I was at Rutgers and had to move out of the dorm because I couldn't afford it.

So I slept in my Volkswagen Van in the parking lot and took showers sneaking back into the dorms. It was extremely cold, but I survived. It sucked big time.

Now many people are experiencing Bidenomics. Consider yourself very fortunate not to have to experience anything like this, although it can also become worse. So far in the last year everyday has slowly gotten worse.

In all fairness, the inflation was worldwide. It's now coming under control.

People assume a president has more power over the economy than he has.

Funny, the reason we still have some residual inflation is because folks are still spending money enthusiastically. And most objective economic indicators are looking positive. Your statement doesn't hold water. We have nothing even resembling a disaster.
Best of all, for us savers, saving money is now very worthwhile.

  in the lingo, my statement holds a shit load of water. I've gone from poor to lower class years ago to upper middle, then digressed to lower middle now.
  
  Inflation can go to zero and the prices for most anything will not recede.
  
  You don't know anything about my situation, or my neighbors, or my friends and what they say either. You can believe anything you want of course.
  
  But you must live in a bubble, good for you

weird you are saying things are slowly getting worse this year when gas is at a yearly low right now and that means other things are trending down.

  that's for me and others who are sharing the same thing. Middle class Boomer types.

So you lived in a van down by the river? :). Sorry. That must have been rough. Did you get thru it?

  of course I did. It was the Livingston campus.
  
  It was only for one semester but it was the winter. Damn it got cold at night but I survived and painted houses in the summer and got an apartment in Bound Brook afterward.

    Wow. We were pretty resilient as kids. And yes ...- I knew you weren't still living in a van...- stupid question on my part. :).
