    yeah that inflation was before the wage hike and you stopped back then. So did my wife and I although much earlier and we don’t live in cali. I never realized how much the cheap in fast food effected my consuming of it. Once buck things became a thing of the past that was pretty much it. Same actually with lottery tickets. would throw down a buck every so often just to give a basis to fantasize but two or three bucks. Forget it. Pretty sure it will be a fiver soon.

      Damn I knew there was a reason I never play the lottery anymore. I used to throw down a buck for the dream once in a while when the payoff got big enough, but even dreams have been hit by inflation so they’re no longer affordable

        I never thought of it that way but yeah. Its kinda funny to because inflation makes things more expensive so mayb relative wise its not so much more but you need to be that much more careful with lower amounts because you basically don’t have discretional spending dough.
