My Declining Standard of Living

[Black Landlord]

I shop at the cheap cheap ghetto supermarket; "as much as I can carry on my handlebars" has increased from about $30 to almost $60 in the past year. Fortunately I'm doing fine job and income-wise, if I don't think about the 100+k in equity I've lost over the past year and a half.
If I had the expense of a car I'd barely be breaking even each month, and definitely wouldn't be able to save anything.
