on the current inflation

stevie wonder saw it coming 18 months ago


I made minor changes ahead of time to offset future issues

killed the country club membership and joined the American Legion

cut golf rounds down 50 percent
cut concerts down 50 percent
eat out once every other week instead of 2 times a week
stocked up on dry good foods

still go on all the vacations, just got leaner in other parts of our life

You’re also established in your career as a business owner and already have your house and a majority of your finances taken care of.

Can’t say the same for hundreds of thousands graduating with student debt out the ears and having to jump into the world right now.

Now sure, a simple answer would be to go into the trades and not accumulate such debt, but you still have to come up with large down payments some how without years of building up savings

I got a cracked fire stick. Every channel is free now. Have to pay 20 euros every 6 months to a website in Europe. Love it.

Every generation goes through challenges. Cost go up as more resources are chewed up and more demand is made. More people living on the planet, drives everything and drives prices up and up as we consume more.

Prices on everything have risen to a nearly ludicrous degree the past 6-12 months.

Thank you for the condolences, part of the wager revolved around Sam's ability to stay in the lineup.
Good betting on homie's part

I'm happy with both girgensons and goaloffson.
Both had excellent seasons.
10 goals , 20 goals...

bullshat I gave almost every employee of mine a 10-12% raise in the last year.
- IndianaSabresFan


And the large company a close friend of mine works for gave everyone a 2% raise each of the past 2 years.

I went through a lot of growing pains in the early 30's

wife had 40 k worth of debt she brought into the marriage that I was unaware of, 10 became 40 and mom and dad did not pay for wedding stuff she said they did, etc, etc, etc

many 80-100 weeks during those 10 years to clean up mess and be in position for paid off house by the time I was 45

As a small example, my wife and I basically stopped buying mayo because it went from $2.79 per jar to $5.89 in a week.

Would have been a great idea.

Hope sam puts up the same points per game in the post season for your viewing pleasure.....

That gets me thinking 🤔

- Boss34

Take Homie’s dough like he said, and put it on rhino for winning the conn smythe.
Third line Sam might feast facing bottom pair defenders as teams focus on the Barkov and Huberdeau lines. Plus he gets PP1 time.
If the Panthers get on a playoff roll, he might be a big reason why.

Some Companies are doing well, some companies aren't. Material shortages are everywhere. Most major contractor's are 6 months behind. If you own some kind of Shipping Company you are probably banking it right now.

Update from Coach Appert: Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen’s injury is not short-term — at least 1-2 weeks — so he’ll be out for the play-in series.

Some companies, like the one I work for, are great and treat their people very well.

Others do not.

Have to be willing to move until you find a place that treats you very well.

Yeah it's tough out there, have to make of it what you want. Hopefully like you you find that perfect one, but got to be willing to go and find it to.

my sales are down about 25 percent, but I had to adjust my prices to be more profitable taking the less is more approach and increase my portion of flipping plants (plants are pre ordered and orders are shipped same day plants arrive)

by doubling up my plant orders each month, my guess is total profit is only down about 10 percent

I have also seen a lot of businesses similar to mine, just shrink their inventory and are going down the slow death approach
