That’s how it always is. Very sadly! And it’s not fair that cost of living increases barely cover how fast inflation causes prices to go up. My husband had a job for 10 years and got raises every year but at the end of the 10 year period his money had less buying power than it had at the beginning of the job.
Gas, water & electric up: winter rates. Food costs more: holiday cooking & baking. Gasoline up: holiday visiting. More illnesses at home and car accidents during – you guessed it – winter holidays. Every freaking year!
