Date: March 19th, 2018 9:16 PM Author: Jet-lagged pink hospital LJL kinda what I was getting at. I have a "high interest savings" (1.5%) and even that doesn't cover inflation.
Type in "current inflation" on Google and you get shady blogs as top hits.

Date: March 19th, 2018 9:26 PM Author: Beta liquid oxygen Food an gas make up a much smaller proportion of consumer spending that they used to.
Tons of new products and services are entering commerce and becoming cheaper with time.
Think of Uber versus Taxis.
CPA versus Turbo Tax.
Google versus hiring a reseacher.
Secretary versus computer.
$2000 cell phone in 1990 that could only make phone calles versus Iphone. |

This is MFH so I could be out of touch. I don't know. I remember lots of places shifting from "Dollar menus" to "Value menus" 2012-2016 but now lots of places are back running a very strong dollar menu.

This was in New Sedona. Last time I was round the area, about a year ago, you could get a 10 gal for maybe a core and a couple ration kits. Something is definitely going haywire with the prices of goods, at least where I’m located. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3923258&forum_id=2#36504326) |
