inflation still feels expensive

Why You Feel Broke Even When “Inflation” Is Down — And What To Do About It

EDITOR'S NOTES

They tell you inflation is under control. That the Fed has it handled. That everything’s “back to normal.” But if you’re buying groceries, paying rent, or filling up your gas tank, you know that’s a lie. This isn’t just about rising prices—it’s about how the system is rigged to crush working Americans at every level. And it’s not getting better. It’s getting more dangerous. This is your breakdown of what’s really happening, why it hits different depending on where you stand, and what you must start doing now before the next economic storm hits.

What the Official Numbers Won’t Tell You

The Bureau of Labor Statistics says inflation rose 2.7% year-over-year in November. That’s the official line. Not catastrophic, they say. Manageable.

But for most Americans, that number is utterly meaningless.

Because inflation isn’t felt the same way across society. It’s not a flat number. It’s not just math. It’s about what you actually buy, where you live, and how much of your income goes to things you can’t stop buying—like food, housing, gas, and power.

The folks at the top don’t feel it the way you do. They’re not clipping coupons or choosing between paying the rent and fixing the car. They’re not praying that eggs are on sale this week.

This system doesn’t just print inflation. It distributes pain—and it does it with precision.

Why Working-Class Americans Are Getting Crushed

If you earn less, you spend more of your paycheck on non-negotiables. You don’t get to "cut back" on electricity. You can’t "wait for prices to come down" before eating dinner. Rent doesn’t go on sale.

And when those essentials go up—even just a few percent—it’s devastating.

Meanwhile, the rich can shift consumption, ride out spikes, or use their wealth to buy in bulk or pre-pay. Their dollars stretch. Yours shrink.

Even worse, when inflation eats away your earnings, you turn to credit. And that’s where the trap gets deadly.

Most low- and middle-income households now carry revolving credit card debt—meaning they're paying 20% or more in interest just to stay afloat. That’s not just unsustainable. It’s predatory.

So not only are you paying more for everything, but you’re also paying extra to access the money you need to pay more. That’s the debt treadmill—and it was built to keep you running.

The Middle Class Is Being Slowly Liquidated

You want to know how the middle class dies?

It doesn’t vanish in a crash. It erodes.

You start with some savings. Then inflation eats it.
You try to maintain the lifestyle, but debt creeps in.
You put expenses on cards. The interest builds.
Then comes the job loss. Or the car repair. Or the medical bill.
And suddenly, you’re not middle class anymore. You’re just pretending.

And here’s the hardest part: you’re doing everything “right.” You work. You budget. You hustle. But the system wasn’t designed for you to win. It was designed for your productivity to prop up someone else’s passive income.

The Wealthy Still Feel Inflation—But They Know How to Dodge It

If you're pulling in six or seven figures, inflation is annoying—not dangerous.

You’ve got options:

  • Refinance the mortgage.
  • Move investments around.
  • Use rewards credit cards to stay liquid.
  • Offload risk to someone else.

Sure, rent is up and airfare costs more—but you’re not choosing between groceries and gas. You’re choosing between steak and sushi.

But don’t get too comfortable. Because the same system bleeding out the working and middle class is rotting the floorboards underneath your wealth.

We’ve already seen banks collapse this decade. We’ve already seen panics. The dollar is still declining. And the Fed’s balance sheet is still toxic. Your assets are only safe until they’re not.

Inflation Is Just the Symptom—The Real Disease Is Systemic Theft

Here’s what no one on cable news will admit: This is theft.

When the government prints money to fund endless wars, bail out failing banks, or hand billions to foreign interests while Americans drown in debt—that’s not stimulus. That’s robbery.

When the Fed devalues the currency year after year while wages stagnate, they are stealing your future one percentage point at a time.

When banks charge 20% APR on your credit card while paying you 1% on your savings, that’s not economics. That’s exploitation.

And when inflation “cools” on paper but your rent is still rising, your cart is still emptying, and your bank account is still bleeding dry—you know the con is still on.

What Americans Can Do — By Economic Tier

If You’re Barely Hanging On

Cut debt first. It’s your enemy. Get out from under the interest trap any way you can.

Use every tool at your disposal: community resources, housing relief, tax credits—whatever gets you breathing room.

And build cash. Even $300 stashed away is a shield when the system locks up.

If You’re Middle Class

It’s time to shrink before you’re forced to. Downsize smart. Reassess every fixed expense. Look for income multipliers, not just side hustles.

Start thinking in terms of resilience, not appearance. The storm is already here—your job is to stop the leaks.

If You’re Upper Income

Move quietly, but move fast. The digital dollar is coming. Surveillance is tightening. Paper wealth can vanish with one “bank holiday.”

Secure your physical assets. Reposition out of debt-driven markets. Stay mobile. Stay liquid. Stay ready.

Final Word: They’re Not Going to Warn You When It Breaks

No sirens will sound. No press conference will be held.

One morning, you’ll wake up and the banks will be closed. The app won’t work. The balance will show zero. Or worse—your money will still be there, but you’ll need permission to use it.

The digital dollar. The social credit score. The programmable payment system. It’s all coming. And it’s all connected to the inflation lie.

They’ve been looting the country for decades. And they’re almost done.
