Surely nobody is finding it easy to cope with the rising prices. Right from the professionals to businessmen to the common man all are finding difficult to manage this hike. The politicians are finding it tough to convice the electorate that they are doing their best to check inflation. The fact is that we are currently in a world with overheated economies and efforts are being made to cool down the huge demand and at the same time to curb speculative activity to cool prices. All this has not yeilded any results and the people are suffering as their budgets are getting unbalanced.

Yes. My family and I are finding it very hard with the high prices of everything. Just this week, my electric went up $80.00 more and my house payment went up by $76.00 more. That hurts us alot. I am already working seven days a week to help make up for the loss and get the things we need but uncle Sam wants every penny of it.

It's really hard, everything went up too. Pretty bad with the economy right now, people are suffering and the government is not trying hard enough to help it maintain or even lower the price.. With those happening many times half of the year what more could happen before the year ends, it's hard especially for those earning minimum wage..

Things have been much harder and me and my fiance and me have cut back a great deal . We plan cheaper better meals now , and cut back on how much we go out . It is crazy how high gas has been and how everyday items have been on the rise . It is hard , hard times for many people .
