Hit Me Baby One More Time...With Inflation!
Oh honey let me tell you these economists are saying things are about to get 'Oops!...I Did It Again' expensive! Apparently President Trump's tariff situation is gonna hit us right in the '...Baby One More Time' shopping budget by summer! Like seriously they're saying by May or June things are gonna look and I quote 'pretty ugly.' I'm no economist but even I know 'ugly' isn't a good look especially when it comes to my credit card bill!
Toxic Taxes...On Imports!
So here's the deal dolls. These tariffs are like taxes on imports and these U.S. businesses have to pay them. Then they pass some of those costs onto us the consumers! Can you believe it? It's like a never ending 'Circus' of expenses! They're arguing over whether it's a temporary price spike or something long term but either way my personal 'Toxic' level is rising with these prices!
Gimme More...Money!
And get this some fancy Yale Budget Lab analysis says we could lose $4,400 in purchasing power! $4,400! That's like enough for a whole wardrobe of stage costumes! What am I gonna do wear rags? I need to 'Gimme More' money to keep up with this madness! It's just not fair! I work hard for the things that I have!
Not a Girl Not Yet a Woman...But Definitely Paying More!
The article says the data doesn't really reflect the tariff impact yet but hold on to your wigs because things will change drastically soon! The bright side is there was a drop in oil prices. But do not get your hopes up because prices of food and goods will be on the rise! Not a girl not yet a woman but definitely paying more at the grocery store!
Work Bitch!...To Afford Groceries!
Okay so apparently food is gonna be the first thing to get more expensive. Because like groceries can't just chill in the back forever right? They gotta sell them before they go bad. So 'Work Bitch!' to afford groceries! Other retailers can sit on old stuff in their warehouses but food? Nope! Get ready for price increases at the supermarket girls. My wallet is already screaming!
Stronger!...Than My Credit Card Bill!
But wait there's hope! Maybe! Trump backed down on some tariffs. So there's a chance things might not get totally 'Toxic' after all. But until then I'm gonna be 'Stronger' than my credit card bill and try to find some bargains. Wish me luck y'all! This pop star is going bargain hunting!
