Honestly, I haven’t really noticed. I work at a pizza place and obviously our prices have gone up but I eat for free and the other places I usually eat have stayed the same. I know gas has gone up but I’ve never paid attention to gas prices as I just fill up and go. My bills have stayed the same. Price of figures might have gone up but I’m used to secondary markets so doesn’t mean much to me. I don’t follow the news and only really use Instagram to post photos about places I travel to, so life is pretty much just the same for me. I make really good money which helps. Same with me. |

It’s worse with scammers and frauds still working double time and being caught up in their web of lies and deceit.

Gas prices are nearly $5/gallon here in Chicago. Thankfully, we aren’t struggling because we’ve always been good with our money, but it’s definitely an inconvenience with no end is sight. LOL I'm in Chicago as well. We are used to getting screwed with over paying for everything in lovely Cook County. |

I probably save more than most people on my phone bill, but that means little when I can’t say “no” to people asking for my money.

I didn't notice it so far, except fuel prices and I can see that my supermarket checks are a little higher than before. Three days ago I ordered my hearing aid supplies and paid exactly the same amount like the last time. The same with the clothes and home basics, don't see really any big difference. |

Gas prices are still high, even with it decreasing around $1 a gallon locally
Our electric bill has almost doubled even tho we’re using about the same as last year
Grocery costs are insane.
Fortunately my wife and I both work and combine to make a very nice income but it still affects our ability to save at the desired rate we’d like to. Nowhere near what we used to be able to do but we try to adjust as needed.
Price increases in toys is barely a blip on the radar to me but with that said, I’ve pretty much said goodbye to Hasbro as they’ve gotten far too greedy.

I haven't felt it too much for now except on meat prices. We spend about $180 every 10 days on food since I can bases like passata, chicken stock, and beef stock. $180 every 10 days seems like a lot since I'm only buying vegetables and meats. Alcohol prices are stable, fast food increased. He has a Jeep and drives a lot out of town. Gas prices seem higher than normal, but we don't leave the house that much. I study less than one block from my home. I use a scooter to go to church, which is about 16 miles away. For normal, suburban families where driving is essential, it has to be very difficult. I mainly looked at tomato prices this year, since I have to mill about 400 pounds annually. The prices didn't go up. It's 99 cents per half bushel.
