Tired of hearing that. Yet every single airport, hotel occupancy, festivals, concerts and restaurants are packed.

We went to Red Lobster last fall- kid was on a date and we had a gift card. We sat next to trashy drunks and waited forever for our biscuits. Ended up getting free drinks, so we tipped the bartender the balance of the GC to get rid of it.

People aren’t spending their money at Chili’s, Red Lobsters and Applebee’s of the world anymore. When we go out to eat, which is admittedly less frequent than it used to be, we pick better quality that are usually local.

Our travel budget hasn’t changed, our food budget has and the bar has been raised.

Yes, you are absolutely correct.

The economy is booming and inflation is nonexistent.



And your “wonderful” state is a shining example of how great our economy is doing.

A few do, most do not have the same spending power.
