Auto Insurance hikes

[Ronin13]

Anyone here get a 40% increase in their pay this year for doing absolutely nothing different? Anyone here seen 40% inflation in the last year? Do brand new cars cost 40% more than the same model last year? Used cars? Did any parts or service on your car cost 40% more this year than they did last year? Nope. Nope. Nope.

40% is bullshit.

Nope- highest raise I've received was this year at 6% (3% for performance eval, and 3% COLA increase- 1st in my 3 years working here). It's across the board- everything is increasing except incomes. You can get a 4% raise, but when insurance goes up 20%, groceries go up 8%, and taxes go up another 2%, your pay is not commensurate.

If you really want to have fun, just go over to https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl and start plugging in the Baby Boomers' "Well I got through college on a part time job making $5/hr in 1970! you lazy kids these days!"...

Preach that truth.
