Sounds pretty good to me…

It’s *almost* like people want it to be shitty just so they have something to bitch about. To prove they were right. 

From a pure data perspective the economy is in good shape. The fears of high inflation and all this other alarmist stuff never came to fruition, while the impacts of the interest cuts haven’t even had a chance to do the good things they always do.

A lot of the recent affordibility argument from the left is being drawn from data from 3-4 years ago and not just this last year. We use a budget tracker to keep things in perspective and we are spending *less* actual dollars per month in the last 14 months than we were in actual dollars in 2023 and 2024. I put on a ton of miles for work so I understand that the lower gas prices shape my expenses more than others. But it still flies in the face of the current narrative that no one can afford to live under Trump.
