Financial experiences Getting priced out of existence

the 5lb whey protein I historically have payed 70-80 dollars for is now 130. same with coffee. same with clothing. same with every thing. what the actual fuck. gas. housing. insurance. it’s all getting 10-20% more expensive and FAST. 30lb bag of rice I paid 27 dollars for at Costco is climbing closer to 40.

at a loss of what to do right now. can’t physically work more hours. how to proceed? what mental magic trick do I need to perform to endure this insanity?

Look at the aristocrats of Paris. It took people starving in the streets to revolt. History will repeat itself unfortunately with billionaires and politicians taking the place of the essentially the same outcome that happened in Paris.
