Stop in for a cup of coffee

Not bad, I’m down 7.49 currently. I was up Jan 2nd of 21.32 percent. I waited a bit too long to move into the safe fund. But I think a big plunge is coming. There’s no way the general American public can withstand 1.47 percent increases in food and then 200-300 percent or more in gas price increases, not counting all the other goods and service prices increases, in such a short, rapid timeline.
I mean, I’m barely breaking even net wise. I took a job with a 10 percent increase in salary, but only 10 miles round trip a day from home. Previous job was 62 miles one way, I went from filling up three times a week, to twice a month. But with the gas now well over 3.75 a gallon, every penny I would have had extra, is gone. Granted, it’d been way way worse if I’d stayed, but still. I was expecting to have 500-1000 bucks extra to play with a month, nope.
I've been in your shoes at times living paycheck to paycheck.
I worked a fulltime LEO job, National Guard, plus part time jobs for more than thirty years.
During those years we saved and continued to invest in good times and bad.
Today, we are very comfortable and will for years to come.
Hang in there it will pay off when your ready.
