Prices were up 5% in May compared to last year as the cost of many goods keeps rising. The rise in gas prices is one of the most noticeable signs of inflation.

RBOB Gas (wholesale gasoline cost) has increased from $1.03 per gallon to $2,18 per gallon, since election day. That strongly influences all other prices. Biden is a disaster.

Caused by inflation, remember when we produced more energy than we used? Yes, that was six months ago.

Adam Schrader

Stupid question. Of course higher prices on everything effects one's finances

4 boards to replace on our deck was almost 5xs what it was last year. Fuel has doubled since Biden took office and groceries have doubled some have tripled

The price increases are not across the board, so their impact is felt differently depending on what consumers purchase.

The items that have gone up the most have not been things I needed yet, but I feel for my friends and neighbors who are being affected.

Only your mom! Whether bio or adopt. But how about you go visit? Give her the card in person! But card is nice.

I only sent cards to my mother and grandmother, they were the only mother figures in my life

To honor her and show love and care.

A mother Should receive a present and/or card from her child (regardless of age). But, it is a really sweet Bonus for mother to receive one from a child not her own!
