A Normal Household Spends $445 More On Groceries Than It Did A Year Ago. Just Ask Gen Z
We all know inflation is happening. Itâs inescapable thanks to federal policies.
But itâs helpful to gauge just how much more weâre spending on basic goods.
And itâs hitting every age group. Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and even Generation Z.
Gen Z Being Hit by Inflation
And inflation isnât poised to be going down any time soon. While it had been headed in the right direction, the Federal Reserveâs refusal to properly hike interest rates has inflation going back up.
The latest figures show that prices went up 3.5% from one year ago. Add those percentages up over the years, and you get rampant inflation.
Business Insider reports:
Groceries are shaping up to be a top spending priority for younger generations, a February report from McKinsey & Company foundâŠ
âŠAll generations are feeling the pinch of inflation at grocery stores and for goods and services in general. The typical American household would need to spend $445 more a month to purchase the same goods and services as a year ago, a report from Moodyâs found.
$445 per month. Thatâs $5,340 per year out of Americansâ pockets for no good reason.
As prices continue to rise, a presidential election is underway.
And a lot of American voters are looking at Joe Biden as prices continue to rise. His primary opponent is presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
From CBS News, âA recent CBS News poll found that 65% of Americans remember the economy under former President Donald Trump as being good, compared with 38% giving the current economy under President Joe Biden the same positive assessment.â
âOn Super Tuesday, Biden and Trump won commanding victories across nearly all the states holding Democratic and Republican nominating contests, according to CBS News projections,â CBS News noted. âThat is solidifying the likelihood of a general election rematch between the two in November.â
âIn fact, almost 6 in 10 voters polled by CBS News described the U.S. economy under Biden as bad,â the story noted.

Inflation Canât Be Ignored

But in the meantime, every age group and generation is obviously suffering from the cost of good spiking like no time in recent memory.
