I feel ya. I reduced my shower gel pumps in the loofah from 3 to 2. Still does the job, but I did like the extra suds.

its because of real estate agents, they are being paid $20-$120k for doing almost nothing. Its great if you want to make a lot of money for being nice and pretty! No one thinks that has any effect on the labor market or cost of things?
combine that with the fact they are financially motivated to push prices as high as they can so they can get a slightly bigger commission check so I am not surprised EVERYTHING (rent included) costs so much money now.
THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR GIVING AWAY EQUITY FOR NOTHING IN RETURN. INFLATION.

Have you heard of the finance industry?
Iamdogmanyeet t1_itok3jg wrote
Exactly why we don't need real estate agents doing the same thing. Greed should not have the ability to directly affect where you live or where you choose to live. At least finance people are honest theyre dishonest.

I guess it's a random thought? r/RandomThoughts

Because it involves shampoo.

While I agree everything is expensive, the thing I noticed when I started keeping a budget was the hidden costs of subscriptions and autopay bills. Netflix, youtubeTv, hulu, cell (phone and service), apple storage, water, electric, rent, tolls, ring, amazon, etc. Nothing is huge, but they grow silently and added together crush my paycheck.

Most of my autopay bills give a discount for keeping them on autopay. Xfinity and Visible are two I can think of right away.

It is impossible.
To actually buy 'everything' would include the money that buys it.

Everything is a lot of stuff. You should expect it to have the highest price.

Yeah, everything costs TOO much money. Let's go Brandon!
This has been a satirical announcement.

I Bible costs only a buck or two, and gives years of reading pleasure, on top of the infinite spiritual worth.

I dunno man, the bible is only about 1200 pages, I finished it in way less than a year.

You shouldn't pay for things that are free.

The bible is free, the printing thereof isn't

Not everyone charges for such things

Bible is one of my favorite fiction book.

Neither? Jesus walked the earth in 30 AD, not 1930 AD

And magically came back to life because fuck it why not, of Jesus was real than we would've locked him up and used to purge our sins turning him into a sin dumpster
gmtime t1_itmvrom wrote
Perhaps you should read the gospel, it might just make sense then.

If you read the gospel op John a few times, you might understand the Trinity.

What does this have to with the post?
What can a bible do to fix someone who is facing the struggles of inflation?
gmtime t1_itm4gbj wrote
That's true, I had past time spendings in mind when reading the question, my bad.
domotor2 t1_itmbjcu wrote
Fair enough :)
I think inflation is getting to us all - it's difficult to remain content when you feel like you are being paid less every month and the world around you is becoming more expensive.
Difficult to remain optimistic in times like these - apologies of my comments seemed charged.
gmtime t1_itmwk53 wrote
I feel your struggle. My employer is having real difficulties, I might lose my job over it. I find it consoling to know that God is aware of it all, and He can empathize will us as in Jesus He too was poor, unemployed, hungry, belittled, and so much more. I hope you can find peace with Him as well, even in the midst of troubles, poverty, and loss.

I too contemplated our financial situation as I was squeezing too much shampoo in my hand. Was 5 dollar bottle 5 years ago. 10.95 I paid with a "sale" sticker...
