We will be celebrating Thanksgiving at home this year. Just the wife and I. Thankful for what we have. Costs are getting way out of control. Back in the day when I was still working my job stayed current. Retirement does not provide the same level of adjustment. Must learn to make adjustments more and more. Country needs help like never before. Blessing to all.

In my earlier years I took life for granted. There had always been another day, so it was easy to assume that there always would be another day. Then I was diagnosed with leukemia and it became very obvious that my days are numbered. I don’t know what that number is, but I know that it is smaller than it has ever been before. So I thank G0d for every day that he gives me. I’m also very grateful for a good wife and five wonderful daughters. I also have to say that I’m grateful to have lived 75 years in a land that has been mostly free, and that so far we have survived the jackasses the democrats have foisted on us.

The cost of gasoline is skyrocketing since Biden got control of our country. I may be forced to retire early because it is getting very hard to afford the gasoline to drive to work.

Obviously costs are way up regardless of whether you are hosting a group or just enjoying Thanksgiving with your family. We, generally do not host, keeping the meal for our immediate family. I did not select any answer, Poll is too specific.

Of course Food, Utilities are on the rise. GAS and Diesel prices make my annual “road trip” twice as much as last year. $300 vs $150 a year ago. Fuel is at the root of most of the increased costs and Ole Joe has no clue that it rests on his shoulders.

I didn’t respond to this post. None of the answers made sense to me. It’s obvious that Biden’s agenda is not working and has affected every aspect of our lives negatively. His build a better America plan would allow households to increase their salt deduction from state and local taxes from $10,000 to $80,000 through 2025. Actually, this is the 2nd most expensive item in the bill and will benefit rich blue states. Hypocrite’s in the house from NY & NJ added this to help their resident rich.

My family is small, just my husband ,me, his mom and my other son and daughter in law which only live a hour away. But I really feel for larger families. Maybe do what we did growing up.

For those of us on the same fixed retirement income for 20+ years, this past year has been extremely hard. We have stopped all long distance travel, eating out, and entertainment just to meet out-of-control food, gasoline, utility, home maintenance and other unavoidable costs. Add rising insurance, property taxes(that we get nothing for in my dem city), and other expenses in and things are extremely tight. The next thing to go will likely be cable tv as it has become unreasonably expensive, the programming so sorry its not worth keeping, the taxes & fees outrageous, and getting in-home service (that we are billed monthly for) for their inferior equipment is no longer coming. For one of our family gatherings for Christmas, two of us are splitting the cost of food since one can no longer afford to host 20 people. What’s so bad is things don’t HAVE to be this way. The entire US system is rigged to destroy the middle class. My wife and I can confirm from personal experience that very thing is happening each time we make ANY purchase.
