Holy shit you guys went to $7 a beer too?Johnny_P wrote: ↑Thu Jul 27, 2017 2:29 pm The biggest thing around me is housing costs. Rents have skyrocketed lately.
Other things are going up too though. A large covfefe is now $3.00 when it used to be about $2.25 or $2.50. Food in general took a raise. And beers at the bar, $7 is normal anymore when it used to be $4 or $5.

that's my best inflation GAYge.
Yea most ppl are surprisingly in the same boat. Pay is way higher here but offset by housing. I'm just kind of shocked at ppl making 50-80k a year and blowing $7 on beer in other states. When I was at that pay I snuck booze inJohnny_P wrote: ↑Thu Jul 27, 2017 4:11 pmThe raised pinky finger hipster beers are $7.
Still good microbrew but not quite curled mustache quality beers are $6.
Poverty Bud Light and Miller, etc are hovering around $4-5.
Yeah it's just as as your area brah. Only thing you guys have on us is housing costs.

It's a pretty decent gauge! Beer doesn't cost that much here. The Pay Area and East Coast metro areas are fucking ridiculous.max225 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 27, 2017 2:40 pmHoly shit you guys went to $7 a beer too?Johnny_P wrote: ↑Thu Jul 27, 2017 2:29 pm The biggest thing around me is housing costs.

Pay area is actually cheap as fuck once you adjust for wages.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Thu Aug 17, 2017 1:26 pmIt's a pretty decent gauge! Beer doesn't cost that much here. The Pay Area and East Coast metro areas are fucking ridiculous.
I walked into some hipster English gastropub on the strip there and they were selling $14 beers. Fourteen dollars Max. In the middle of the fking desert. I concluded the whole city was catering to people on expense accounts at that point and I may never go back. I never really liked the place anyway, I do enjoy some sports wagering for a weekend. That's it doe.max225 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 17, 2017 1:29 pmPay area is actually cheap as fuck once you adjust for wages.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Thu Aug 17, 2017 1:26 pm

I was shocked with Portland and Seattle who are as HIGH or HIGHER than SF, while incomes are lower.
JEW York, in particular, was bad... even 4 years ago I they had double digit beer. They must have crossed the $20 mark for a lot of drinks at this point.
Vegas went off the charts also. Considering that I am an alcoholic I'd go broke there... so it is just to Walgreens and to the streets out there.
I haven't played credit card games in a long time but I have been bombarded by 1 year @ 0% by my Bank of America Cards. I have a Discover card as well that does the same thing. I have not used those cards in years doe. And once you come to the end of the road of promotion with Discover they charge you like 19% or some kind of payday loan rate.Acid666 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 17, 2017 1:18 pm Can anyone recommend a decent credit card thats got a good apr and possibly offers 0% or super low numbers for transfers? My credit is somewhere in the high 700s. And Im looking to possibly find something better than my Chase slate card since I'm spending larger batches than usual for our wedding that's coming up. Normally I'd charge something and then pay it off in 2-3 payments so I rarely have huge debts looming over me, but I'm going to be spending a little more than normal due to the wedding stuff.
I will point out the obvious and state that acquiring credit card debt and getting married are antithetical to financial health.Acid666 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 17, 2017 1:18 pm Can anyone recommend a decent credit card thats got a good apr and possibly offers 0% or super low numbers for transfers?
