Things Are Really Getting Tougher By The Minute

It’s hard to keep up with the increased costs and expenses on every other thing nowadays

Just ten minutes ago, I felt okay about something.

“It’s only five dollars a month," I said. “So just take another look and consider it."

And that’s what I did. I opened the app and was about to sign up for the monthly program when something stopped me.

“Seven dollars and ninety-nine cents!"

I couldn’t believe it and of course I decided against it.

When did it increase by three dollars? I didn’t even know this happened.

It’s hard to even believe it was worth it at five dollars a month, and now it is definitely not worth it. That’s my opinion, of course, and maybe this cost is nothing to a fellow with deeper pockets.

Well, let me try to relax and find something to watch, like a new video series.

Okay, there’s a new show I want to see and I heard they just dropped the new series online so I am going to look into that.

I’m not going to mention the name of this new American comedy program, because that’s a rabbit hole of controversy, but I will say that I am definitely interested in watching this one.
