Inflation rose 8.6% in May, highest since 1981

Drop some names man.

But on the conservative side. We can't afford L's.

Breh you can hit up them I series Bonds, ETFs like VTI, VOO, SPY and of course Bitcoin. Just all this stuff on sale man on the low. Some are safe Like I series bonds, some with more risk but a low risk like VTI, VOO or SPY and then higher risk like bitcoin.

Man soon as the markets started slipping I started putting 100% of my 401K contribution into S&P 500. This where the real money is made when ever the market takes a dumb. Did the same thing when covid hit.

I was telling my wife if the market dumps even more I will get a part time job (no fukks given) and just dump that whole check into the market and bitcoin too. Be out here as a professional in the daytime and moonlighting at Walmart stocking shelves at night.... .

Not really out of date. Just that it lags since it reflects the precious month.

Gas prices being down should show up in next month's report

Gas price down where? I filled up yesterday at a higher price than a month ago (6.85 / gallon on 87)

Chipotle been on bullshyt past few years anyway but definitely more lately.

My issue with this, is places like chipotle and other services is they are trying to increase prices and give lower portions. Thats price gouging. If a place is going to raise the price because of inflation, fine I understand, but you cant also give lower portions. The portions or service needs to stay the same as previous prices.

If you are going to raise prices, but keep old portions, thats fine.

But you cant raise prices and lower portions.

Chipotle one of the worst at this.

Means you in Cali and had you filled up last week or two, you woulda most likely been paying 7.00/gallon.

If anything family Dollar and those a like will see a rise in the quantity and quality of their products because the big retailers need to clear out inventory.


Same goes for clothing stores like ti maxx and Ross
