Absolutely not… groceries and restaurant (including fast food) has been crazy expensive. Everything, everything we buy on a monthly basis @ Costco and Sam’s Club has gone up in price. And now property tax has gone up because of inflation (that’s how they justified the property tax increase in the letter we’ve received a few months back)… so our local government gets a bump by stealing our money due to inflation.
I’m not an audiophile (I listen to different genres of music), but two years ago I wanted new speakers. Genelec was the brand that was recommended to me. Never heard of the brand, never heard them in action before buying. After a few days of test driving a pair, which by the way, this was the most expensive pair of speakers (monitors as they called) I’ve ever bought, I realized these were by far the best sounding speakers I have ever heard. I don’t know if there are far superior brands out there but I don’t think I’ll ever buy another brand of speakers. Next year, assuming chit stain is kicked out of the WH, and the economy bounces back, I plan to buy another pair for my pole barn which I’m planning to convert into my home gym.
