These days, just about everything is more expensive. People have been cutting back on driving, holding off on retirement plans, and otherwise making adjustments in light of the current economy.

As people labor to cut back on their expenses, they just continue rising. Mortgages, credit card bills, car payments, etc., have increased, due to the Federal Reserve continuously elevating interest rates.

With inflation growing, people are altogether struggling to avoid the complete destruction of their finances and economic security.

Now, as the 4th of July remains around the corner, it’s come out that prices for cookouts have increased by almost 20%.
