Many Americans say their household expenses are outpacing earnings this year, AP-NORC poll shows

I believe it. I'm doing OK financially, but I'm cutting back. Killed my Prime and Disney+ accounts before the rates went up. Did the same for Max when I realized all I watched was John Oliver, and finally got everything out of a storage unit I had rented a few years ago, and shut that down. Saving over $100 a month now.

We're getting really close to that point with our finances. Fingers crossed on some of the jobs I've been interviewing for.

In the mean time my current place is starting the rumbles of unionizing. It's about ducking time.

I mean, they do that every year, but they did it this year, too.

But there were some other headlines that said "people think the economy is bad but they're spending lots of money so that means it's good hahaha people are so dumb."

We just had to go down to a single income. I am really glad my wife has a pretty safe job and we can afford to keep up with bills, but things will be tight.

I was a DINK until October last year.

I kept the house because I can swing the payments. But just barely. It’s been a tough year adjusting to having a slim budget again, but I’ve made it. Not without worming a second job and denying myself a lot of small luxuries that would have made my mental health.

I’m asking for a raise, but am guessing it’s not going to come.

this year?

No shit.

Poor people eating their avocado toast now COMPLAIN? UNIMAGINABLE!
