No Question About It, EVERYBODY Is On A "Fixed Income"
With the rising cost of living seemingly escalating everyday, how are the working class of this country going to make ends make in the near future? (Home heating to rise an expected 20%, building materials going up an estimated 15%,) I can only guess that standard food necessities are not far behind. No matter what your walk of life, I'm sure none of us expect to see a 20% raise in our paycheck to compensate. Again, the average hard working American has to absorb the blow. My only question is, how much more can the average family tighten their belts? A dollar can only stretch so far until it rips.
