More like five. My standard for inflation is the cost of a full-sized candy bar. They were a nickel when I was a kid and 1969 was the last year it was so. It’s far more stable than gasoline prices and less crazy than housing.
At end of World War II, inflation was so rampant in Germany that people got paid daily and accountants suffered from “nought sickness” from continually having to add on zeroes to everything.
A man was robbed by a pickpocket on a train and didn’t discover it until he got off. At first he was relieved the thief had stolen a packet of toilet paper rather than his wallet, until he realized the entire contents of his wallet were worth less than the toilet paper.
End this war by getting vaccinated, wearing masks indoors and supporting worldwide vaccination programs.
I found the best way to fight credit card fees was to pay them off. Of course I had to learn the hard way – by going into debt (about ($75,000) and having to pay off thru a credit card counseling service, canceling about 11 of my 13 credit cards and living hand to mouth for about 4 years to get it done, but I dug my way out of debt and am now debt free. I hope I never do that again!
I’m asking people to flag the ad for an unspecified product that features a woman with freak-of-nature breasts. She’s on EVERY page and rather insulting to women (I know the model had to make a living). I personally love women, have had a few girlfriends with large breasts but this is not Christmas-y and it is grotesque.

To equal $100 saved you would need to earn about $120 before taxes.

The first ATMs gave out 5s and 10s. They give out 20s and 50s and are going to have to be modified to 100s and BitCoins.

And, yet, my mutual funds go up every day. They must invest in container ships and foreign slave labor.
