I haven't had a raise in three years, good employee, no problems.
My Soc. Sec. Has gone down.
My pension is stagnant and soon to run out from lack of funds (Teamsters).
My gas bill went up some
My electric went up some
My water went up some
House insurance went up a bunch
Groceries are up
Gasoline is creeping up
Car insurance is up some
Cable bill is creeping up. I wish I could get rid of it.
The phone bill is out of this world, went up $70 last month? Something about a one time charge?
Everything is creeping up in cost but it's value to me has not changed so what am I to think?
The value of the dollar is dropping?
That your wages aren't keeping up with the economy. That's been the case for the rank and file workers for quite some time. Do a little research into who's reaping the benefits of the economic recovery. The dollar isn't going down, you just aren't getting the share of the pie you used to.
