High prices for everything have severely affected my plan. I'm concerned if people who went through the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am having now. The stock market is worrying me as my income has decreased, and I fear I won't have enough savings for retirement since I can't contribute as much as before.

It's recommended to save at least 20% of your income in a 401k. You can use online calculators to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. Saving at least 20% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. By saving this much, you can take advantage of investing in the stock market and potentially grow your retirement savings over time.

I never buy them since jars are more economical but another barometer of prices are those honey sticks. Some years ago it was 5 sticks for a dollar. Now a dollar gets you TWO. Last year a corn dog was 10 dollars and a slightly larger corn dog was 13 dollars. I was not able to see how much more it went up since when I went there the stand had not opened yet.

I read an article that they never recovered from the All-You-Can -Eat shrimp on the menu. No lie.

As a physician- to weigh in on the hospitals going bankrupt portion- the bill often comes super high but most of the bill is 'waived' by the insurance- they pay a small portion of it but the rest gets waived- they just dont use that term. It essentially is a game between hospitals and insurers- hospitals know insurers might pay a bit more if the price is higher so they have charged more and more- but none of that price actually reflects the cost of what is being charged. EKGs do not cost 300 dollars to do or read. Prednisone is pennies to make, not 50 dollars per dose, etc. Insurance goes along with it and pay a bit more, because when patients get the bills, they see the total and think 'thank god i have insurance.' And thus patients continue to pay increasingly higher premiums not knowing between the premiums and copays they actually are more than covering the 'cost' of the care. It also has allowed insurers to continue increasing their revenue/profit margins YOY in perpetuity . But this cycle finally reaching a tipping point in these last few years- many patients are now 'underinsured' and cannot afford the premiums and the rising copays/deductibles- and they simply do not pay their hospital bills. This is leading to hospitals that cannot afford to chase down payments from patients at high volumes declaring bankruptcy and or going out of business. Of course these are often critical access hospitals for the most vulnerable populations because it is the poorest people who cannot afford their bills

He got all the required appointments setup within a month and after they did all their tests they scheduled his surgery, removed it, had him recover and sent him back to the dacha. All for free, all less than 2 months.

I stopped fast food and colas in 2017 for my health. I also lost lots of weight. I gave up takeout last October and started learning to cook. I only go out now with friends and family.

Totally agree. When the hospital wants their money, they want it right away but when you are due a refund, they love to take their time. I’ve been waiting on a refund for over 2 months now. Called them today and they said sorry but our “billing department” has had a reduction in staff. They don’t give a damn about you. Also, my doctor recommended a heart scan and of course my health insurance wouldn’t cover anything and the procedure is 2300 bucks. My wife is from Japan and we will be moving there probably within the next 5 years and healthcare is a huge reason why.

I love your fast food stories. Mainly because that was the one luxury I love that I had to give up in the last couple years. I really feel for the poor. I'm middle class and I can't afford it anymore.

MIKE. COME ON!I work in a hospital. Think of all hospitals being their own separate county, like Venezuela, where inflation has run wild, and the insurers only pay 2% of the bill. So every year, as things get more expensive (wages, supplies, etc) then the cost of services rises but insurers keep paying less. 100k bill, hospital gets 2k in payment. Thus tylenol tab costs 5 dollars, one night in the hospital costs thousands, etc.
