Have you tightened your belt on spending due to Biden’s price hikes?

We are on an unsustainable economic path and Biden voters REFUSE to acknowledge the economic destruction he’s wrought on this country in just over a year.

It is truly mind boggling that liberals continue to bury their collective heads in the sand and pretend the economic destruction going on around them isn’t really happening.

To a degree yes, I didn't go anywhere this weekend due to me not wanting to fill up again

I tightened up about two weeks after covid hit the us.

A buddy and I went in together on a place in PR, and I'd already be gone year around if it weren't for my elderly family members.

If Trump had $5.00 gas prices he would have been drawn and quartered within days of the first pump hitting the $5.00 mark.

Might as well run up debt and get what you can before the reset.

Just little things such as when we take our trip from South Bend, IN to Gulfport in July we're going to drive the Mazda6 instead of the YukonXL Denali. It'll be a more miserable drive, but frick, gas is killing us in that thing.

When I start buying wine in a box, then it's really time to worry.

I did find a bag of Romin Noodle at the back of the pantry and cook that for lunch today, so I guess yes.

Day to day living no. Pretty much the same. However, I have several. Big purchases that I’m holding off on a vehicle, building a barn/shed, ect. Don’t feel like shelling it out right. Ow on a big purchase.

Went on a diet, not because of Biden’s screwing of the country, but because I need to lose weight.

My breakfasts are $2/day. Lunches $3/day. Dinner no more than $8/day.

My grocery trip this week was the cheapest in a couple of years.

I am watch but haven't made meaningful cut

Cable/streaming looking at you

Doing meal prep for work but more health related

Heard a lot are focusing on building cash vs investing

I am in that boat

I'm not crazy enough to give up meat for fricking lentils like some suggest doing. I may end up having to turn to fast food more than buying meat at some point. Took 8 years for Bush to frick things up, I think Biden started tearing it down in 8 days.

Yes. I’ve cut the cord and started buying store brand products. Conserving gas as much as possible.

I’m really worried about my flood insurance price, when that gets renewed in a couple of months.

Yes. And will keep doing so. But we should always be wise with our spending. Not that we can't enjoy ourselves.

I started taking my wife’s Prius to work. Saves me 60% on fuel.

Cut out lump crab meat. That shite is priced higher than giraffe pussy.
