Greedflation is a retarded concept for people that don't understand economics.

Inflation is real - it is caused by debasement of the currency.

“Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon” is a quote by the renowned US economist Milton Friedman. Friedman made this statement famous after giving a speech in India in 1963.

Friedman's statement is based on the quantity theory of money, which states that prices increase when the money supply increases faster than output. This is because when there is too much money in the economy, price levels increase due to excessive credit demand.

Do you know why we keep having inflation? Because the average joe doesn't understand inflation. You can never beat an enemy you don't understand. And if you are talking about 'greedflation' then its clear to me that you don't understand inflation even a little bit.

Inflation is caused by governments expanding the money supply. How difficult is this to understand? What part of "quantitative easing" do you not understand??

Our governments (UK and USA) told us they were going to start printing shit tons of money, and we voted for them, and they did it.

And now we're all scratching our heads and wondering about inflation??

The general population is actually clinically retarded.

I live in a lower cost of living area in Midwest. What happened for me in my main source of income was that cogs was essentially cut in half nationwide and profit margins were also cut in half; while turnover stayed the same or even shrank a bit.

As a result; significantly less fun coupons for me. Barely been able to add anything to my savings lately so I:

1) stopped eating at fancy restaurants. Call it cope but dropping $60 + tip on a steak that was for sure not grass fed/finished is kind of a scam. I can get grass fed and finished steaks at farmer market for under $20/lb and cook it just as well.

2) learned to shop around a bit. ie a thing of organic strawberries at my Whole Foods type grocery store is like $7 but if I go to a bigger chain grocery it’s more like $4. Instead of buying my pasture raised organic chicken breast @ $12/lb I buy rotesserie chickens from the grocery store for like $8.99 (could even get it for just $5 if I went to my local Sam’s club or whatever).

3) no more crazy spending at the bars; toned it down a lot and only go out x1 night a week.

A little impulse control and I’ve been able to survive the economy without hurting my savings.

Also am. The recent breakup also helped me save a lot of money - no longer going to 1, 2 or even 3 restaurants in a weekend, and just paying for one! The whole global economy is going through a tough period and saving/ living below your means is easier than making more money.

If you use Netflix/ amazon or subscriptions like that, I suggest Stremio (look up how to download add ons for it). It's basically P2P torrent but designed similar to netflix. Has all the movies/ shows and saved me from paying money to Hollywood child molesters

Yeah I do multiple things. I cook all my food from scratch, not that hard. No prepackaged crap. If I see meat on sale I will buy a lot of it and freeze. Dates are usually just a drink or two. No splurging unless she is invested. Sometimes just play fetch with her dog in a park or something.I’m changing my own oil and brake pads. I’ve cut almost all media out of my life, it’s all fag garbage now. Thankfully I bought a house and I’m shielded from large rent increases, which is probably just because of the millions of illegals they are allowing to cross the border. I’ve become quite handy. Rewired some electrical and installed my own HVAC system. If you’re not stupid you can get all the info you need from free ChatGPT and YouTube tutorials. The most important part of clothing is fit and general styles. Found some clothing items from unknown brands on Amazon that fit well and are stylish, probably all coming from the same Chinese factory as well known brands.

I quit going out to eat years ago, outside of travel, specifically because prices went up, portion size went down, along with quality.

I'd rather spend $13 on a 16oz steak than get a burger and a drink for $25. I'm in and out of the kitchen in 20 minutes with dishes done.

Fortunately I'm a low maintenance and all I need is ass, gas and grass (outdoor). The Rare film from the torrent, since all the shit is woke anyway. Music from soulseek, but I dont even have time tolook up the new stuff.

All in all I came to the conclusion that saving can become like threading a water and saving at some point is having a limited effect and an income HAS to increase.

Since the people that do not work die on a toilet while taking a dump, I think starting a work at any age is the same as doing it earlier.

I'm going to disagree on the "greedflation" part because it's inflation for the food.

As for those digital products yes. I cancelled a bunch of my digital subscriptions. There is no way digital costs that much to distribute. The digital markup in my opinion is absolute greed from these companies.
