Must be nice to be able to afford a Tesla, or a new SUV, or any new car for that matter. Too stressed out just buying $250 in groceries that fills just eight bags, or putting gas in our 2015 SUV or our 2004 car…

And hooray! Today I get my annual escrow statement, and because of insurance and property taxes, my mortgage is going up another $100/mo. It went up $100/mo this time last year. So my income definitely has NOT increased by $200/mo since 2023, so where is this supposed to come from?!? I’m already down to cheapest groceries, essentials, everything. I don’t make enough now to cover the bills (utilities, phone, internet all gone up as well). I do have a roommate, which is absolutely necessary at this point. Thank God I only work five miles from home, cause the only place I go is work and home. When are we going to see some relief?

I cut off my 401k when I found out the main investments were Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street, and JP Morgan. Just need to let it fully vest before pulling out my measly $1500…

But you know what? I’ve learned there is so much that I’m okay living without…that’s going to stay with me no matter what happens, and I’m so thankful for that lesson!

It's sad that we have to be stressed out because we don't know where the next dime is coming from!! They stole our money, it's time for us to get it back!!

I know, right. Less and less money each month, and prices still high, and going higher on staples like eggs. You can forget organic fruit and vegetables.
