The highest inflation since the 1980s is making holiday budgeting a more complex equation for millions of middle-class families.

Remy, a human resources professional in Maryland, has felt the pain of high inflation in recent months. So, she asked her kids to cut down their Christmas lists and has been searching for the best deals. “It’s a lot less spending this year and a lot more budgeting and prioritizing,” Remy told CNN. “It’s a few items for the kids this year, as opposed to getting them all of the things on their list.

“And it’s kind of scary.” For months, she and her husband, a school security officer, have been dipping into savings and using credit cards to keep up with higher prices on food, gas, energy and more, as they take care of their two children. Budgeting for the holidays, she said, has been daunting. “How do you create a budget when you don’t have any sort of extra income,” she said.

What inflation …says Biden and his supporters

Thanks to Covid Policy. Supply shortages, excess gov spending, corporations taking advantage of the situation. Oh and corporate media like yours running cover for all them.

Maybe because of the record 'Black Friday' 'Cyber Monday sales'. Geez.

First we can’t visit grandma, now we can’t buy anything for grandma.

Is it Trump’s or Musk’s fault?

More fear mongering. Trump must be so pleased by your efforts. Too bad you couldn't get all of his loser candidates elected. Oh, but you tried!

All due to this INCOMPETENT PEDOPHILE

Journalism is dead. Liberalism destroys everything it touches … everything!

Is the owner of CNN Amroman or Amroscandinavian?

Can you imagine calling yourself a news organization and not covering the Twitter file dumps that prove the Biden admin and the FBI colluded with Twitter execs to silence real news stories they didn’t like. Think about that for a second.
