Dave Ramsey says that the housing market as a whole is not collapsing, but it is in Socialist-run parts of America. His advice is to buy now if you need/want to, then re-fi when rates go down again in a few years. In the meantime, throw extra at your mortgage as much as you can.
Secondly, I am down $10K in my IRA as I type. Ugh!
Lastly, I cannot get our grocery bill under $200/week for just the two of us, and we raise our own beef and I have an extensive garden. And we don’t eat ‘fancy’ by any stretch.
It’s SO frustrating, because I’m buying ALL the SAME BASIC STUFF and it’s twice the price!
And now that I’m done b*tchin’, I’ll go back and read the article. ;)
S.E. PA, diesel is around $6 per/gal.
“The more things change the more they remain the same. Not like we haven’t been through this before, and it will happen again.”
Well said, but it’s STILL frustrating. And there are so many DOPES out there that don’t see these things as Democrat-caused and they KEEP voting for this cr@p!
And that just creates MORE dependence on Mother Government and more people on the dole while the REST of us eek out a living trying to support them all, as well as our OWN families!
THAT, to me, is the worst part of it all. Mother Government is Winning! She’s in it for the long game. :(
Not sure what’s she’s going to do when ALL of the PRODUCERS in America are dead and gone. Well, more than likely, she’ll just sell off any remaining assets to China. *SPIT*
We’ve got some major pain ahead it looks like.
Acts 14:22 wasn’t kidding...
Acts 14:22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying, “It is through many tribulations that we must enter the kingdom of God.”
You post is spot on. Sad to say. Don’t give up hope. Sometimes it’s all we have. Be well. I’ve always liked you posts. Mostly The Garden Threads! 👍
“Wash, Rinse, Repeat”
That’s it.
I’ll never give up! I’ll complain, but I’ll NEVER give up! :)

Works as long as they keep convincing the Dumb Masses believe it.
“Works as long as they keep convincing the Dumb Masses believe it”.
‘Dumb masses’ I love it!
Please see my tagline.
Well said, Diana. It’s a sad thing it needs to be said.
...”when ALL of the PRODUCERS in America are dead and gone.”
Ala Atlas Shrugged. But our producers can’t run and hibernate in the Rocky Mountains shielded by some atmospheric trick of light. Even if they could, our producers have family & employees depending on them.
All the slugs living off the taxpayers should have to scratch out an existence for themselves. A permanent EBT card *spit*
Just remember that most of these economic issues are man-made; expect more issues, especially by the 'Great Global Reset" (GGR) which is a bunch of unelected 'elites' who expect to come in on a white horse as our social and financial saviors (for example: Remember the recent Russia invasion of Ukraine).
We can still remain optimistic, while still being a realist as to current problems and situations, especially when you add in the character of human endurance
As the olde adage goes :" Don't let the Bass-turds get you down !"
Our nation is known for at least several characteristics, one of which is resilience, another is fortitude, another is optimism of the human spirit to overcome adversity.
Continue to be aware, use the OODA LOOP in your decision making process ! Be aware of your weaknesses, and make positive changes.
Strengthen yourselves, or as the Bible says:" Grid up your loins" against the adversary.
Pffft... We may be entering a Mad Max era, but we don’t have to worry about mean tweets, so it will all be worth it!
When Democrats offer up obviously known cognitively defective candidates such as Joe Biden and Fetterman, and the corrupt MSM completely support them and cover for them, and people still willingly vote for them, well, we get exactly what we deserve.
As metmom says, we are under the judgement of God.
Major Fuel Supplier On "Code Red" As Diesel Crisis Hits Southeast
One broke ground near my folks' place. It was delayed or hindered by several months earlier this year due to a raid construction project. They were in the process of putting up houses, the smallest of which was 1,239 sq feet and starting at $312,990 (over $250/sq ft, not really realistic in our area) and it all came to a halt about 2 months ago. They're still building, but unless they were all pre-sold, its going to remain undeveloped for quite a while.
Normal is not coming back
Jesus is coming back
"Historically low diesel inventories have put a fuel trucking company on high alert for possible disruptions in the Southeast."
(My comment): The Biden "war against petroleum" is single-handedly responsible for the lack of investment problem, while exporting fuel and LNG out of the country.
This administration is intentionally depleting our National Strategic Petroleum Resources to keep prices low before our mid-term elections, . and then what ?
The sky is the limit for the price of gasoline and diesel ?
You can't operate an 18 wheeler on a 'hope and wish', nor drive the delivery trucks that supply the grocery store.
Even the railroads use diesel fuel to operate.
What about the farmer who can't afford to plow, or harvest his crops, much less make deliveries to the local stores .
What about national defense ? Armored tanks and transport supplies for troops depends on fuel.
This is blatant stupidity with no thought as to consequence to the American population,..in addition to the purposeful and intentional sabotage of the American economy.
If Biden, was a CEO, and he and his advisors were in a corporate business, they'd have found themselves kicked to the street in the first four months of office,
where shareholders have insight, a voice, and a vote.
Of course they will. Things will get worse before they get better, but the dems count on low information voters to believe that just voting for a republican makes the economy worse.
