Inflation!

Prices have soared in the past couple of years on many items I look at. No big deal but, I noticed at Walmart today at the self-checkout, those vert small (regular - sized) Snickers are 1.56. A small container of gum was 5.00+. Incredible. I don't see how the avg working stiff with a kid or two even comes close to making it.

Then throw in the cost of rent....
