Gas per gallon being so much less and the closed border incline me to say heck yeah.


Need to see more improvement in food costs though to scream hell yeah!

Plus, no war with Venezuela would make me feel better about "No new wars"

Good luck to you. If you want to work, you can find it...and you can be selective.

The absence of technical knowledge in mechanical fields is a big issue atm.

That's not what you were saying and we both know it. You can lie about it if you want. Merry Christmas anyway.

Life has never been better for Americans. Inflation is down, the economy is red hot, and everyone just seems generally happier as folks are loving their low grocery bills and energy bills.

It’s all thanks to DJT.

Nothing drastic as far as everyday living but my retirement portfolio is significantly higher!

If some how someone has the balls to fix health insurance costs and health care costs you will see everyone flourish.
Unfortunately the money I have saved because of other costs stabilizing has been eaten up by higher HC costs.

Not really. Gas is cheaper, but was never a big expense for me. Home ownership feels as distant as ever.

What up Scrooge. It irks you that people are being positive during Christmas huh?? Hopefully that TDS of yours gets cured up soon.

As for me and what the OP asks, work has been getting better. I've been able to tithe more, and actually paying down CC debt that increased during the Biden years.

Though there is plenty I wish are being done better to feel more comfortable about the future, I am seeing more positives.

Try to find those positives.

My 401K has gone up 20+ percent YTD as of yesterday.
My silver that I have bought for years much of it at less than $25 was over $70 yesterday.

House will be paid off this year. Getting closer to retirement every day.

Pretty sure you were dismissing the millions of Americans who were not able to so easily shrug off the taxation of inflation. It's great that some people can, but a lot of people were hurt by Joe Biden's policies. It would take you thinking about others to care about that issue.
