‘Not making it’: Americans struggle with surging costs of living 

With the US dollar losing value to inflation and other currencies gaining traction, uncertainty looms. Yet, many still trust in the Dollar's perceived safety. Worried about my $420,000 retirement savings losing value, I seek alternative security for my money.

With my demanding job, I lack time for investment analysis. For seven years, a fiduciary has managed my portfolio, adapting to market conditions, enabling successful navigation and informed decisions. Consider a similar approach.

this is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? i'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation

Angela Lynn Schilling is the Iicensed coach l use. Just research the name. You'd find necessary detaiIs to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

I appreciate it. After searching her name online and reviewing her credentials, I'm quite impressed. I've contacted her as I could use all the help I can get. A call has been scheduled.

Look for food banks , food shelves, food pantries. Apply for Food stamps. Look for churches, some churches will help with daycare and helping to feed your family. There is always help out there. I know working full time, it isn’t easy to find help but in America, no one should be going hungry because there is food out there that organizations are willing to give. Keep working hard, eventually you will break through this and things will become easier if you keep your chin up and have a strong work ethic.

@@chadmarino2741 Vote Red! Trump 2024 instead of starving under blue!

Find like-minded good personality family members or friends and move in together. Don't wait for the gov't to figure things out for you. Use your smarts and creativity. Remember, for millions of years, humans have always been interdependent with families or tribes. There is no such thing as "independent". Independence means death because you got no support system. The fact that some people in our society push the "independent" philosophy is stupid. They only make their own life hard and struggle. Become interdependent and learn to compromise and cooperate. Those are the true skills of survival.

Be the change you want to see in the world and don’t let failure be your final destination..... Grow from your experiences and share them with the world..... A wise woman once said that! Times like these build character but only if we let them. I used to stop at Dunkin on the way to work, 5x a week, yeah I got points and some freebies, but that was the crack that kept me coming back. Counting tips it was like $30 a week, because that's my coffee time d*mmit, and I'm worth it! Nowadays a dollar here and a dollar there can make a difference. I decided to adjust and improve my life since I was paying attention to ME anyway. I went to Walmart and bought 18oz of Starbucks and a $15 French press for about what my weekly coffee bill was, maybe $10 more. That makes me over 50 cups at 2 Tbs per 6oz (Strong coffee) my thermos holds about 15oz so that's 20 cups, 20 days worth for the price of 5 (French press is paid for in one week!) So, I'm drinking Starbucks and LOVING IT (there isn't a drive through here) and I have $90 a month "extra" Ready for the zinger? 10% inflation adds $10 to every $100 I spend in a YEAR but only $0.84 every month (10%/12 months) Dividing my $90 savings by 84c (inflation per Benjamin) I find over a hundred "units" for easy math that's 100x100. Just *improving my coffee life* BOUGHT DOWN INFLATION on $10,000 worth of spending! I don't spend $10k a month, not close. ... be the change! Another thing I did is replace one stick of butter in a pound cake with margarine. So it's 3/4# butter and 1/4# margarine. I can't tell the difference, nobody knew but me. That little savings bought down all of the inflation for the month on a hundred dollars worth of spending - again, with ZERO SACRIFICE! Be the change you want to see in the world and don’t let failure be your final destination..... Grow from your experiences and share them with the world....

@@Former_Pastor bull I was paying less and had more money in my pockets when trump was in office for those 4yrs.

​@@BYOB561 This is baked into the American system. Think about it. Why does our economy go into "booms", and then "recissions" every decade or so? No matter whoses in charge, red or blue, this is consistently happening. I'm happy that you were lucky enough to be finacially comfortable during Trump's years, but many Americans were not... Our homeless population was still increasing, wages were still stagnant, affordable healthcare was still a distant dream for the average ciziten. This would've happened if Trump was in office. _Why?_ Our politics do not represent the American people, but the top 1%. Those who are most wealthy.

During Trump's final year, I saw everyone getting back on government assistance, losing their sources of income, losing their homes, losing their businesses, losing their children and their parents. When Biden took office, people started _quitting_ jobs they already had, demanding a government handout, stealing/not paying for stuff, et cetera.

I’m job searching and wages remain what they have been since 2011.

It’s been longer than the 2000’s

What kind of jobs are people looking for? I tell my kids to look at what jobs pay well (and are realistic) and study or work toward that sheet. Work is not for fulfillment; it's to give you the life you want to live when you clock out. I'm baffled as to which jobs don't allow upward movement if you're working your tail off. I'm genuinely asking everyone who agrees with OP to give me examples of the types of jobs that haven't had rate increases since the 2000s.

