I’m in Chicago where cheap rent is $1500 a month. I see a lot of people cutting way down on their spending because the basics like food, energy, transportation, energy, insurance, rent, etc has gotten crazy expensive and keeps going up fast

Sorry for your situation. Data certainly shows inflation up, which sucks. Consumer spending needs to go down in order for inflation to ease. There is no data backing up a recession, infact all the data is the opposite. Consumer spending is still very high, which helps explain why prices haven't dropped. Employment is at historical lows as well. The market just keeps hiring people, so people have money to spend.

We’ll see in a few months. I happen to believe it’s all going to come crashing down soon
