      Its been close to two or more I think for me. Pretty much its like we had that first bought of inflation and then I think mcdonalds had some contract pricing for eggs because all of a sudden their breakfast sandwiches were a good deal vs other fair. Taco bell sorta held the line with some stuff that was worthwhile but like the nacho fries when they came started being over a dollar and yeah it just became non paltry. Its sorta the same with the lottery. I could drop a buck here and there to dream but two dollars and even three dollars. Its not like I can’t afford it but its no longer something I can just not think about expense wise. I pretty much would need to be making 150k or more and stably to be spending the way I used to.