@@yourerightimwrong4567 I agree that working is about the necessity to survive and maintain, but if you are just surviving you are not living. I don't know how old your children are but I applaud you for telling them to look into their desired career. However, bare in mind that they are not the only ones looking into career fields that pay well. This causes a high rate of applicants and ultimately longer periods of finding a position if they even acquire one. Most entities that allow for moving up in the company stress the essential of having a four year degree that fits into open positions within the company. The average cost of college per year is almost $30,000. Obviously, that number will be different if you choose a more desired University. Depending on how many credit hours you are able to accomplish each semester will determine when you successfully complete your degree. If you're lucky enough to apply and receive a grant you will still pay the majority out of pocket. Now, who pays the out of pocket cost? The student. Most students prefer in classroom schedules over online education. This means that they will have to find a job that will meet their scheduling needs which is difficult. For example, a fast food restaurant or a retailer position part time is typically suitable. The mentioned jobs do not even pay a rate that is comparable to the cost of living. Jane snuffy or Joe blow will likely have to make a decision of whether to attend college or maintain a job for minimal survivability. Your question of rate increases is null when it doesn't account for the cost of living. Nor does it apply to the semester fees that one must provide in order to try to get ahead in life. I suppose the previous commenter failed to factor in. The complaints are NOT about working. It's about working with the possibility of being able to live. No one is asking to be paid a six figure salary to flip burgers, bust tables, or hang clothes at target. The request is simple and justified. Pay people a rate that matches the increase in cost of living. I find it tiring when people stand in their echo chamber screaming "Well, go to college and find a better paying job." How? What is your solution to this growing problem? Before you ask me what my solution would be just refer back to my comments about paying a fair wage in this economical diarrhea that we live in. I appreciate your response to my comment and I'm open to anything that you have to say. You seem like the type of person that can hold a conversation with civility and intelligence.

@@pleco101 It is greed.

yes so please don't vote trump or johson

That’s why smart Americans voted for president Trump.

Well, the guy in charge was doing it until 81M ( still hard to believe) weren't happy about it. Neither were they happy with secure borders, independent fuel, and no war with a major country. Oh, but we got that now, with skyrocketing food prices, rent, and sadly buying a house is out of the question for most. All that.............and those voters never got that free college money they wanted, or that free healthcare, or that free housing.... 81M, huh?

Yeah, it would have been nice if we'd had more of that starting, you know, decades ago...

Finally one voice of reason with actual good solution.

Self-employment is the way to go. I have been self-employed since I was 16. I am 35 now, and will never work for anyone a day in my life. One can make a crap ton of money working for oneself.

Yep my dump is paid for as well otherwise I don't know what I would do.

Huge sacrifices through the years to get my house paid for ---- Everything is worth it! Pay your house off. Don't make the banks rich. Live on less now (while you're young) to live (fairly well) later in your senior years. Question EVERY purchase --- If you don't NEED it - DON't buy it!

Please call your City Councilman and your City's Social Services. I dont know where you live, but here are some good resources: Meals on Wheels, Sova Food Bank, JFLA, EBT. Medicaid. The telephone numbers can be found on the net and some you can register online. JFLA deals with loans, Medicaid can help low income with medical bills. Good luck to you.

☹️

You're not alone.

Damm thats kinda F stressful there buddy...

How! I would really appreciate if you show me how to go about it, please can you list the platform?

Her trading income stream is mind blowing,I also trade with her. I've made $70,000 so far trading with her guidance/advice.

I met Expert Olivia last 2 year for the first time at a conference in New York City, I invested €30,000 and traded in one month making close to €210,000...

Wow 😯 I thought I was the only one who knows Mrs Olivia Harlow. I have also been trading with her, she's such an amazing woman with good skills keeps me happy all week knowing I earn $24,000 extra income trading with her.

@linda Thanks a lot I just sent her a message and she responded nicely..

At least we have Jan 6 hearings!!

@@joelrodriguez1232 We need those hearings, and it's not like the gas prices are caused by this administration. Gas prices are high globally. Stop listening to right wing bullshit.

I remember saying there gonna raise the shit outta gas then lower it by a dollar then everyone would be all happy and the liberals would act like they saved the day

A 40 cent decrease is not an improvement. Sorry!

I woulda poisoned you and problem solved. One less mouth to feed. Also woulda cut ya up and put ya in the freezer for a yrs worth of stew. Not kidding. Human meat is fair game.

I dont know where you live, but research Sova food banks if you are in Ca., Meals on Wheels or apply for EBT. You can look them up on the net. Call them and even if they arent near you, they will try to help. Or call your city councilman.

@@IMeMineWho food banks are dried up in SC and no one cares, meals on wheels is nothing but processed 🤮 doesn't work with autoimmune disorders. This government needs to step up and help us. Enough of the rich tax free and we are starving

@@jvahl8747 I empathesize with the processed food thing and apecial diets. Please call SOVA Food Bank ; JFLA. Even though they arent in your state, I promise they will find out where you can turn for help. You can find them online.

