i still have to count my lucky stars because i got a break on the other side of things that overcomes all this inflation. i got the CAW out of the win pools in New York and Kentucky is now giving me penny breakage!

The White House would probably say they insurance companies are evil and price gouging. I got hit with the exact same car insurance increase, went from $300 to $390 every 6 months. That makes sense as it matches the increase in the cost of used cars. As for the house, the cost of materials for home repair and construction have gone sky high.
