,OK, like it or not, whichever side of the political fence you currently throw your schitt across, the simple fact is the Business of Doing Business is about to change. For better or worse remains to be seen I suppose.
The point of this thread is to document current prices for things (goods and services) that are important to your business, but more importantly current prices as they relate directly to you and your family.
Please, no attacking Trump or Biden. Lets just put the facts here and let them lie where they fall so as to look back later and see what we didn’t see.
OK, Ill start.
Gas where I live and buy it is just under $2.00 a gallon.
I have Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance thru the State of North Carolina (my wife is a teacher) and I pay $540 a month for pretty good insurance.
A case of Bud heavy is $17 at Walmart and closer to $20 at Publix
I had my teeth cleaned last week (no insurance) cost me $117
Lean ground beef at Publix is $3.79 a pound
Shrimp/ Frozen 31/35’s at $5.99 a pound
The Dow Jones hit 30,400 just the other day
My overall financial portfolio went up (just a thumbnail) a little over 25%
I could go on and on, but you get the idea. Try and not fukkk it up
I figured you would have had a couple more replies.
I guess we’re doing this in the order of priorities. Corona $20 a12 pack
The wife and I $1,200 a month for insurance. And with deductible and copay usually adds up to about another $15,000 a year. And that’s not counting things they deny.fortunately the VA bills my insurance companies. so that goes towards some of our deductible which is a big help
I’m guessing gas is going to be around 4 to 5 bucks a gallon this time next year . I know a guy that works oil rigs. He’s been laid off indefinitely. Productive rig but they shut it down.$$$$
Lumber prices OSB 23 bucks a sheet. 2Ă—4-8 $6 & jingle change
2Ă—12-8pt $26.
Weed $200 a oz.
300 mg Wonka candy bars $30
Hahaha. Maybe that should have been up by the beer.
I forgot the big thing ammunition.
Winchester White box 9 mm 200 rounds $50/200 rounds 45 $85
440 rounds 556 federal $135
Gunpowder tight group 8 lb $160 h335 8 lb $195
Bullets/projectile 124 grain 9mm $80 a thousand
45acp 230 grain$115 a 1000.
556-55 grain $80 a thousand.
Primers $30 a thousand
When you can find any of that stuff.
Rocky mountain reloading sent me an email. stating all their bullets are probably going to go up 10% to 15% by the end of January. I ordered an assortment of 10,000 rounds in November. Probably get them mid February. They’re holding the price for all orders that were put in before the first of the year…
One of my pot stocks more than doubled. Cashed out.
The other the bottom fell out.$3,000 investment fell to $200. It’s back up over 3 grand again. I say sell the wife says let it ride.
You’re behind on your payments again… You made money now pay up you mooch…
If this is truly apolitical then why hasn’t anyone mentioned interest rates… Gotta have it for our debt fueled economy…
Interest rates are the most critical aspect of our economy…
Peepal, since you are behind on your payments, do me a favor and please post up the 10 year treasury on the date of the OP… The rates have risen since then…
You are correct, current interest along with savings rates need to be here for an apples to apples comparison. If Mr. Pod doesn’t mind, I’ll fill in those blanks as best I can.
the 10 year Treasure Yield was at 0.93%
You can refinance your primary home today at just under 3% on a 30 year fixed
Money Market accounts are currently paying .05% with a $50,000 minimum
24 month CD’s yield .04% with a $50,000 minimum
Most of these numbers were ripped off Wells Fargo or Truist Websites just now.
I can’t tell you the last time I bought ground beef. The only red meat we eat is venison now, with an occasional T-bone here or there. I’ll add in what I know:
Venison basic processing from my guy (no fun stuff)-$75
European mount with wall plaque-$125
Full shoulder mount-$550
Summer sausage $7
Jalapeno and cheese snack sticks-$7
Whole cooked venison ham-$25
Jalapeno and cheese venison little smokies-priceless

Pot roast went from $15 to $35 for 4 peeps.
I buy all my food from Sams…in bulk to distribute to my family. Bag of shredded divided to zip bags for 4 comes out cheaper for all. My choice to help out my children(adults) …they gonna need it.
I worked through the interest rates of 21% with President Carter…forced me into another profession. Our children will be facing much worse…I fear.
My wife gave our 2 adult children a Dave Ramsey book. My daughter was hilarious quoting me all I’d taught her…buying used cars…used washing machine/dryer…
Interest rates HAVE to go up or what we are experiencing in inflated prices will only increase.
The Banks will love it. The Fed sunshine laws are were supposed to be halted the 31st of Dec…I’ve seen nothing as of yet(not really looking considering the atmosphere) but :
OK, One week into the Biden administration and here’s what I have so far. Please feel free to add in as you deem necessary. Again, please no bashing Mr. Biden or Mr. Trump. Just let the cards fall where they may.
