I saw a post, or two about shrinking food packages. The pound of spaghetti

With shrinking packs and price hikes, it's going to get a lot harder to do
much of anything. Like feed the family after home repairs. Anyone but me
feeling the squeeze?

What's next? A 100 ounce gallon of paint?

I just had to roll over an IRA - 0.25% for 14 months.
Could have gotten 0.4% for much longer time. Might as well spend the
money now or put it under my mattress.

Or put it somewhere other than a bank.


It's a relatively small IRA and I have reached the age where I take
minimum distributions. While I have plenty of stocks, I don't want more
or anything risky at my age. If I needed to repair something, I'd spend
the money now.
