Clothes are getting too small

I am growing sideways.  I can’t even see my toes when I look down. All I see now is my big belly.

I do not think my exercise works. I am still growing sideways.

Purchasing power

Ten years ago, $10 can buy a lunch at McDonald’s for a family of three (couple plus one kid).

Five years ago, $15 buy a lunch at McDonald’s for a family of four (couple plus two kids).

Yesterday, I would need $25 to buy a lunch at McDonald’s for a family of five (couple plus three kids).

However, during the past ten years, my income only increases about 30%.

The most important factor of a purchasing power is not based off inflation but your own kids.  The purchasing power goes down dramatically as the kids grow up.  I can’t image what my life will be if they choose to go to college.
