Is there Anyone in Your Life who is Suffering the Cost of Living During the Holidays?

I've been seriously thinking of doing some sort of charity work or donation because I have plenty and I've been homeless before. I saw an add that said "If you have a coat you don't think of it much but if you don't have a coat you think of it constantly".

[Paris13]

I always GIVE to Everyone and Everything. xx

[Joshydavid25]

Well my sister probably spent a lot on the food she cooked... I don't know if she is suffering though.. So I can't really say I do...

[Paris13]

Beautiful Family, JD. xx

[Joshydavid25]

[Paris13]

[Joshydavid25]

Hahaha thanks Paris we try our best.. ☺️.. Thanks for MHO Also!

[TrueConfection]

Yes... Right here in my own house. I always have money set aside for gifts, but not this year. Gifts will be few and have to come out of another budget.

[Paris13]

I am So Sorry, dear. Many are Going Through This. xx

[Altheavas]

I do, and I usually don’t save much, cause I have to help them.

[Paris13]

God Bless!!! xx

[Paris13]

MHO And Ho Ho Ho... Beautiful!!! xxoo

Thanksgiving dinner was 500 bucks. We do a seafood dinner for Christmas Eve and I bet it ends up being 500 bucks too.

[Paris13]

Plus Gifts!!! xx

[exitseven]

the gifts are another story. We kept the same budget as last year but it is obvious we are not getting as much bang for the buck.

[NathanDavis]

if I know them... then they don't have to, no...

[Paris13]

Nice!!! xx

[NathanDavis]

[Likes2drive]

Well, it’s definitely tough for my brother since he’s on a limited income and has a family to support

[Paris13]

Big Guy, Families DO FEEL IT!!! xx

[Massageman]

All of us, I would assume.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

We had an Aunt, who was a little tight last year, but all is better this year. we think she had some unexpected costs with her home. Everybody chipped in and helped her out.

[Paris13]

Beautiful. xx

I think that's what families do, if they are able.. She was never an over spender, very frugal to be honest. We were all aI think that's what families do, if they are able.. She was never an over spender, very frugal to be honest. We were all a little bit surprised, but so was she.

[Paris13]

[CalmUntilAbused]

Well, where I live I guess everyone is truly feeling the cost of living, but I guess no one close to me is suffering it. Not yet, at least...

[Paris13]

Great!!! xx

[RealMarek]

Yes, I am. Trying to get this business off the ground, so hopefully next year is not so bad.

[Paris13]

Huggggs. xx

[jamesgoldman]

Plenty of my clients but I'm aleveating buying their old gold

[Paris13]

Wow!!! xx

[Surely]

I believe that everyone. Some more than others, are suffering from Biden economics!

[Paris13]

BINGO!!! xxoo

[Staximus]

Yeah, me. I just got fired for doing my job right and not kissing entitled people's asses. Merry Christmas to me haha

[Paris13]

Ohhhhh So Sorryyyy!!! xx

[love_conquers_lust]

Not necessarily suffering, but definitely feeling it.

[Paris13]

I am So Sorry. xx

[love_conquers_lust]

It’s not a big deal, @Paris13. I meant that in they are making it known to everyone talking about price. They’re hardly struggling.

[Paris13]

Okay, sweetheart. xx

[Sparkie460]

Nobody that I know personally but I'm sure there are a lot of people that are suffering

[Paris13]

You Know It, dear!!! xx

[AnusNdaPainus]

Yep my girlfriend is but I’m about surprise her on her birthday this morning

[Paris13]

Lovely!!! xx

[loveslongnails]

Not my immediate friends or family, but I know many folks who are struggling and living paycheck to paycheck, like they have been for the past 20 years!! It hasn't changed under any of the last 4 administrations in the USA.

[thegreenyogi]

Not that I am aware of. Xx

[Paris13]

Great!!! Xx

[FunkyMonkee]

Me and the guy that drives me around.

[Paris13]

My Goodness!!! xx

[FunkyMonkee]

Well, I don't suppose his gas comes any cheaper than anyone else's so, I never ask him more than twice a month unless it's a dire need. He has to drive 4 miles to come get me, another 10 or so to go where I need to go and another 4 to go back home. I try to offer him ways to pay him back at least SOME of it but, he refuses. He's retired and his wife is going through chemo, for some reason, and I have to scrape together every penny I've got to pay back the mortgage on the house that my aunt took out 3 weeks before she died (to give to her scammer buddies!) to keep from losing this house, too. So, things are tight for both of us.

[FunkyMonkee]

I'm in a rather tiny house but my gas bill last week was $118.00!!

[jahaims]

Nah, I wouldn't let that happen.

[Paris13]

Great, Near Master!!! xx

[shortster]

Not that I am aware of

[Paris13]

Great!!! xx

[honeygolditly89]
