74 and still working full time, 1. you are a tool with no friends, 2. you hate hanging out with your wife/girlfriend or she cant stand being around your boring viagra taking wimpy old fart ass. 3. you got no hobbies,fishing or hunting,golf ,tennis,feeding pigions, . 4. you need money , kids,grandkids,health reasons,bills and many other reasons.5. got no life other then work. if you dont fit into #4 your one of the others. Wife is ten years younger than me, still works full time. I used to fish weekly from Port of the Islands, and play golf regularly, but the midday sun and heat started to get to me and got to be no fun. Own a home with no mortgage and have money for retirement in the bank. You have no idea what you're talking about (normal) because you don't know me.

So inflation is really lower than 3.4%. Sounds like good news.

While the 5.4% increase in shelter costs is concerning and adds to inflation, it may not fully represent the overall situation. As a result, the actual inflation rate could be lower than the reported 3.4%."

The prediction was 180,000 jobs for May. We got 272,000.

I'll never retire. I wanted to "retire" or be semi retired at 55. However that fantasy died when the last 2 kids were born. If I can stay were I'm at I probably won't mind working. At least not the regular 40 hour weeks. Bit the outages suck and I don't want to be doing them in my 60s but I know I will be. Unless of course I win the lottery. Or the Nvidia stock I just bought explodes 😁

And more importantly, the inflation calculation used today is far different than what it was forty years ago. If those calculations were used today inflation would be way higher.

If so, congrats on finally making her an honest woman, and my condolences to her! Last I heard, she was still your eternal fiancé.

Unemployment also increased to 4%. This is not what the fed wants so guess what? Higher for longer. Thank Obama Care for the growth of the part time employee base. Businesses that anre too small to be able to afford to provide health care benefits for their employees are forced to hire 2 part timers rather than 1 full timer. Might make the employment stats look good, but it isn’t necessarily a reliable indicator of job growth.
