groceries - outrageous
Rent- outrageous
Transportation expenses- sky high
Tuition- doubled from last year


Every time we get paid the money is gone in less than three minutes. My husband works a full time job and I work one full time job and two part time jobs. This is not sustainable!! How are we supposed to survive??

I honestly don’t know. I’m considering switching fields to get a higher paying job. It’s a huge societal problem and it’s so stressful.

Easier said than done. Many people get paid fairly well. But with the costs due to inflation, almost everyone is feeling it. Some more than others

Not necessarily. We make alot accordingly. We don't have any programs. But everything is so so expensive, you can cry. Every sneeze at the grocery store is $150. For nothing.

Privileged much?? I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that your husband has a successful business and you own a house or two, in a busy frum city.

We work really hard and we earn a nice amount.
I’d gladly move but moving costs a fortune and afaik no where is that much cheaper if you want frum amenities, and if it is, the jobs pay a lot less.

I’m pretty sure every frum family no matter income bracket is feeling it at different levels. ( unless they are gazillionaires). We have a very good income and before the country went to you know what we were living well without too much worry. Now my husband is extremely anxious all the time and losing sleep

I think those that have government programs don't feel it as much as those that don't.

I wonder if this will actually be a relief, if Frum prices will reflect those trends. Looks like food isn’t coming down anytime soon 😞
