I am only two years into my 20's but is it too early for my 20's crisis? Apparently you have a mini mid-life crisis in your 20's that usually happens around 26. You figure out how to manage life after college or without your parents help or whatever and then you move on. I on the other hand am not worried about that, I am more so worried about my career, the career I have yet to start. Youth is valued around the world, and a lot in America, and by valued I mean young guns doing well before they turn 25, multi millionaires, self-made. Am I behind? Should I be farther? Am I jumping the gun or am I moving too slowly? I could blame the economy, but that is way too easy. A lot of people are still thriving despite this economy, they have great skills, true wealth, not paper wealth or paper skills, the stuff that help sank us int he first place. I refuse to be left behind. I will literally stop others from succeeding until I do! Any who things could be much worse, I could have no true direction at all. I will give my 20's a Digit Up, I see the silver lining.
So we all know that there is a 3-4% inflation of everything in America every year. We do not like it, but we deal with it. I recently took a trip to Walmart, Toys R Us and Target and noticed that inflation has hit a favorite product of mine. In this economy with so many people out of work and with our national debt inching closer to the ceiling daily I cannot be totally shocked that this product's price has become inflated, but I still do not like. I collect and sometimes play with toy cars, Matchbox and Hot Wheels of course. Matchbox has always been cheaper at around 94 cents per car with Hot Wheels selling for around 97 cents per car. Last week I noticed that those prices rose to $1.04 for Matchbox and $1.11 for Hot Wheels. I was at Toys R Us though so I just assumed it was their price, their toys are not always cheap. But I noticed as I went to Target and then Walmart, the "always" low price store, that these prices were consistent. It actually did not hit me until I bought a Hot Wheels car and handed the cashier the money and I realized I owed her 7 more cents. Now I can somewhat understand the price hikes, but why so much? Like gas this will only lead t
o higher prices int he future. Think about it; 2023 paying $1.50 for a little toy car. In the back on my mind I know I have more important things to focus on and this makes up the smallest portion of my life... Is that sad? Any who I am giving this inflation a Digit Down.
