The 'K-shaped economy' has shown up at the gasoline pump as per Yahoo finance. Those making less than $150k are really feeling the pinch at the pump. The old adage was if you cannot afford beef, you buy chicken, now people cannot afford chicken and buy gas. Now, the market and economy depend on the upper arm of the K and how they react to gas prices. Eventually demand for gas will fall and we enter a recession. How have you been affected by the gas price hikes and the k shaped economy?

Israel our greatest ally will save us.

>>62203822This is why I invest in porn. It's like legal heroin with how devoted its addicts get.
>>62203401We need a temporary ban on the term "K-shaped economy" until leftshits actually learn what it means.
>>62204699It is real though
>>62204713When did I say it isn't?
>>62203401If you weren't part of the top 10% in 2025, you're lower class
>>62203401We need the K shape. Can’t just have goy plumbers and electricians making an additional $5 an hour and illegals are getting deported so we have no other way to keep wage growth down and keep our home prices up.
>>62203401i make $147k gross and live on annual budget of $40k and i still feel poor.
>>622054191. A million dollars isn't what it used to be.2. Most "millionaires" are only called that because their house is worth a lot of money, but they actually have very modest liquid assets.(cnc operator bought a house in 1972 and now it's worth 1.2M)
>Buyers in the northeast and westLMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I live in my house.I have gained zero dollars from it being assessed at 100k more in value, but the property taxes have gone up by 2k. So now I'm down 2k every year, plus insurance costs go up, plus I still have to do regular maintenace. So I gained nothing despite being a "buyer in the northeast" but I just pay more every year."Real estate" starts being real once you get into rentals, it doesn't even exist if you're "in it" with just a home you're trying to live in.>SellersA record number of them have price cuts to the point where they turn their houses into rentals because they don't get the payoff they want>Luxury buyersYeah it's an okay market for them, not like you're making money off this thoughReminder that pretty much all real estate sites and agents are just looking to get money, almost everyone loses money in real estate and the returns are historically shit.Pending home sales are at an all-time low and they artificially restrict supply, they actually have tons of housing sitting around that they trickle into the market to not crash their own supply they have sitting idle.
>>62205534it's purely psychological
>>62204179how the fuck do you invest in this shit, got kike friends or devils phone number?
>>62205534How? I make about what you make, spend like 50% more than you. Do you sock at least $2500 away in investments each month?
I haven't been able to find a job so haven't had to drive much
>>62203401>k shaped What a confusing info graphic.The economy is a champagne glass.
>>62203401>Those making less than $150k are really feeling the pinch at the pump.so basically everyone who isn;t a nepokid or a boomer.
>>62204699I agree, i fucking hate those evil fucks for slandering the job creators. The biggest thing keeping poor people poor is welfare. Just abolish social welfare and all social welfare related departments in government and the poor can finally work without nothing restricting their economic potential. Then USA will become the most developed country in the world!
>>62209070This is much better. Why the hell are people latching onto this special K BS like their life depends on it? "Special K" more like STUPID K.
>>62209070That's the entire world. Basically all of America would be in that top part.
>>62203401It's an IQ test shaped as a K.
>>62209129This but unironically and also abolish income taxes, they are unconstitutional and evil.
Depends where you live. I make pretty much exactly 100K and live in the Midwest. I have 2 kids and a mcmansion and am doing fine.If I lived in California I probably couldn't afford being single with a studio apartment.
>>62209011> Do you sock at least $2500 away in investments each month?yes, of course. outside of my $40k annual budget i might spend $5-8k on "other" stuff per year, hobbies or frivolous crap like occasionally dining out or buying a little alcohol every now and then. my annual savings rate (401k with match + personal savings/investment) is therefore $65-70k a year.maybe it's because i'm mentally ill, but it just doesn't feel like very much. someone like me should be much better off: either a higher income, closer to $200k a year, or the same income but with a lower cost of living. the way things are, it feels like i'm being scammed.
>>62209558just keep your head down and keep saving like that dude, you will have a nice easy retirement watching the rest of the world burn
>>62209129What?
