This comment made me think I accidentally posted on Reddit. My edit still stands (I was pretty confident it would for a while).
Black Friday purchases are a good idea. It tells corporations, "I'm willing to spend at this lower price point."
Maybe try and cook your wife her favorite meal at home or just go out less often? If going out to eat is the only way to keep your wife happy then you could look elsewhere to cut costs if you need to.
I agree many things have gone up, BUT over the last couple years people kept purchasing without adjustment. I've adjusted my grocery purchases (and I'm a nerd who tracks this in spreadsheets) to the point where my monthly costs have gone up 4% over the last 3 years.
New vehicles have shot up in price and people were still waiting in line to buy more! Trillion+ in car loan debt in the U.S.. Many of these folks could have bought a used car, fixed their old car, or just waited and purchased later. The numbers are there and support what I'm saying. I'm still driving a very old car (> 15 years old) because I think it's idiotic to buy another one right now. It sucks, but better than blowing my hard earned cash. This is coming from someone who can afford to ignore interest rates and pay cash and I still won't do it.
At the end of the day corporations will always be greedy, but only if they can. If people stop buying they can no longer be greedy (supply vs demand). We may be at the point now where people have over extended themselves so much that they simply can't afford the dumb purchases anymore which means corporations have extracted the maximum from people's wallets. Sad situation, but I blame both corporations and people.
I agree, but most customers are still buying. I haven't liked any of the new offerings so I'm driving my old car and fixing it. If I had to buy, I'd go straight to the used market.
Comment is welcome! Don't forget the prenup. Congrats!!
I took it as they are going up Shit Stream and are about to lose their paddles. 🤣
I'm guessing speaking or typing: "note" "pad" "notepad" "how do I write a note?" "Write something down" would all work.
To be fair this would probably be the same speed as me hitting windows key + R and typing "notepad".
As a programmer, I'm pretty sure I understand computers. It all comes down to who you trust because at the end of the day we all have smart phones with us just about 24/7 with the potential to access just about every aspect of our lives in real-time. Personally, I don't really trust any company so I limit what I put into my smart phone.
Not a mistake, but their ToS change without consent probably wouldn't stand up in court.
