I've been fortunate overall, but still not cash flowing to my liking. Bought my first house in 2012 for $50k. Sold it in 2020 for $110k, which was honestly too cheap. Bought current home for $225k with a 3% interest rate. Have a stable job and make solid money for my location and age. I'm in rural north Alabama in my mid-30's. Have a decent savings (nothing to brag about), Roth IRA with about $18k-$20k, and a 401k with just over $200k. However, my truck is 8 years old and paid off and I eat breakfast, and lunch (most days), at home. Single income household with a child. Things cost too much and wages have not kept up, but people spend so much on foolishness. Credit card debt and BNPL (buy now, pay later) companies such as Klarna are reeking havoc on American households.
You sound a lot like me.... I have a really great job 6 fig salary...a reasonable house that cost 215,000 with a 4% rate (wife wants to move but I refuse to set that pile of money on fire) and we have one kid. Not going to lie, being single income for a few years felt rough. Had enough to easily cover bills and a few fun things here and there, but put off purchasing a new car waaay too long. Before my son came along... I dont put shite on cards or buy now pay later, we've stopped ordering in on Friday's I cook instead... me, my wife and son pack lunch everyday...one outing a weekend, one vacation a year and honestly we're doing fine...I'm never anxious about bills, I can handle surprise expenses, but I struggle to see how people do meaningful investing/saving or do things like go to disney these days. I just don't have the room for that.

re: Solo vacations. Do you do them?
Posted by BrohemAlem11 on 9/22/26 at 7:24 am to Slippy
With a wife not caring to and kid too young to enjoy a full game day, I do LSU trips solo these days. Sometimes can corral some buddies, but I've gone to the Texas bowl, last ywars Florida game, and a weekend series at the dude at MSU solo..... kinda appriciate having no agenda and being able to totally focus on the game

how?
I have hard evidence that gas, groceries and utilities are higher. I have hard evidence that going out to eat, outings in general and vacations are less affordable. A tranny has no facts that support they are the wrong gender.

What I'm saying is that those facts do not align with my reality, and there are many americans who would agree.
Can you point to objective things Trump has done to provide tax breaks, lower the price of gas or lower groceries paired with evidence that they have worked?

I gave you all kinds of meaningful metrics a page back.
No one is citing this crisis based on metrics, they are doing so based on how much of their check if left over after getting groceries, gas paying utilities etc and in that regard we are worse off. You can't point to a graph good or bad and say THIS is the source of truth on this issue..the source of truth is the family budget.
I voted for Trump enthusiastically, but he has objectively done nothing for affordability.
Objectively, a much larger portion of my paycheck goes to groceries despite no real change in consumption. I have also cut out 1-2 restaurant meals a week and have not seen a meaningful impact on cash on hand... it more got me back to baseline. Also, many people note that going to a simple resturant or activity is becoming more and more unaffordable.
all that to say you can post 80 pages of graphs supporting that this is a scam, and that will never make it true. In trumps first term I saw tangible relief I didnt need graphs to tell me he was doing great things for the economy, this term has gone the other direction

nice meaningless metrics. Guess i should just ignore the fact that gas, groceries and utilities are all up and my paycheck doesnt go as far as it used to because the poverty rate is down... oh boy I love a good golden age

I almost got kicked out of rounders in Tuscaloosa for the crime of leaning against a stage where noone was performing. I'm sure my LSU jersey had nothing to do with it.
re: Hot Take: I-49 would be much better served by running Shreveport to Baton Rouge.
Posted by BrohemAlem11 on 9/17/26 at 11:15 am to MackeyMkay
as someone who travels for work by taking 49 down to almost Lafayette then having to drive through the speed trap armpits of Louisiana to get to Baton Rouge... I support this
If not this, then somehow block them from setting up speed traps, thus cutting off their only source of money and let them finally whiter away and fall off the map so I can drive one damn speed
