Quote - Actually I think we're spending it on all the other things that went up in price, like utilites, food, gas, ect. There just isn;t much extra left for any expensive goodies

Yeah, I know that feeling!  While I was off work on a disability that wasn't indexed with inflation, my rent went up $320.00 per month, and groceries where I live went up 90% just last year alone. No wonder I could hardly afford to put food on my table, in fact in the last year or two before I returned to work, there were some pretty lean times so far as food was concerned.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
