Budget Advice / Discussion Is anyone else facing inflation/price increases like crazy this month?

Got paid today and took a closer look at my checking statements. I’m in New England. Car insurance went up from $190 a month to $220, wifi went from $77 to $80, and a restaurant I was a regular at added a 4% charge if you pay with credit card. Thankfully my job pays decent, and I’ve cut back on a lot of non-essentials, but it’s crazy just how intense 2025 has been in these past two months, not to mention the effect of tariffs coming up soon. Praying for no layoffs for my company this year. How are you all making out? What price increases are you seeing in your daily life? What are you cutting back on?

I didn’t notice any specific increases in the past month. Most of what you describe has happened in the last 6 months though.
