josie ward on facebook says i am making a lot more than i was pre-pandemic. inflation has not been bad for me. it has been hard on retirees with fixed income. everyone in the workforce should be making more money. also on facebook, the car i was going to buy back in march is now more than double its original monthly payment. i needed time to save for a down payment, but the fed raise the rate, which was 2.5%. it is well over 5%. i will read one more from facebook, tammy writes that housing costs are the big problem. i am disabled after surviving a ruptured brain aneurysm in 2001, my social security covers my rent, electricity and phone, that is it. i work part-time as a cashier so i can buy shampoo and toilet paper. i am in my 60's and paying 80% of my income for housing. it is ridiculous. we want to hear from you, what is the impact of inflation on your personal finances, and do you see things getting better or worse? democrats (202) 748-8000. republicans (202) 748-8001. independents (202) 748-8002. we are going to go to the independent line now, michael is
