Of Taxes and Groceries

August 28th, 2012 at 08:30 am

I guess everyone here is feeling the sting of rising grocery prices. Gas is going up again. Sigh!

School and property tax went up. Several other taxes went up. Interest on savings is a joke. I don't feel good about the future!

    The price of gas goes up & down in response to conditions as does the cost of food. Corn is included in nearly all convenience foods with mono, di, triglycerides, gold color, MSG, ascorbic acid,citric acid, sorbitol, lecithin and that crop is abysmal this year.

    It will take changes, adjustments and flexibility to stay within budget. If you wish to increase return on savings it will take some level of risk. Have you considered that leaving sums in savings accounts is the biggest risk since the increase in costs you mentioned significantly reduces buying power. On the other hand, those who have mortgages under 4% are t-h-r-i-l-l-ed.
