The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsInflation Cessation
You know what I'm wondering... what's going to happen to the cost of living in the future of North America?
Are we going to end up paying a half a million dollars for a trailer home and 2 million for a two bedroom house? As it is, a majority of three bedroom homes in the Vancouver, BC area cost a half a mil. and gas is over a buck a litre.
How about heading into the grocery store where just about everything's gone up by about $2 per item. Ya, like I have that kind of money to be paying $4 for a jug of milk. My paycheque didn't increase, so what's up with that?
Do we have it so good that they have to jack up the prices to ridiculous amounts to remind me that I am actually in the lower middle class? I feel like I'm bordering the poverty line. If I pay one more red cent for gas, I'll darn-near slip right into poverty, I swear. How dare I even think for a minute that I was somewhere in the mid-section of the middle class. I'm not worthy of that widescreen, high definition, LCD TV I was eyeing the other day at Future Shop. I guess I should just thank my lucky stars that my lowly 27" isn't black and white.
Anyhow, I'd like to know where the economy's heading. How much will I be paying for a loaf of bread in a couple years time... $50... $60?

I was just making out a grocery list this morning (wife being at her mother's for the weekend), trying to pare it down to something I could buy with just the cash in my wallet. I'm down to a 6-pack of Coke, 2 cans of dog food and a box of dry dog food, and I'm still not sure I won't have to pull out my debit card to buy *that* much...
