Increase in prices

[NorcoAccord]

I am taking classes...working towards higher paying job.

And you can't always just get a "better" job...sometimes you have to stay where you are. Especially when you have an odd sched. like me

Same here, but here but i don't minimal wage anymore, I make 10 bucks an hour so its not bad.

3.20 for gas....plus i dont carry cash so i have 2 pay a bit more cuz i use a credit card

You do, why? That sucks...here anyway they charge the same (texas)

The are I live in has the lowest wages in Alberta. Yet retail prices of everything seem to continue to jump. Real estate is the worst. 5 years ago, the average house was worth 75-125k. Now its hard to find ANYTHING for under 200k.

[foamypirate]

Wow? You guys complain about $8.00 minimum wage?

Minimum wage is $5.15 where I live...

Minimum wage raises increases inflation unnecessarily.

Oh and the gas being cheaper is because somebody has to pay for the charges it takes to process credit cards. When a transaction is processed most merchant services people take 1%-3% of the price off the top. So gas stations offer discounts to people who pay cash. This is because with the advent of the pay-at-the-pump now probably 90% of business is all electronic. If the gas station can get some of that business to use cash instead they save money.

Prices are going up WAY faster then inflation.

The increase in prices IS inflation. The only thing that's changing is the RATE of inflation.

Inflation is a rise in the general level of prices of goods and services in a given economy over a period of time. It may also refer to the rise in the prices of some more specific set of goods or services. In either case, it is measured as the percentage rate of change of a price index.

[bcjammerx]

ah...inflation still sucks balls of donkeys.

Hmm...I don't think the stations around here offer discounts...but I'll have to see next time I buy gas.

[gloryaccordy]

I dunno if you guys follow the economy, but this seems to just be the tip of the iceberg. Thank your federal reserve chairman
