Grocery shopping is an art. I bought 40 pounds of chicken liver for 30 bucks last week along with 40 pounds of gizzards for 40 bucks, processed it all and put it in the freezer. I feed the dogs raw organ meat and cooked veggies cheaper than the cost of forcing them to spend their lives eating processed food from a bag - which is bad for any living creature.Fuelman » 03 Nov 2023, 4:56 pm » wrote: ↑ I retired a few weeks before Biden took office, we are definitely better off and not just by a little. Of course it didn't have squat to do with Biden, our choices got us here. I like to remain optimistic about the economy (long term anyway) short term could get a little bumpy. Grocery prices are still a bit of a shock, some prices I just simply refuse to pay.
Umm, go Biden???
How apropos. She picked the perfect field to reflect the pResidency.OdeToJoy » 03 Nov 2023, 6:33 pm » wrote: ↑ I'm definitely better off, and so are my daughters and grandson.
My daughter works in a Dementia unit at a nursing home.
That is wonderful - good on her!OdeToJoy » 03 Nov 2023, 6:33 pm » wrote: ↑She was making $12 per hour under Trump, and makes $22 per hour under Biden. She was barely making it paycheck to paycheck. She has been working a lot of overtime because of the labor shortage, and paid off her new SUV in 2 years. She just bought her land, and will start building a house in the spring.
Good for him, too!OdeToJoy » 03 Nov 2023, 6:33 pm » wrote: ↑ My grandson wasn't doing very well during Trump. He couldn't make it, and I was constantly having to help him out. He has a job for $28 per hour. He is saving up for a down payment on a condo.
Refi when they drop - still better than renting. Those interest rates are recouped by landlords.
He asked if INDIVIDUALS were better off. Spare us the trailer park lessons in macro-economics. SHE (Ode's daughter) is INARGUABLY better off at 22 per hour than she was at 12.Z09 » 04 Nov 2023, 5:26 am » wrote: ↑ So you're saying your daughter was making $12 an hour under Trump but now makes $22 an hour under Biden..
Does that help with food prices?
Interest rates?
Energy prices?
Gas prices?
Inflation?
Does she eat out at a restaurant?

Are you genuinely this stupid, that you cannot imagine someone might be better off under a terrible president than under a less terrible resident, simply due to the vagaries of fortune?Z09 » 04 Nov 2023, 5:44 am » wrote: ↑ You're not better off.
You would just rather lie and pretend...
So now your grandson is saving for a condo?
Interest rates have doubled and that has left tens of thousands of home buyers unqualified for a mortgage.
And your grandson is better off?
Wanna explain?
The retarded **** on this board lack the dignity to celebrate your family's improved fortunes under biden.

She rarely eats out; usually only when I come to visit. She cooks at home, and limits her consumption of expensive meats. At this time she is living in a modest studio apartment, and is putting several thousand dollars in savings per month.
Her rise in income has more than covered the inflation. She is doing very well.
My grandson is doing the same. He expects to buy a condo after prices tank when the real estate investors start dumping inventory.
The US debt was 20 trillion when trump took over. When he left, 27 trillion.ROG62 » 04 Nov 2023, 8:48 am » wrote: ↑ so is the wage increase you personal experience or a "just in general"?
while anything helps, I personally feel the cost of **** greatly outweighs the pittance seen in increases... and the cost increases are a direct reflection of gubment monetary dilution coupled with said wage increases...

The poll also says that most Americans also feel as a whole the economy is worse. I'm not going to express anything about the accuracy of the poll but instead offer a question. The same that Reagan offered in 1984. Are you better off than you were four years ago in your personal finances? Personally I have seen a large wage increase that I believe has outstripped inflation and a COLA increase in my social security check. Be honest with this and please don't attack my source of income.
