Prices are going up like crazy. Everything costs a lot more than it used to, anywhere between 5 to 10 dollars more than two years ago. Do you believe we will need at least one million dollars to continue to live comfortably?

May Day @HaruLoid (1592) • Philippines 21 Jun 24

My colleagues and I were talking yesterday about costs rising up. We all seriously agreed that today's 1,000 feels like a 100 only. You can barely buy anything with it unlike before.

People only hear what they want to hear

AbbyGreenhill @AbbyGreenhill (45490) • United States 21 May 17

It is obvious that there are many instances where people don't really pay attention to what is said or presented to them. They latch onto a few key words and the rest passes them by. I will give you an example: My cousin never...
