I am making more money.

Gas -
Job has remained a good bit remote since March 2020. I use about 15 gallons a week so while I’d like the prices to be smaller the extra 20-25 a week isn’t that big a deal to me.
Eating out -
Have been cutting back here, but only like a meal or so less per week.
Housing/interest rates -
Have 1 car (wives..sheesh) financed in Jan 22 at 1.9% for 60 months.
House is in year 11 of a 15 year at 3.15 and it’s a small older house I paid 110k for, needs serious interior remodel (did the entire outside in 2020. Really hope material prices come down in next year or two. If not I might just sell it as is, kinda want to not have a bunch of yard work as I get older.
I cooked some average grocery store steaks for the family the other week..with salad/taters/bread/meat it was close to 100 dollars for the 4 of us, shoulda just ordered Longhorns to go. Everything is expensive but I had a lot of “space” in my budget as my entire financial plan involves keeping expenses low despite the fact I make decent money. Don’t see how the “average” family is making it. We make well above average and spend well below it on housing and transportation.

Don’t go to the bar just to catch a game or random weeknight drop in cause I am bored
I turned the eco mode on in my car so I can’t accelerate any more
I freeze a lot of food. Don’t eat steak but on rare occasions.
Stopped betting on sports as much. Lowered my wager amounts.

I’ve stopped eating out for the most part, and I’ve definitely stopped using Uber Eats and Door Dash, and I always bring lunch from home when I’m in the office.
That’s been the only real change for me so far.

I just started stealing everything I could lay hands on.

if i’m a Democrat, I’m still pretending like I’m personally not effected by inflation and the same time i wasn’t apart of that ‘81 million votes’
But on a serious note. We eat out even less, travel to see family less, and we watch that grocery bill carefully. This week my wife had a shocking moment when she realized that 1lb of decent ground beef was nearly $7 at our local HEB. Was around ~$3 just 2 years or so ago.

High gas prices - Wife has gas card from her work and I work offshore. So our gas bill is very low.
High food prices - All my kids are gone and I'm home half the year and my wife pretty much eats salads while I'm gone, so we still good without worrying about the cost.
High interest rates - I have a 2.75 % on my home and it's four years from being paid off. My one rental property is paid off also.
I feel for the youth and people raising big families on normal wages right now. fricking clown potato world!

Definitely eating out less. I fear Biden’s reckless fiscal policies will hurt this industry the most.
I have to drive clients around and go to my construction sites so gas is what it is. That said I am more mindful of combining trips and planning out things to conserve gas.
Interest rates actually play into my hand. My builds/flips are generally in the lower market price for my area (450k-750k). The activity on my properties was insane before now it’s ludicrous. My last listing two weeks ago over the weekend alone had 94 showings, 26 offers, and went 60k above list!
