Full Episode
I booked a one-way ticket to Thailand. I've done a lot of things in my life that many people don't get to do because they chose to do the right thing. You know what I mean? They chose to have a job and a family and go to work every day. I didn't do any of those things. I've just been being a maniac my whole life. So now, I'm going to be turning 40 in February, and it's halftime.
Why are you leaving?
What are you doing?
How did you come to the decision that you don't want to be in the U.S. anymore?
Just look at everything that's happened since 2020. You know, the state of the country in 2020 when everything happened, you know, the C word. You know, since then, the cost of living has gone up maybe 200 percent. Don't quote me on that exactly because I'm not an economist, you know, but it's just.
Even if they say it's gone up.
10 or 20 percent it's really actually significant no we were spending jess and i were spending 200 a week for groceries now we're spending 350 yeah i seen the tiktok where the kid pulled up his amazon no it was uh uh his walmart a grocery order from like 2019 or something like that and things had gone up like two three hundred percent yeah it was outrageous and it wasn't and sometimes if they hadn't gone up they actually did go up because they actually would
still sell that but they'd sell less of it but charge you a little bit more yeah that's called shrinkflation they would just you know instead of being 24 ounces they would shrink it down to like 15 or 20 ounces and then they would jack the price up uh on top of that so not only are they raising their prices but they're giving you less of their products yeah you're raising my price as well i don't get i don't get a dozen hot dogs now now i'm getting 10
Yeah, and I don't see that trend changing anytime soon. I mean, the current political arrangement I happen to agree with. Let's just put that where it is. But I don't see things getting cheaper anytime soon. I don't see the cost of living going down just because we have the president, just because Trump's in office or whatever.
