If you don’t count food, energy, health insurance and stuff I guess
I can verify that. I have decided to spend some money so have been buying stuff and doing stuff to our house. Just purchased a house full of really nice carpet, installation, pad, and furniture moving.....$3500. I paid the same amount 17 years ago. It has been done once again since then but was an insurance job so I don’t know what it cost.
Just got back from picking out granite for my kitchen. Total including demo and installation...$2500. First time I priced it years ago it was $5k. I recently bought a huge Ashley U shaped sectional with a chaise...$999 including delivery.
Of course my cost of gas has doubled, utilities have gone up 50% and groceries have doubled. Stuff we use every day.
