That was brave of DeSantis to go to a debate when he is well aware that all of his policies he's been championing are maga Trumpist dogshit.

Not surprising. Trump's farts still smelling like strawberry bubble gum over there, too?Originally posted by BigPiney View PostI was reading the far-right website CB. They are convinced that DeSantis won the debate hands down."I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"

Bidenenomics is great! The economy is roaring. The Dow is reaching record levels. Unemployment is at all time lows. I’m sure everyone on this board would say they are in a much better spot financially now than they were under Trump, even pre-COVID, right?"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Had a solid year this year, just as good as any during the Trump years. Granted, I'm not taking out any loans right now."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

I'm doing great too.
All the things Moli mentioned are true. The problem is that the poor and middle class were shell-shocked with inflation. That could easily subside by the elections next year. Inflation is close to being under control and they may feel better about their situation by then.

I don't make welder money like many of y'all, so inflation is still hitting me pretty hard. I'm not living paycheck to paycheck, but money going into savings is miniscule compared to what is was in 2019.Originally posted by beefytee View PostI'm doing great too.

It's definitely tighter than before. And cost of living adjustments are always a year behind, right?Originally posted by USUC View Post

It also affects defined benefit plans. The earlier years factored in a High 3, for example, are effectively reduced by the cumulative inflation preceding retirement day. The higher the inflation, the lower the value of the payout.

We can make some fairly safe assumptions:
you probably refinanced from 4.5 to 2.5-3% since 2019
you are probably making 10% more than 2019
your 401k should be almost double since 2019
If you aren’t chunking money away at similar rates to 2019 it’s because of personal opulence and not readjusting spending habits.
Are there industries that have been destroyed? Of course, but on the whole the numbers say people should be in a much healthier financial situation than 4 years ago.
