NOW IT COSTS $200 EVERY TIME YOU LEAVE YOUR HOUSE!

I am going to a chiropractor appt at 10 am, stopping in at a discount grocer called Freshco here in Ontario, royal gala apples on sale only 88 cent a pound we are almost out, want to get some bananas, then go to my parents and spend time with their new puppy. Time out of the house at hopefully a minimal cost ❤, seeing the chiropractor doctor is a must for my back

[@boomer7436]

Smell-o-vision! I never spend $200 on any day. People with children can do that but it has always been that way the last 30 years I can remember with my 3 kids. I started driving in 1978 and remember gas doubling overnight from 60 cents to 1.20 a gallon. Then rationing! Long lines! Heating oil was absurd. So we’re not even close to that. Food and other items go up in price every few yrs since I’ve been alive. Lots of ways to beat the inflation. I’d like to see you show folks how to do a budget, reconcile to each month end and they would be pleasantly surprised at what is spent and how much they could save! Let’s see what you can do!

[@shatimbeecat1960]

Totally agree, very disheartening..

[@suzushiEitan]

I make about 50k a year, after taxes. I do not eat out, use as minimal power in my house as I can, make all of my food at home so I wont have to buy something on my way to or back from work, flip old books and stuff for cash, go for long runs with a simple shirt and running shows and pay cash for everything. I'm out of debt but still do not have much to buy my own place. But I think I live much better and calmer than most of my friends who constantly use credit and take loans. It's hard, definitly, but it taught me how to trust myself and build myself slowly and consistantly.

[@ohiofarmgirl3384]

You’re calmer because you have financial independence/security and that’s a wonderful feeling. I feel the same way. Even though I have worries, thankfully it’s not centered around finances.

You know what I think is sad ? What happened to going over to visit friends at their house and having a cup of coffee and visiting or maybe play cards ? Remember on the show Desperate Housewives they used to that ? It seems like right after that show ended it all changed. We all need to make an effort to do things like that again.

[@michelestellar7725]

Ask your parents about life in the 70s..backyard gardens, weekly rotating card or boardgame parties, carpooling, bartering and just helping each other with tasks like painting or wiring or plumbing when there was a competent person in the clique . Friends are the answer to many of today's problems. The phone does not help when it actually keeps people apart. You can visit virtually now without making the effort to entertain, in the old days the only option for a group of people to all get in touch at once and share thoughts was the aforementioned rotating 'party'. That was a great way to cooperate when money was scarce and so we're resources.

The cost is terrifying for Assisted Living. In the U.S. the alternative is to “spend down” your assets to get approved by Medicaid, but you have to be in a place that accepts Medicaid which is not Assisted Living but a Nursing Home. I know someone in a private board & care home that pays $8K/month. She’s out when her money runs out unless I can get her into a place accepting Medicaid before she runs out of money. They take everything from you in the end of your days if you don’t have Long Term Care insurance.

When I was growing up my mother thought gasoline was expensive. Therefore we hardly ever went anywhere. We stayed at home And we're always busy working in our vegetable gardens taking care of our chickens mowing painting scrubbing this scrubbing that, baking cookies and taking them to the neighbors etc etc. On Fridays we would go to the grocery store to get the things we could not grow ourselves. Run a few errands and then on Sunday morning we went to church. That was pretty much it unless the school year was in of course. My parents spent very little money and I think a lot of it has to do with.....just stay at home and take care of your stuff.

IMO money CAN buy happiness, despite what the world says. When lack of money compounds other life problems and creates high stress levels & anxiety & constant fear it will eventually cause serious health problems that eventually will kill you. Having enough money means not having to live on that hard edge all the time and being free to think about the things that really matter in life. .. just my .02, i could be wrong.
