I am doing fine with 125cc Yamaha motor-scooter. But this might be why Netflix is so successful. if you have the space, you might get a horse.

Yeah I keep hearing there is no inflation but trust me, I'm well aware that I can't drive as far, eat as much, or stay as warm/cool for the same money. I've done my own tracking and rising costs of everything I need to live on a daily basis has FAR outpaced salary increases. I noticed this year that despite a cool summer (It's NEVER been this cool in Missouri in late July / early August) I'm still being hit with electric bills that mirror some of the hotter years I remember. It's been most noticeable in the price of groceries. We've adapted to $3+ fuel, but the prices of food seem to be on an escalator going up.


So I doubt I could afford to feed the $#%# horse.
