It feels hard because it IS, and it's WAY worse than it looks. Topher Project Ep 526

You're not imagining it... it's tough right now.

"Ohhh but we had it tougher back in 1989 when interest rates were 17%! Kids these days are just too soft!"

No, actually you didn't, and I've got the numbers to prove it.

The cost of keeping a roof over your head is ALREADY at 1989 levels and set to get worse in 2027, but there ARE things you can do to improve your situation, and I'll arm you with the numbers you need to win the 'Back in my day' argument once and for all.



While today's interest rate stress is comparable to the late 1980s the price of utilities, like electricity and water, are much higher. Things today are much worse and it's all due to globalist policies pushed by the major political parties.
