Total inflation across the board over the last four years is 19.1%. Total wages over the last four years are up 20.6%. (USA Facts). Corporate profits over the last four years are up over 100%. Want lower prices? That is called stagflation and produces a recession.
It is when something expensive breaks or a health issue happens that may break the bank especially for those living paycheck to paycheck or are retired and on a tight budget. I fall into the 2nd category, unexpected expenses and that budget gets so tight it squeaks.
That is what we do, I do not go buy new clothes each year.Our furniture, as we never have company outside my sister/husband, I decided to downsize, works, furniture came from a different home who also had to downsize. Saves money.

Not having money that I used to after buying what I could once afford makes me spend less also.

No, you waste more $ than you used to! You’d save more if you didn’t spend it!

Yes, but that “more money” is worth less than your old “less money.”

I love the commercials that shout “The more you spend, the more you’ll save!!” If I buy enough, I’ll be rich!

Tripling & quadrupling the returns on my 401k during this “crisis” is working for me..
