since the advent of Onambla most have had to dip into their savings to pay current expenses. With gasoline at above $3.00 per gallon for most of that time, it was a significant drain on most. Throw in long term unemployment, and a return to half their previous salary, and it comes as no surprise that most folks don’t have two nickles to rub together.
I agree. With most new jobs being part time how can those people save?
Insurance premiums are what is killing me.
From $385/ mo to $1300/mo for the same policy since Obamacare was enacted.
Granted, my health has declined in those years, but 20% hikes every year are about pricing me out, and I can’t afford to be without insurance.
