This is difficult to explain. I can’t figure out a rule of thumb for spending, the prices of things fluctuate so quickly it’s confusing. Here are some examples
-
A house, prices are out of control, inventory is low, sellers are greedy. I’m feeling not only unable to afford it but finding lack of value in inflated prices
-
Computer parts. Relatively cheap compared to pandemic but more expensive than before but also much cheaper than 90s/00s, but still could be cheaper
-
TWS earbuds, completely different ball game from regular earbuds, disposable electronics.
-
Food. Nights out with drinks now sometimes cost me more than 2 & 3, but seem like just keeping up with inflation
The prices range from 100,000s to 100s, but some are fleeting, some semi permanent, some last a long time. I also spend hours researching prices of parts and waiting for sales, but spending the same amount on social events in an instant
Do you live in some world where PEMDAS/order of operations isn’t basic arithmetic?!
Jfc…
Even we Americans are taught this shit by age 12.
Seriously.
PS., it is $2025. Source: qualified. Decided to wait until $2025/Mo gets me something worthwhile. Your basic arithmetic failed to include the handful of factors that mitigate these numbers slightly zip code/taxes, hoa fees, etc. still, basic fucking arithmetic.
Stay in school.
Not sure how zip code factors into “simple arithmetic” but you do you.
ok
Interest deduction… meaning not 8% anymore. It doesn’t change the math, it changes the rate.
I didn’t say it changes the arithmetic, numb nuts. I said it can modulate the price slightly.
Jesus stfu already. Nothing worse than an internet sea lion who can’t admit when they’re wrong.
