Every thing costs too much these days. Folks are going deep into debt to buy
vehicles that used to cost a fraction of these new prices. I saw a bass
boat with payments spread out over fifteen years so the sticker had monthly
payments instead of final cost to own this boat. It caught my attention of
coarse then I read the small print. If you hit the lottery, bought Amazon for
$30.00/share or found a gold mine go for it but for the rest of us its sticker
shock gone ballistic. With all the manufacturers moving to Mexico and China
you would think the prices would hold, not so the price of my TV went from
50 grand to seventy when they moved to Mexico from Janesville Wis.
I guess American wages was not the problem. Another way to look at this is to take
out huge loans and complete your bucket list. You can't take it with you but
you can leave it behind.
