brand shoes have definitely gotten more expensive, as have "sports" clothes in general
I also stopped playing new video games sometime around 2010 in part due to me being less excited about them but also because they suddenly became something like 20% more expensive
When did everything become so expensive?

the inflation has been insane, however i sometimes find myself paralyzed and unable to buy shit that i know i need even tho its not too expensive.
the other day i went to wally world because i needed string, but the cheapest was $2.29 so i left without getting any...then came home and realized it was crazy to need string and drive all the way over there and not get it. So i drove and got it, but felt really ripped off.
Having said all that, that night i ordered pizza and came to $30 with tip.
Sometimes i feel like im breaking in half. maybe im just becoming a very very old person quickly

yeah, I remember when "decent" shoes was like 50, and good 120-150
Now it's more like 100 vs 180...

Since I am a boomer who got a job and bought a house in 2010 before price explosion in US, I have quite good money
I can gamble away 5-10 ETH on IDEX with a few clicks, but buying a convienence store coke bottle for 3$ instead of going 1km to nearest real store and buy it for 1.5$ Fuck yes!

yeah distribution is cheaper than ever, no discs or anything just bandwith and like 100 GB storage... no manual or box

Our problems come from not letting capitalism work you fucking retard.

Oh, so that's what it's called when almost every major country in the world locks your countries' companies out of their markets using anti-competitive regulatory practices, eventually forcing your entire population into the McService industry-and when doubling down on failing legislation drives up the cost of healthcare, real estate and higher education to unsustainably high levels over the course of a few short decades. I was wondering what the proper term for all that was

This, I can't believe how expensive fast food has gotten.

GenX here who has good money too...I understand what you are saying completely. the day i needed string i calculated i was up that day $9700 between crypto and stocks, yet like an old jew couldnt part with $2 for some string. These events seem to be happening with more frequency.

same with beer, I can easily buy some wine barrel stored craft beer bottle for 40 bucks, but paying 1.39 vs 1.19 for that "premium" washing power?
Never happening!
