Things are expensive

[Janderso]

I paid $7.09 for premium fuel a couple days ago. This was in Crescent City, Ca.

Yesterday I was tasked to buy ice and some peppers. An Anahiem pepper was $4.00 at Ray’s market in Bandon OR.

What’s happening?

We just retired. You know, fixed income and all.
Scares the hell out of me.

 

[Just for fun]

We can only hope that things will get better!

Great pic Jeff ! As far as prices .................................my wife retired last month but hasn't recieved any SS or pension checks yet . I haven't made a dime for 3 months now . I just wrote a large check to work for all of the equipment I purchased . It's painful I know , but things will hopefully get better soon . Enjoy the time you have my friend , we just never know .

I"ve often wondered how the farmers make it .

One thing that we have going for us is we know how to fix stuff....

If you increase the # of $ each one is worth that much less. Guess who increased the # of $s.
Don't hold $s. Physical assets will rise in value at similar rates as the decline in currency (longer term.)

And make stuff ! My machines aren't even hooked up yet and work is telling me they have more work than I could handle . Everywhere is all cnc these days . Not good for one off jobs when taking in programming time then running a single part . We on here will be ok , they'll be plenty of work to go around if wanted .
