There was an article today about Americans literally having no money. They are exhausting their savings just trying to get by. For one particular family that had saved over two hundred thousand dollars or two hundred eight thousand Euros lost their money. The bank was called Synapse which now has a dispute with Evolve Bank has lost their money. So instead of receiving all their money they are only returning five hundred dollars or five hundred twenty Euros. They Synapse Bank went bankrupt. There is supposed to be a guarantee in America that at least two hundred fifty thousand dollars are insured by the U. S. Government. Now this has turned into reverse robbery. This family saved their money and put it aside from every paycheck and now they literally have no money. The trouble is they are not the only family. There are thousands of others with a loss of over thirty million. So the question of the day is where did the money go? The inflation is killing the average family. The groceries are makinging millions in profits while we pay huge sums for average every day food. I bought organic apples yesterday and then a second bag of non organic. Guess what? They were the same price. The Hawiian rolls we used to buy are now eight dollars or 8.32 Euros. That is now too expensive. So I chose a different brand. It tastes just as good for three dollars or 3.12 Euros. When I lived in Ireland I compared two groceries plus the Two Euro store for certain items. Now in America I have to check every grocery to find the best deals inlcuding Dollar Tree. Are you struggling? If you are on a budget for Christmas books are an excellent choice.
