I’ve never understood the infatuation with baking in the sun next to a concrete hole filled with Luke warm water… I’ll be in my hot tub watching the big screen enjoying the crisp winter air hoping for a flurry or two.

I have one of those too. 😁 26 minutes ago, B-Man said: Thanks CNBC. . I now price shop, hunt for bargains and use coupons for the first time ever.

Orlando Tim Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I am about to freak out with the inflation, I have always done well with budgeting and the past two years have destroyed my budget. In 2020 I was able to put 15% of my post tax income away for future college expenses for my kids, last year I put around 5% due to inflation and a few unexpected cost. This year I am looking at breaking even because I was always looking for the deal and that is without my usual summer travel plans next summer. The deals are not there anymore and my shipping trips have gone from $200 a week to over $300, for basically the same items. As a teacher my raises the past two years have combined for 7% but obviously that is not enough to keep up with inflation. To people who have not had locked in mortgages I can't imagine what you are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In past 10years never more than 4 and usually less than 3. In past 9 years my salary has increased 33% in total.

I believe he said he was a teacher and that the 7% was spread over two years. That seems about right. His plight is the definition of inflation. Employers cannot be expecting to keep up with this recent spike in costs. Most employers only give raises once a year. They’ll be playing catch up for quite some time. In the meantime the employees take it in the shorts. Welcome to Biden’s Green America! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated by another it is over 2 years, and I am a teacher in Orlando Florida. I have worked other better paying jobs but with my children I wanted to be home. The money might become the issue that forces me out of the classroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
