those of us who care already know but can't do much about it.
They are just screaming they want to be logical/rational in an unlogical/irrational world.
This is entirely because the republican house refused to extend Biden's covid era child tax credit. Biden should run on this issue. If he doesn't, the Rebublicans will by blaming him.
Where's all that war profit going?
I would think that the child tax credit end would have a lot to do with these numbers.
Bidenomics
Brandon running for the next term focusing on economy
Nobody will believe him after the student loan lie. So centrists will be disillusioned again, not vote again, and they'll blame the left again - when in truth he didn't go left enough.
