Ten Things That Used to Be Affordable, That Now Feel Like a Luxury

Everything is more expensive nowadays.  So much, that certain stuff that used to seem normal and affordable, now feels like a luxury.

Here are a few things that are ridiculously overpriced these days:

1.  Vet care. It’s way too expensive, and pet insurance never seems to cover it.

2.  Red meat. The rest of the groceries are so much money that people started cutting back on their protein too.

3.  The cost of maintenance on your house.  Good luck getting anything fixed for a reasonable price.

4.  Cable TV

5.  Movie tickets

6.  Sneakers

7.  Babysitters

8.  Concert tickets.  Somebody commented, “I saw Bob Dylan for $6.50.”

9.  The dentist.

10.  Any house. Someone said, “In 1955 my parents bought their home for $16,000.  My father made $5,000 a year.  Today that same house sold for $1,700,000.”
