Health care, insurance, food much more expensive. I live in MD where taxes, fees, fines general cost of living have gone up dramatically. The state even went Republican and this is a VERY blue state. Crossing the bay bridge now $6. Used to be $2. Lots of companies relocating to Virginia or moving there from other states. Our company went from $4B to $2B. thousands of layoffs, my boss, my boss's boss and lots of colleagues unemployed or "retired". HQ now in VA. So far I've been lucky. Very lucky in fact.

First world complaint- I simply can't afford to do DE's the way I used to. Our club lost the coveted mid-Ohio slot due to lack of attendance. Gas is high but gas at the track is more outrageous than ever.
