Inflation is at an all-time high and we’re feeling it. People can’t afford things they used to easily afford, which is why Reddit user u/willowander asked "What have you given up recently due to rising costs?"
- "Impromptu road trips."
- "My grocery list has shortened."
- "Driving. COVID started it, gas prices finished it. I’m a hermit."
- "My roommate is terrible, but every time I look at rent prices for a one-bedroom, I start to think that maybe my situation is not so bad."
- "My dreams of owning a home this year."
- "Having kids. Sorry, but it's a horrible decision from a financial standpoint. One parent at home used to be possible. Now, both parents have to work, leaving strangers to take care of and raise your children."
- "Concerts are a thing of the past."
- "Buying stuff that's not on sale."
- "Fresh food. Even though it's not the best for my body, frozen foods are a good investment for preserving most fruits and vegetables these days."
- "Hot showers. Gas prices rose an insane amount, so no more hot water. Lukewarm will have to do."
- "As many disposable products as we can. Paper plates, napkins, paper towels, menstrual products, etc."
