My whole life I have mis-timed purchases and investments until the last 7 or 8 years. Bought house 7 years ago and have locked in 30 year fixed at 3%
Cars bought new 2017 and 2019 models at good deals now paid off. Old mustang paid off in 1987. I think those would be the biggest problems if you had to buy new cars and a house in todays market. Gas is the real killer. No getting around that. When the market has a really good sale on food you like, stock up.

I find it silly when people try to blame this current inflation on one party or the other. Many of the causes were beyond either sides control, and the policies put in place that certainly didn’t help things were bilaterally agreed upon. Both equally to blame.

If you always vote one way, then do elections really have consequences?

Quoted from MtnFrost:

One thing I do to save money is play board games - another thread reminded me. It's fun, and costs nothing once you buy it. nice group activity, too. The new, modern board games - not the old Monopoly type of crud.

Monopoly always ended in a fight and charges of collusion in our family. I loved The Dark Tower game as a kid. The tower led display went out and it got packed away in the rafters of the garage. Your post made me look on eBay for a replacement tower but didn’t see any working ones for sale. I happened to notice there is now a Return to Dark Tower game that was crowdfunded and came out a few years ago. I’m tempted to buy one.
