Let’s not forget that we are taking a double hit here.
While consumer prices are up nearly 8%, the current value of many IRAs is down approximately 9% since the first of the year.
Now maybe the market was overvalued and we all know that the overall market eventually bounces back but big ticket purchases are likely on hold until the current uncertainty in the market passes (and that could take a while).

I have not changed my life drastically, but we do not eat out very much, mostly due to many restaurants that closed in the last 2 years, and we used to travel by air to other parts of the world, we now winter in the south in a travel trailer.

What can you say? We have a stupid Congress, both repubs and dems, passing a $1.5 trillion dollar pork-barrel fest filled with earmarks and tons of funds for commie aggression. 2700 pages of pure garbage that not 1 person in congress read through before voting. That tells you all you need to know about the cowardly Congress. And all because these spendthrifts cannot stop spending to destroy out country. More debt at higher interest rates means more debt adding to the pile. With interest rates spiking to 2.5-3% to fight inflation (what a joke), the gov will be spending $1 trillion every year just to pay interest on the debt.

I have spent the years since fixing this house and preparing for what is happening today. I have no mortgage, a wood burning fireplace, a garden, and ride the bus to work.

Biden is focused on climate change to the detriment of our country. Eliminating all gas powered vehicles is both idiotic and not feasible. He can only see one thing at a time and can’t see the many problems with everyone driving an EV. He eliminated most everything with Trumps name on it and all of the benefits that came with Trump. Mid term is more important now than ever before. Republicans must stop this before we are a nation who was once great.

We live below our means, have saved up to purchase our next vehicle(s) budget for emergencies, our vacations are booked a year in advance. Put solar panels on roof to gain best tax credit and paid cash for them and now are reaping return on our investment. We took the phones that came with the new phone plan rather than getting the full featured one’s, we won’t be buying souveneers this trip to pay for gas but drive Prius that gets 26mpg towing our mini camper. Jesus warned us of the coming times in Mathew 22-24 when he told his disciples of the signs to watch for. Praising the Lord Daily.

8% is the government number. It excludes things like energy prices. To imagine that this is not intentional is more imagination I have. Additionally the ‘stand with Ukraine’ slogan really means I stand to profit while pretending to support Ukraine. Give them a gun (bolt action or at least less than 10 rounds max capacity) and send them over there to make that stand. See how many of them really stand with Ukraine. Vote anybody but the establishment this fall!

Fortunately, we stockpiled many basics such as coffee, tea, sugar, etc. before prices skyrocketed & purchased a smaller, fuel efficient car. We also cut some expenses such as cable TV [an utter waste] and a few life insurance policies…also, we have very little debt/no mortgage to burden us. We warned everyone in 2020 if Biden took office America would be screwed & we were right.

He and his son hunter are so compromised in Russia and the Ukraine those two make millions ,and the people are dying in the Ukraine and Biden won’t even allow the jets ,the Ukraine needs to come through a air base we own in Germany. Poland who offered up all its jets has more guts then all of the biden administration put together, the whole mess of those crooked asses NEED TO GO the sooner the better .The 2022 can’t get here soon enough, the question is can our country hold out that long!

It should be evident by now for the useful idiots that keep voting Demorat, that they are nothing but Communists and globalists who are anti American to the core and trying to destroy our capitalistic form of government. How many times do we have to experience destruction of the economy, loss of jobs, loss of sovereignty, attacks on liberty, increased crime and invasion across our borders? Can it be that Americans are getting dumber and cannot remember history? Republicans are not perfect, but, they are not Communists out to destroy the republic. I don’t understand why anyone would vote for the Communist Demorats unless they are totally brain dead. They don’t seem to understand that they too are affected by the insane policies inflicted by these despots.
