Do you spend your money on anything just for fun? Travel? Jewelry? Watches? Clothing? Home that isnt simply functional space to live in?
6 kids, so there's that...

But Hawaii this year, and my wife went to Latvia and Uzbekistan. And a beach house. But cars - no way.
ONLY 6 kids?

You know you're not supposed to pick them up and bring them home just because you found them, right?

I bought most of mine domestically.

My truck is a 2013 with 161k miles. I wish I could buy a new one, but I'm too fearful of the future economic situation.
I drive a used 2013 used Lexus with 175,000 miles. I have no desire to buy any new car. Knock on wood, I'm going to try to get 300,000 miles.
I drive a used 2015 Ford Taurus with about 65,000 miles.

I don't drive all that many miles each year.


Always figured you for a pt cruiser type.

For those that truly want things to get less expensive, I hope you've prepared for what that means for a good period of time.

Recession, unemployment, sustained market crash, etc.

You'll have to (a) stop printing, (b) pump interest rates and make debt very expensive, and (c) not bailout or print or drop rates when the market crashes.

But, I bet very very few actually want this. They just want to ***** about prices with no remedy and don't want what the remedy is

The dollar was strong, and I really liked the food.
