Cost of Living

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Cost of Living

Post by Bren »

The cost of livig these day's has gone through the roof. Prices are going up left and right. A box of 5 Allegra cost $6 locally. I've also seen other prices go way up as well. How do you manage with such insane prices? For drinks, my rule of thumb is, if it's $3 or more, i probably don't need it. I only buy food items that are $5 or more more if I can get multiple meals out of them.

Job hop. The old folks will tell you not do it, it looks bad or whatever, but the job market is so great right now it’s reasonable to leave a job because they won’t pay you enough. Company loyalty is a tired idea, go get paid.