Bankruptcy might be your best friend. Rack up the CC debt, then have it erased. Trust me, a few thousand is nothing for those billionaire giants.

@@dinimakhmudov1674 sad thought at this time in one's life but none of us expected the state of affairs in this country 🤢

This is not price gouging. The store wants you to buy more. They want the prices to be lower but they have to spend much more for fuel, employees, electricity and more. If this is price gouging, open a store across the street, charge less, and steal all of the business and become rich.

Skip the mayo.

Stock up on free mayo packs from different restaurants and fast food places. I know Food Lion has their food bar and tons of free condiments. I know it’s not much but that’s all I could think to tell you :(

food refuses to grow this idiot says so !

Yep your right

Luckily I can live on Social Security

And, Skilled trades will help the economy more and lower inflation. If there are more people paving roads, putting houses together, digging ditches, laying brick, truck driving and working in energy, the economy is helped. While, a teachers job is a subsidized one, so paid out of the tax dollars pocket.

The problem with skilled work is ability, access, opportunity and sometimes very low pay if brought on and trained so again the issue might still be money at the end. This all assumes people can develop the skills and do the job both safely and efficiently enough to make themselves and others a profit. My concern is the cost associate with career change and if people can get paid enough to at least break even while doing so.

I have to take care of my elderly mom 93 year’s old,and that maybe my next move ! Rent price’s and food.I pray for us all🙏🏾

I don't live everywhere so that means nothing to me.

Indeed. In some countries inflation is more than 5x as high as in the US. In a global economy inflation is a global phenomenon.

I couldn't agree more.

Unions accomplish very little aside from robbing you blind through union membership costs. they waste money in endless litigation with owners that never gets the common worker anything, and the attorneys unions hire laugh all the way to the bank with fistfuls of your money. In the rare case they actually finally *WIN* some perceived benefit/wage raise for the workers, the gain is offset by >the cost of what it took to legally acquire it >the *settlement* that is always WAY less than what the original request was. the only modern-day unions I've ever seen that had an arguable amount of success were the railroad unions and the foundry/metallurgy unions, because the country couldn't function without them (causing massive disruption and civil unrest for the government to force a wage raise and safety requirements) the rest are either corrupt or a waste of money.

Gas prices have been coming down for weeks.

They raised my son's rent 300 bucks more than what he was paying for a 1 BR. He now works a full-time and a part time job and still is having trouble staying afloat financially. It's dam near impossible to live without a second person. It's ridiculous having to work 2 effing jobs to get by...

Australia's rate of inflation right now is 3.5%, the rate of inflation in the United States is 9.1% ?

@Lilly B I actually had to look it up, I didn't know what the minimum wage was in the United States. It's $7.25 There are so many entry level jobs the United States right now that everybody could get a job here but they don't want to. Most places are starting at $14 to $17 an hour. Our inflation is very high because our President has the brains of a Baboon. Things were very good here under President Trump. I believe our election was stolen and so does many other people. There's no way President Baboon got 82 million Votes. Sky News in Australia is very good though.

Homes are sitting empty. It's a fake shortage. Corporations are buying them up and putting high rent on them. It's a law that Trump got rid of, so homebuyers get locked out. Republicans want to own all the property , so no one can build wealth. Vote BLUE November midterms.

It's immigration. Foreigners are dumped on us in our cities by the millions. We compete with them for living spaces, therefore our rent goes up. Just look at the abandoned cities across the US. Housing costs are not increasing for them.

Property taxes and insurances have skyrocketed for landlords. It's not just the cost of the current market. On a rebuild, it's even more expensive, i.e., rebuilding after a fire damage property.

@@albertgreen8347 It is not immigration. At least where I live, people are leaving the state, yet prices are going up. If you actually want to learn something, watch some real estate podcasts. They will tell you it is because banks now own many buildings and are raising prices. Sales of homes are expect to lower and when they do there is a good chance rents will lower.

@@annastanley1459 Propertytaxes dont increase 35 to 50 percent in two weeks. That argument doesnt hold up. I answered an ad for a 2200.00 apt whose price increased to 2444.00 (for a large studio built decades ago). That is not property taxes. That is pure greed.

​@@IMeMineWho People may be leaving the state but the population is still increasing and in particular, they raise in the big cities where immigrants and illegals gravitate. They also bring with them enormous costs in terms of crime and flooding schools with their children. Banks owning buildings doesn't necessarily mean that prices will raise. I don't see the correlation. Try to help me understand. A building is owned by Jim and he rents a unit for $1,000 a month. A bank buys the building from Jim and they raise the price? Why? Why didn't Jim raise the price if people were willing to pay it? Is Jim "nicer" than the bank? Was Jim too stupid to see rent rising around him and didn't think to make more money on his investment
