the economy

So, yesterday I was at work and complaining that my normal $.68 bagel has gone up to $.83. Frank gives me an odd look, "What are you talking about?"

Me: "My bagel! It's gotten so expensive!"

Frank: "What is it now? Over a dollar?"

Me: "No! It's 83 cents now."

Frank: "Oh, look at that. It's a sign of our plummeting economy! Start hording food!"

And that is the short update for a bit. I'm at my parents visiting until the wedding.

Yeah... my big "ouch" from the economy has been gas. It went from me paying $27 to $50 in a month! :'(

Why Kait! Do you have some passionate feelings that you secretly want to express about our middle class budgets being stretched to bare bones?
