How Is Inflation Affecting You?
That is rather odd. Don't think I have ever bought lettuce per pound.Where we are it is not uncommon to pay $1.28/lb for iceberg lettuce. That's right PER POUND not the head and this isn't organic lettuce. They also sell celery by the pound. First place I've ever lived where these two items were per pound. Typical head weighs about 2 lbs. Seventy miles away at Walmart that price is per head.
The yellow dot is Biden's first full month in office. Please explain how he has reduced supply when it has gone up 15% in a year

BINGO!100% Biden's fault.
BINGO!
How much faster could production be raised? 15% in a year is a faster increase than under Trump or Obama.
I know the feeling. I have an in house diesel mechanic for maintenance, brakes, air lines, electrical and external engine and drive train problems...but I also have a shop for computer and internal engine repair. I took it to the shop and there were trucks everywhere. I said to the owner "looks like you're busier than a one legged man at an ass kickin' convention".
Nope...70% of them were waiting on parts.
He said it has gotten so bad he has to send vin numbers of the trucks he needs parts for to keep folks from stocking up on parts they don't need immediately. I had to run a 60 Series Detroit for four weeks with the fan running continuously while waiting on a fan clutch. Luckily I have the type that defaults to on when it breaks. Folks with the other type are in for four weeks of equipment down.![]()
Speak for yourself. I am very happy. I would not be happy in a shoebox. If you live in the equivalent in the US, you may juust be living in a blue run inner city.
2018-2019 there were five months when it was pennies under $3. That's without the pandemic.
What is it now?
$3.30?
OMG?!!!!@
This is really not a good idea. Any savings that you realize by getting it done now will be eaten up with the interest. If you pay it off the following month, that is a viable hedge, but CC interest is the really high. If they offer 12 months no interest--it could work, but you have to make sure you are not late on any payments and you have it paid off in the 12 months or they will come back and charge you the entire accrued interest--they know that many people will forget or slip and they are betting on it. Good luck. FJB.
If you house is a mess, do you move or do you clean it up?

I don't like credit--PERIOD. That being said, there are very few true zero interest CCs. I have one--if you pay the outstanding balance in full every month. I am one of the fortunates that also pay no annual fee so my CC is truly zero cost as long as I keep the outstanding balance paid up monthly. The banks hate these type of CCs and people like me who they call parasites because I use the CC for most purchases and get points and discounts because of the card. I haven't paid a dime in interest in around 20 years myself. However--if I DID NOT keep this card paid up, I would be subject to about 15% interest. The person I responded to was talking about maxing his card out to put a roof on as a hedge on inflation which is just not a prudent avenue to follow as I doubt the cost of the job would increase that much while he saved or found a 12 month, same as cash deal. Credit cards can be very useful if used correctly--the problem is many people don't take into account just how much that convenience costs if you fail to use good discipline with them.I haven't paid interest on a credit card in over 20 years. The offers were few and far between during the start of the pandemic, but today I get the usual two to three 0% offers every week in snail mail.
Several years ago my home equity loan expired and the bank wouldn't renew it. I put the balance on a 0% credit card. Looking back I wish I would have done it earlier. By doing that it saved me thousands I would have otherwise paid on bank interest. Them not renewing my loan was the best thing they ever did for me.
So what do you think, that when efforts are made to increase energy it happens that day, week or month? Anything happening now with increased energy under Dementia had to do with Trump unless you can explain what energy policies this anti-energy President put in place.

These offers are usually deceptive. They usually come with an annual fee of around $45. They also use a deceptive way of figuring the interest. Eg. If the CC holder is like you and I and pay the balance monthly, there is no problem. But if you miss paying in full for one month and then return to full payoff, you will be charged interest on the "average balance for 90 days" So if you spend $1K each month for three months and pay only the minimum on that one month, you will be socked with interest on $1K for three months. These banks are betting most won't read the fine print.I get the usual two to three 0% offers every week
