Why does the price of everything keep going up, and yet my paycheck stays the same size? A couple of years ago I thought I had a good job with good pay.
- After two solid years of constant inflation, my paycheck seems quite anemic now.
This company does not do an annual “cost of living” raise, but the cost of living is going through the roof! I need to get a different job, or a second job, just to make ends meet. I have cut back on my spending in many ways, but one place I find it hard to save money is on medical cannabis. Much like I used to be loyal to a particular brand of cigarettes, now I’m loyal to certain strains of medical cannabis. This is a habit I had to break myself of. As much as I hated to become a value-shopper, I needed to save money on my monthly medical cannabis spending. I started to peruse the websites for every medical cannabis dispensary within driving distance, to see if they had any special deals. Sometimes a new strain of medical cannabis is being promoted, and is offered at a discount. Other times there are older cannabis products that aren’t selling well, so they are discounted to help get rid of them. I bought some cannabis gummies that allegedly expired 6 months ago, and they got me really baked. I hope to get a raise and go back to smoking my favorite medical cannabis strains, but in the meantime I will do whatever I have to.
