Food prices aren't really up by that much.
I eat the same bodybuilding diet every week and I went from around 45$/wk in 2020 to 60$/wk in 2024. Obviously a lot of inflation but not nearly as much as advertised.
Most of the "food inflation" complaints come from urban yuppies who pay someone to drive fast food to them. Wagies got a pay raise, which means that people who eat out a lot pay more for food. People who pay for a limo for their burrito pay more.
Raw foods are still cheap.

anyways housing costs are far higher and also make up the bulk of basically everybody's budget. It's insane to exclude them.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Housing costs were high because people don't build housing.
This primarily happens because of high crime making people afraid of blacks moving near them if prices go down.
Given that Kamala has been accused of keeping people in prison for slave labor, I think she's going to be better than trump at stopping crime.

33% inflation across 4 years is fricking bad and basically what has been advertised you r-slur.
When inflation was at 9% in 2022 people were going nuts over it and it was that high for one year.
You just said your groceries were at 8% inflation across four years. Thats terrible inflation.

Inflation has mostly cooled down. I saw a big jump from 2020-2021-2022.
Not much after that. And groceries are still extremely cheap compared to salaries. Most people's salaries also jumped.
The biggest increase in food costs is from resturaunts.

You literally posted an example of a 33% increase in grocery prices over 4 years (8% inflation per year) and are now trying to say it wasnt that bad???
Jump in the discussion.

Food was extremely cheap to begin with so whenever someone says that they can't afford to eat it usually means that they can't afford to have chipotle doordashed to them.
An extra 60 bucks a month (mostly from trump's massive stimulus) isn't really a huge deal.

yes it literally is.
when you have 0% interest rates for a decade and the money printer goes brrr it drives inflation.
this creates bubbles in the economy - which is reflected in things like the inflated prices in the housing market.
which im sure you're well aware of. or maybe you aren't, i'm not sure if other people are still paying your rent for you.

Cautiously optimistic that we could actually manage a soft landing from the Fed. I didn't think that raising rates to a flat point and setting it there was going to do the job, but without any other impetus for change, this could somehow have been the right plan. Honestly, holy shit
Granted the damage over the past 4 years is what it is, can't expect things to get cheaper but if this levels out to 2% then I'm going to be in great shape financially. Can't wait to refinance my Feb 2024 mortgage rate (I put 20% down) in 2025 if the plan continues forward. If I can refi from 6.625% to sub 5% I'll be ecstatic

For ages I've heard nonstop jokes in media, on the internet, and from others that make it seem like having a small peepee is somehow a death sentence or makes for some unbearable existence. I disagree. I have what I'd take to be a rather small member, probably no more than 4 inches when erect, and when flaccid, I get that epic Greek statue look.
