It has to be very scary for retired people on a fixed income.

Anyone looking to retire soon better consider a holding pattern.


I was younger and experienced the oil shocks of the 70's, this may be MUCH worse before it gets better.

The scariest part of all of this is how Biden is successfully selling "Bidenomics" as a success.

I won't rehash the anecdotical, but in 2019, my average AMEX bill was $3670. Groceries, gas, eating out, clothing, just day-to-day spending outside mortgage and utilities.

So far in 2023, my monthly average is ~$5500 and I feel like we are trying to cut back a little.

I dont see how those on a fixed income are making it. My wife's grandmother has spent through about $20k in savings in the last couple years.
