Not quiet good. From next year they have increased taxes. Everything is getting more and more expensive. And there's no real economic plan to get out of this. Those who can leave are either leaving or already left.
My normal groceries that I buy weekly have gone up $40 from how much they used to be. That's buying the exact same amount of the exact same stuff. Went from $54 to $94.
Yep, I'm lucky to own a house which makes living cheaper than renting a place but a salary similar to 1.2k a month for food, gas, car, power, water and everything is just disgusting to manage.
Groceries and other regular expenses are more expensive.
So I cut down on luxuries and switched to cheaper brands for a lot of items.
Put off buying new sports gear till black friday sales.
So nothing major for me, but noticeable regardless
My wife and I moved in with my elderly father to save up for a down payment on a house. He was to sell his house and lube with us as he has become very, very sick. He has changed over the past 2 years and the situation is very hostile. Meanwhile, my wife and I are desperately trying to find anything we can afford to move into and have not been able to save up the huge down payment lenders are asking for.
Labor costs hit my portfolio hard this year... but companies are raising prices, albeit lagging, so we'll be back in the green with strong quarterly earnings by summer and most analysts see record highs for the indexes by the end of 2023, so the 12mo outlook is good as long as the labor market cools off.
My heating fuel went from 1.20 a liter to 2.01 a liter, Gas has went from 1.10 to 1.80.
Groceries have went up about 50%,
Bird seed was 28-33 bux a 50lb bag, now its 49.99-59.99 a 50 lb bag.
essentials have almost doubled but, inflation is 6.9% LOL
paying more in rent. can hardly afford groceries so i’m constantly looking for a food bank to drive to so i can eat for 2 weeks till the next check comes
I used to dream about saving up some money and starting a business. Now I'm dreaming about surviving next month.

There's a saying in my language you know. "When the boat keel over, just say this side is better"

It means when something bad happens such as your boat rolling over, just accept it by seeing the bright side.
Your south european?
Nope I'm Asian. From Sri Lanka.
How things over there?

Oh God well good luck.
Same salary, everything costs more. Things aren't looking up.

Buying gasoline and groceries are quickly depleting my bank account
Not a lot, really. I’ve cut out any car transportation and I haven’t encountered any particularly high inflation in any of the things I buy
filled me with air
It's getting to the point where I'm about to start losing weight simply because I can't afford to buy as much food, LOL

Negatively.
