Gas prices are going up, grocery prices are going up. I'm looking for a place to rent and everything is out of my budget.

but truflation and CPI are going down!
yes so maybe your wages haven't gone up, but that's okay, because truflation and CPI are going down!
we're in a VIBECESSION aka SLOWCESSION and as such you need to RELAX and buy less eggs

2019 i would buy a box of 48 eggs from cost co for $2.49. Now a box of 12 if $4.69.
>milk used to be $0.89/gallon, now $5-$6
>8 chicken breasts is now $18
>log of beef $27
>5lb bag of rice from $3 to $9
these are the ones I notice most frequently because of my diet choices. All groceries (even spices and plates/silverware etc) are up a minimum of 30% since covid.
Not to mention housing prices having doubled in tandem with interest rates also doubling.
I'm an apprentice carpenter making $16/hr, 2 years ago I made $17/hr at an amazon warehouse. Rent takes about 60% of my income pre tax because I had to kick out the last roommate. He kept stealing and breaking my things to the point of being intolerable. Life is bleak and i'm not sure what to do. I'm also very average so absolutely 0 hope of losing virginity.

Also given that I'm american, my parents have given me the classic "well I had to work hard at your age too, you'll get there haha" while blowing a $2m inheritance from grandpa. They live unbelievably lavish to the point they're going to run out well before they die. It's absolutely comical how shortsighted it is, and selfish. I don't feel entitled to their help but the fact they won't if I come to need it, DESPITE having so much cash and assets, "for my own good," they will refuse aid. I have 0 sense of family or community. Just a lonely young guy with few prospects of succeeding. Feels bad

This movie has held up really well.

One more complaint:
Even despite being rated as disabled by the VA at a percentage that qualifies me for healthcare, I have to wait until the end of 2024 to get assigned a doctor. At that point I can schedule a single appointment for a year down the road.
Right before I got out of the marines, I had invasive shoulder and knee surgeries to fix some problems i got on deployment. I was supposed to have a few years of rehab afforded to me (could not lift my arms up on my own) and just never got it. I was stuck in a battle with the VA lawyers for two years before they finally agreed to let me get assigned the doctor in late 2024. It has been absolute hell to fix my body on my own.
Permanently fucked shoulders, knees, back and my only skillsets are in manual labor professions. The pain is unreal.

Won't see a full recovery for a long time.

It's going up less drastically but it's still bad. Most people want to kill landlords in the street.

Are you serious?

Yeah. Prices are different of course depending on where you're at but that was my experience in the midwest and now as well in the south east. Eggs/milk/meat/rice/beans are now a soft luxury.

Good Jasmine rice on Amazon is down since April 2022.

America has been a nightmare since the 1770s. The good news is that our culture is much older than this retarded Masonic government, and we will outlive it. The Bill of Rights is centuries older than the so-called Constitution.
