WHEW! I looked between my legs to make sure someone didn't cut mine off and grilled it when I took a nap.
Does anyone have a good example of inflation hitting your life? Shit is sneaky.
I’ve got one I’m always shocked by. My parents bought their ski boat, a 2007 Supra, in 2008 for $41k I think it was. My dad dropped it off to be sold at the dealer this past weekend and sent me the sticker for a new Malibu that is fairly similar. Sticker price $120k.
oh shit, it's a little early but take cover. RJ boat joke inbound
Definitely seeing it in beer prices. We've got a million local breweries and when I moved here it was like $4-5 generally for a pint, maybe a little more for a limited release. Now they're all in the $5-7 range or more, and these are directly from the brewery so no distributor middleman to pay. I think also they're raising prices to take advantage of all those tourist bucks. and for many breweries the beers available at the brewery to take home are exorbitant. Burial, for example, is now asking at the very least like $12, but sometimes upwards of $20 or $25 for a 4-pack of tall boys.
this chart has made it's way around here a few times, but relevant
here's one:
videogames are still $60 and will be, forever, no matter what
Definitely wonder when we will see a craft beer market correction. Burial is my favorite brewery period probably so I will pay up for their beer (when I can find it). But there are way too many average to below average breweries out there that are just riding the wave of the broader craft beer craze.
DLC and microtransactions though.
