    It’s not just you. Majority of Americans don’t have even $1,000 in savings. The Iran war has been dragging for weeks and weeks and gas and groceries are only getting higher. People are feeling the pinch.

      Is it a US specific thing? UK here and still haven’t noticed any real chance in food prices. But I keep hearing people complain about it.

      Is it a problem mostly for just some foods? That could potentially explain it if it’s just on foods I don’t really eat much.

      Often hear people I know complain about food prices and they are spending like 4x what I am spending on a per person basis. I don’t even know how I could spend that much without being silly. Steak or lobster every day might do it.
