Is everyone’s money real tight right now?

Money tight? Naw, plenty of these douches out on the lakes soon enough.

According to everyone in this group, no stats are to be trusted no matter where they originate.

If I use stats that go against someone’s beliefs, they say the stats are bs and somehow corrupt. If I use stats they agree with, they won’t question it in the least. lol.

Personally, I look at stats from multiple sources that have data to support.

I know what things cost me, and I witnessed the “employment issues”.
Doesn’t take any real intellectual skill set to see those figures are complete fabrication.

Exactly. People act like this is magically the fault of one single person.

One azzhole at the top can really screw things up. Drugs always soar when Democrats are in office, even in the most secure building in the world and no one knows who or how they got there, Keystone Pipeline and other environmental BS rules, the border wall, and catch and release. The main thing that Biden did was screw up world peace. Biden sucks just like all Democrats.

The cruel joke of course, was that not so long ago, that money she spent was your money.

So, to answer the OP's question: Yep. It's tight. The landlord sold my house to me. We would like to move into s something a bit smaller now the kids are moving out. We pulled some equity out of the house and made some improvements, but we still have mortgage payment higher than our rent was.
So for me to continue with my hobbies, I sell stuff I'm not using anymore.
