Lots of cheap Chinese goods don’t help the sales.
Can we talk taxes?
Hubby and I make big bucks on paper .... But they take about a third of it now.... After we pay bills and put away in the 401k’s, there’s very little to play with ....
I still don’t buy magazine subscriptions ... Don’t buy anything frivolous ... It’s all about keeping our head above water, affording the medical bills, the food bill, and just trying to save up for retirement now. There’s no fun money anymore.... I scrimp where I can and that means scrimping on anything that comes from the mall.
