Did it ever really go away? Maybe it was just in hibernation.
Just today, Verizon notified us to expect a $15 monthly increase next month. That, after a $12 increase in 2023/2024.
Also today, Amazon told us the vitamins we get on auto delivery are increasing 35 percent with the next delivery.
The dentist called this afternoon to set up the semi-annual cleaning appointment. It will now be $249, up from $200 the last visit.
Edit I: I see, too, that 30-year-mortgage rates today have topped 7 percent for the first time since May.
Edit II: Just in: Microsoft said it's increasing the price of its Microsoft 365 bundle for consumers by $3 a month. So it's going from $99 a year to $135 a year - voila, a 36 percent increase!
