[QUOTE="Hannah-banana, post: 3562057, member: 68886"] I live as minimally as possible. I rent a room in a modest house full of people. I drive an old car. U actually do live on rice and beans most of the time. I really wish more old timers would acknowledge this issue. Just do the math. When you started at this same job, at a similar wage 20 or 30 years ago, you paid 30,000 for your house, gas was less than a dollar per gallon, you could feed a family for a month on a hundred bucks. Now that same house is 400,000. Gas is 3.60, and a month of groceries is more like 500 a month. So great, I'm glad that worked out for you just fine. Where's the solidarity? [/QUOTE]
