My food and energy bills are all up at least 50%... and with two kids (really 4 now) that's a big deal. My two youngest will be getting cars soon... Used car prices are through the roof... and fuel of course. We can go electric but the new ones cost a fortune and the old ones do too, and aren't 'cool' nor as efficient. I'm almost 60, but now with teenagers again.... so I'm perhaps in the worst scenario, especially with my 401k taking a bath as well.
